, Comment regular icon0 comments

The republic will fall soon! You, a powerful roman statesperson, will use diplomacy, and, at times, treason to protect Rome and claim the title of Caesar.

Senator

In Senator, as an influential senator, you will try, obviously, to defend your family, get more power in the Senate and protect Rome. Actually, it is much more than that - you'll covet the title of Caesar, and try to become Rome's newest emperor.

"how to play" (with no further details) in less than 2 minutes:

Play and Learn

Senator is a history lesson on its own. Its design, how it is played, its goals and objectives, and how all of this impacted history makes us understand a lot. Senator brings this to the game very well; the pertinent matters of the time, the way it was all done, etc... In the end, in Senator, one thing rings true: "learn as you play"!

Your strategic thought process will be tested at all times, and you'll have to know exactly the best moment to spend, or not, your Influence Cards when it's time to vote the Agendas.

Math is also used here a lot when it's time to count cards, or even count their values, as you can only play Influence Cards with values higher than the last opponent, if you want to win an Agenda.

Pedagogically, bluffing wouldn't be the best way to call this ability, but knowing exactly when to show interest in something or not is a very important ability in Senator, so I would call it emotional control.

Senator has a lot to teach us and entertain us!

I strongly recommend Senator for your collection!!!
