Kingdom of Italy
Requirements
Description
As a powerful leader during Italy's tumultuous social revolution (1861-1946) wisely choose leaders, causes, and adapt to your opponent's tactics to win. Support Italy's King, Pope, and Prime Minister to gain control of a newly unified Italy. Devise clever strategies for creating your political, economic, and military power base. Grow your power by adding cities and their resources, appointing political leaders, and leading military attacks.
BUT BEWARE!
Enemies may implement their own military, political, or economic strategies to exploit your weaknesses. Allies may turn into enemies, deposing your leaders, instigating revolts in your cities, taking your income and might.
Kingdom of Italy realistically reenacts the turmoil and tactics from Italy’s past - bringing a totally new level of competitiveness to card games. Diplomacy, risk-taking, military planning, deception, and a sudden turn of fortune are all viable approaches for gaining the upper hand.
Will you seek friendship and allies or take what could be yours?
Will you appoint leaders supporting Pope Pius XI or secularize cities to take over Parliament?
Will you employ spies and instigate revolts to overthrow the game's leader or focus on building military might?
The choices and their consequences are yours in the Kingdom of Italy!
