3 modes of play!
COMPETETIVE OBJECTIVE
- To win, players must build impressive Monuments and fill their city with incoming settlers. Monuments have unique scoring bonus that will only apply to the city they are built in, while claiming settlers unlocks the point value they are covering on the shared settler tracks.
- At the end of the game, players will add up their scores and the player with the most victory points is declared the winner. This player is awarded governorship of the province with their city being named its new capital.
COOPERATIVE OBJECTIVE
- The emperor wants to increase the efficiency and profit of each of his provinces. As a group of magistrates you must work together to ensure your province doesn’t displease him, which would result with you losing your position—and your possibly your head.
- Follow the emperor’s Edict, complete his preferred Monuments, and plan carefully to make sure you all stay off the chopping block!
SOLO OBJECTIVE
- As the lone magistrate you will need to juggle the demands of incoming settlers, prioritize their arrival, build required Monuments and follow the Emperor’s Edict! You must play smart to succeed, or risk ending up in the colosseum for the famed spectacle of Gorus Maximus!
"That ease of 'this is what you are doing' really branches out and there are a lot of things going on. Really recommended, Summit!”

"My favorite part of (Summit) is the balance between speed and safety. It's a game that allows for some really great moments...and I like that there are different approaches to victory.”

"Best in Show for Gen Con 2017... we believe this game to be fun with a high production value and a beautiful artistic direction with the ability to teach anyone ... a system that is not so much left to chance as it is to Mother Nature.”

Highly thematic and strategically deep without being overwhelming!

There is a small error on the insert key, on the side of the box bottom. In an earlier insert design we had troughs for the commoners as well. They proved to be too fiddly, and less useful so they were removed. Unfortunately this slipped by our review before the games were published.
The image to the left is an updated key, in which “E” and “F” have been fixed.
Sorry for any confusion, and luckily it will not affect your game play!

With another game design nearing completion, and more in the works, we look forward to growing and provided you with countless hours of fun, spending time with those that matter!
