Epic political manoeuvreings as players struggle to replace the Emperor through military might, backstabbing, appeasing the proles, and the rest.
- The User namespace prevents the print-link in the box to the right from parsing correctly. Correct link is here.
- Check here for only the cards that are new or changed from the original deck.
Changes
- Consolidated Victories into one spot. (Cosmetic only.)
- Doubled up on A Visit to the Oracle, If it Worked Once, Orgy, and No, I'm Spartacus. (Accelerate drawing.)
- Nerfed Poisoner. (Enhance life expectancy of Persons.)
- Eliminated Secret Republican. (Simplify life.)
- Added Master Architect. (Symmetry with "Champion Gladiator.")
- Doubled the number of each of the following: Bread and Circuses, Public Works, Corrupt Senator, Emperor's Favor, Campaign. (Make game winnable.)
