## Description
If you enjoy playing with the mind of a conspirator and pulling the strings behind the throne, Dominare is the place for you. Set in the vibrant and dangerous metropolis of Tempest, this game puts you in the role of a puppet master leading a secret society. Forget public diplomacy; here, the real game happens in the shadows. Your goal is clear but the execution is complex: you must spread your influence through the city's most valuable districts to secure total control. 

The heart of your strategy lies in your agents. They aren't just pawns; they are unique individuals with specific abilities that you must position strategically. Through an open drafting process, you select your agents, but the fun doesn't stop there. Each turn, you reveal a new layer of your conspiracy, making your power network increasingly robust and dangerous. As you build your agent tableau, they become more powerful, allowing you to manipulate the board and resources with growing aggression. 

But beware: the politics of Tempest are relentless. If you fail to manage your agents well or miss your chance to control a crucial district, your conspiracy might simply vanish into the city's canals. It is a high-tension game where hand management and area control are vital to avoid being wiped off the map. If you enjoy medium-to-heavyweight strategy games with an engaging theme of political intrigue and economics, prepare your secret plans, because the battle for dominance in Tempest has begun!
