Hey board game fans! Ready for a trip back to Ancient Rome, where the gods not only send greetings but also lend a hand (or not!) in political intrigues? In "Loyalty: Rome," you step into the shoes of Senators aiming to win the favor of the gods to climb the social and political ladder. Each turn presents a strategic choice: to which of the six available gods will you send your Messenger? The available actions are tempting, but beware! Your rivals might just follow your lead and use the same deity for their own gains. It's a game of influence and anticipation, where every move can open doors or close paths. When your Messengers return to you, either due to lack of space in the divine temples or a strategic maneuver, you can gain gold and prestige points. And the ultimate glory? Having the majority influence with a god at the start of your turn! This grants you their favor token, worth points at the end of the game, and makes room for a new god to enter the fray. Brace yourselves for an environment of pure discord, envy, and master plays. Who will be the most cunning Senator, master divine influence, and accumulate the most Prestige Points to become the most powerful in Rome? "Loyalty: Rome" promises a fierce competition full of twists and turns!
