About the game
What you do in a play session
In Triumvirate, you and an opponent battle for control of Rome in a fast-paced card game full of bluffing. Mixing trick-taking with commodity speculation, each match is a duel of steel nerves. You'll need to carefully manage your hand, deciding when to go all-in on battles or save cards for decisive moments in the Senate. The core game is already a tactical challenge, but if you want to (mostly) eliminate luck, try the open drafting variant. The game comes in multiple languages, even Classical Latin — because nothing says 'I will destroy you' quite like a Latin phrase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Can you play with more than 2?
Nope, it's tailor-made for duels. Even the theme is about power struggles between two.
What's the draft version like?
Removes almost all luck after initial deal. You pick cards you want, but opponents see everything.
Do I need to know Latin?
Not at all! There's a Portuguese version and the game doesn't rely on card text.
Is it hard to learn?
Trick-taking veterans will get it fast. Newbies might struggle with bluffing layers.
Worth it if I hate bluffing?
It's core to the game. If you despise bluffing, better skip this one.
