RECREATE ITALY’S SOCIAL REVOLUTION (1861 - 1945)

As a powerful leader during Italy's tumultuous social revolution (1861-1946) wisely choose leaders, causes, and adapt to your opponent's tactics to win. Support Italy's King, Pope, and Prime Minister to gain control of a newly unified Italy. Devise clever strategies for creating your political, economic, and military power base. Grow your power by adding cities and their resources, appointing political leaders, and leading military attacks.

BUT BEWARE!

Enemies may implement their own military, political, or economic strategies to exploit your weaknesses. Allies may turn into enemies, deposing your leaders, instigating revolts in your cities, taking your income and might.

Kingdom of Italy realistically reenacts the turmoil and tactics from Italy’s past - bringing a totally new level of competitiveness to card games. Diplomacy, risk-taking, military planning, deception, and a sudden turn of fortune are all viable approaches for gaining the upper hand.

COURSE OF PLAY

Players seek to become the dominant faction in Italian politics and society through building and managing a tableau of allied Cities with attached Leaders, Military Forces, Spies, and Resources, represented by cards. Players are each dealt a hand of cards and take turns playing Cities and attaching other cards to them as allowed, drawing additional cards at the end of each turn. Players can potentially switch Cities' alliances through the influence of Leaders or seize them by force through military campaigns resolved through a combination of card and dice play. The game ends once all cards are drawn. The winner is determined based on total points scored in their tableau with different cards having different values.
