Venice in its heyday. A few aristocratic families rule the High Council with the Doge as their President. One more family will now be accepted onto the council. A mighty political battle begins. There are relentless attacks in the struggle for power in the separate quarters of the city; clever transferrals and momentous banishments are the order of the day.
You will represent one of the families
vying for election. You must use any and all means at your disposal to win
the favor of the Doge. Gain the highest esteem and you will be the winner!
