Prototyping has started

Next step in the development of Patrimonium Imperii - the Board Game that also will offer a campaign layer to your favourite tactical wargame - has finally started; prototyping to be able to do the first playtest is now under way. At this moment a lot of the art work is still placeholders and the size can and will be adjusted to get the optimla game set up layout.

All Character Cards of a player arranged in the way they will be laid out - on the respective Court and Diocese Boards of course, but none the less - this will be the ultimate goal to achieve for a player.

You won't be playing in an environment of old roman ruins when the game is released - but it's a nice background when play testing ;-)

Influence Patrimonium Imperii is a game where you can’t earn any money, but you compete with your opponents by achieving as high a reputation and influence as possible. This is a measurement of how important you’re regarded and will be the determining factor when the Imperial Council settles for a new ruler of the empire. During game play you will gather influence – but you will also have to use your influence to make things happen – and to be able to gather even more influence.
