You have biggest plans. Your city will be the most beautiful, biggest and most magical city ever! But you're not the only one with ambitions. Intrigue reigns supreme and none of your opponents can really be trusted. That's why you enlist characters such as the King, the Assassin or the Merchantess. Each turn, one of the characters goes to work for you and performs special actions. But who chooses which characters? And how do you outwit everyone?
In Machiavelli, you must erect buildings by paying for them with coins. The more expensive the building, the more points it will yield at the end of the game. To help you, you may choose from different characters at the beginning of a round. For example, the King always lets you choose a character first, the Assassin eliminates other characters, and the Merchantess makes sure you get extra money. After each round, the characters are redistributed so that another player can become King, for example.
Machiavelli has been a popular game for years thanks to the strong interaction between players. Those who cleverly assess who chooses which characters can thus manipulate the entire game. Although you only use eight characters per game, this edition contains no less than 27 different characters. So you can vary a lot!
