About the Game

The cardinals are gathering in the Vatican to elect a new pope. There are five candidates with a chance at the throne, but naturally, only one of them will become the head of the Catholic Church. However, it is a long road until the white smoke rises. Acting as éminences grises behind the scenes, the players try to shape events to their own advantage. They lobby and intrigue to ensure that the cardinal they support is ultimately elected pope. As the rounds pass and the votes take place, fewer and fewer names remain in the running. Nevertheless, even the eliminated cardinals can still influence the course of events. But when the white smoke finally rises, all questions disappear. It will be revealed which player played their cards best and who managed to gain the most trust from the newly elected pope during the conclave. That player will be the true winner of the Conclave!
