Quick Overview

The energetic emperor Justinian I ruled Byzantium from 527 to 565. His great ambition was to unite the Roman Empire. He succeeded at great military and financial cost. Justinian gained further fame with beautiful buildings such as the Hagia Sophia. His acclaimed Codex Justinianus was a milestone in the history of law. In Justinian, the players secretly influence the emperor's counselors, so that the counselors will serve the player's cause when Justinian makes important decisions.


Intrigue at the Emperor's Court

In Justinian players compete for the sympathy of emperor Justinian I. To reach their goals and strengthen their position at his imperial court, they invest in Justinian’s counselors by pushing them up the ladder of popularity, or down when they are not serving the player’s needs. There are four combinations of counselors that may be valued during the game. At the end of each round one of these combinations is the basis for scoring. The higher the reputation of a counselor, the more victory points a player may get. Watch out though: in the game only three out of four issues are counted!
