Heart of Africa

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.
Three
times during the game an important decision is made, and is usually
accompanied by a dramatic shift in power. It is hard to predict when
the emperor will ask advice, and which matter will take precedence.
Even worse: one of the four issues is never brought forward, increasing
uncertainty for all. Can you within the scope of the game, use your
powers to gain the edge and optimally profit from the whims of the
ambitious and the unpredictable Justinian?
