Senatus CD Key

Senatus

Enter the most intense debates of Ancient Rome. Senatus is a strategy and card game set in the heart of the Roman Senate, where rhetoric, cunning, and planning mean everything. Your goal: influence the votes, climb the political hierarchy, and become Consul of Rome.

Master the Art of Debate

Each match represents a senatorial debate in which you must sway the majority of senators to vote for or against a specific decision. The color of the decision (Blue, Red, Green, or Yellow) sets the tone, and your cards determine how the Senate will lean by the end of the session. Play your cards on a 5×5 board, use influence arrows to convert rival cards, and unleash the unique abilities of each card type to impose your political will.

Cards feature colors, directional arrows, and stats for Attack (Oratory) and Defense (Prestige. When two cards clash, the more influential one converts its rival’s color, potentially triggering chain reactions across the board. After all cards have been played, the Senate votes: the winner is the one who controls the majority of the board with their target color.

Build Your Legacy in Rome

Between debates you’ll have 15 days to explore iconic landmarks—the Campus Martius, the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, the Roman Forum—and seek new cards and allies. You always know the topic of the next debate in advance, allowing you to plan which cards and colors you’ll need to succeed.

Rise Through the Political Ranks

Your career is tracked by a Relevance Meter (0–10). Each victory advances you toward power; each defeat pushes you toward obscurity. Ranks and rewards:

• 0–2: Senator — no bonuses.
• 2–4: Aedile — gain a bronze card.
• 4–6: Tribune of the Plebs — gain a silver card.
• 6–8: Praetor — gain a gold card.
• 8–10: Consul — unlock diamond cards.

If your Relevance drops to 0, you’ll lose your seat and your political career will end.

Ever-Challenging Debates

As you rise, opponents grow tougher, debates intensify, and rewards become more valuable. To advance to each new rank, you must face a special “boss debate” against a powerful political rival who will test your deck, your strategy, and your mastery of persuasion.
