QUO VADIS? english edition

Each player becomes the head of a powerful Roman family striving to gain as much political power and glory as possible. Senators of your faction occupy seats on the various committees. To advance, they must make deals and acquire votes from other factions or win Caesar's favor. As your members advance, they gain the laurels of high office and move closer to a seat in the Senate's Inner Sanctum. Your faction must advance at least one member into the Inner Sanctum and collect more laurels than any other faction to win the game. How will you guide your family to glory in the Senate? Will you use a charismatic approach or just make sensible deals? How will you handle the faction that resists your advancement? Wil you honor your long-term agreements...?
