GAME SUMMARY
Venice, also referred to as the Serenissima or "the most venerable," flourished during the late Middle Ages as a magnificent merchant capital. Here, the noble families vied for political dominance, each attempting to gain control and influence. As heads of these influential families, the players aim to build grand structures and palaces along the renowned Grand Canal, with the ultimate goal of reaching the highest political position in Venice: the Doge.

In the board game Doge, you experience the luxurious society of Venice, in which your goal is to support the development of the city while vying for political power and status. Success at the game is achieved by outsmarting opponents because they utilize their abilities and resources to alter the fate of the city and move upward through the ranks. Attainment of the much sought-after title of Doge is the ultimate prize, reflecting the highest degree of power in the Venetian republic.

Doge is a slyly difficult and mentally demanding board game where you and your friends must outwit each other in a struggle for political dominance. Doge is designed to challenge you to be more critically thinking and more carefully weigh your decisions, and every choice you make must be backed by sound thought and good reason. Gather your friends, step into the arena of Venetian politics, and challenge yourself to determine if you can become Doge on the throne in this fascinating game.
