Description
In Res Publica you are the will of the people, guiding five ancient civilizations to greater heights of power and technology.
Each turn, the active player makes a trade offer... and each player in turn responds in kind. Using the cards and the information gained through the trading process, players work to acquire five identical people cards in order to build a city (which increases the number of cards you can draw each turn) or five identical technology cards in order to build a monument (which garners end game victory points).
At the end of the game, players total the points achieved via cities and monuments and the one who has the most wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- Secrets. This is a Bruno Faidutti Eric Lang game. It's kind of like a social deduction game where each It has some of these nice poker chips. You're on different things, taking things. It works well. It's not great, but I think it was a solid little game.
- Tapple's one of these games that I'm always I'm It's just It still sold very well. It's mass market, but it works incredibly well.
- I just really didn't like it at all. And I like Isle of Cats. I think it's fun. I didn't I this was a great follow up.
- Wow, I love the look of this game. So many neat things you're going through and as the the the character here and just rolling dice up, it's just very lucky. It's a big choose your own adventure game that's very lucky. I wish I liked it more.
- FunkoVerse Strategy Game. Eight out of 10 for me. I really like the FunkoVerse Strategy Game.
- This is basically just giant sandworms coming and you're jumping cars and shooting them. It has all the silliness of the series of movies and I think it's it's one of those movies that could have been an IP, but but isn't.
- Manhattan Project 2. No, I thought the newest one was okay. But this one I actively disliked.
- Curse Court's a great game. I've played Curse Court I think two or three times this year already, which is a lot considering I have to I play lots of new games.
- Well, it's kind of weird. I I mean, on one hand, my favorite is Curse Court, the one I just mentioned. But, also Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moonstones is a pretty fantastic kids game. So, I have a lot of respect for that.
