Doge*

Three or four players strive to gain the most influence by building palaces in Venice. Influence tokens are secretly placed in districts and revealed in a specified order. The player with the most influence in a section can build the most houses and place the advisor for that section, who can then be used to gain additional influence in future voting. Players can exchange houses for palaces, and the one with 6, 7, or 8 palaces in 6, 5, or 4 districts wins.
