A blend between city-building games and games of guile like Diplomacy and Illuminati. There's no combat - player must win by smart management and sharp-witted negotiation, not by weapons. The game has a plot that unfolds in response to player actions, and when the story is over, the game ends. Available for download and a free trial period from eGenesis.
