Donning the Purple

Description
This game is currently on Kickstarter, please support the official release: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/332396604/donning-the-purple

---------------
It is the year 193 AD. The Roman Empire is not as great as it once was. Hordes of enemies are crossing the borders, famine spreads throughout the provinces and the political intrigues are tearing the empire apart from within. The previous emperor was killed by his own Praetorian bodyguard and has left a power vacuum that the powerful families in Rome are trying to fill. Are you ready to don the purple yourself and take on the stressful job as emperor? If you fail, the other families are ready to take over at a moment's notice. While they wait for your doom, they won't hesitate to backstab or undermine you as much as they can. However you all have to work together as the fall of the Roman Empire is closing in.

Donning the Purple is an asymmetrical king of the hill game with a bit of worker placement. Each player leads a powerful family in ancient Rome, trying to get the most victory points during 4 rounds. If your family member becomes the emperor and manages to hold the position he can earn lots of points. However he will also become the target of the other players as they will try to dethrone him and become the new emperor themselves.

Players 1-3 Playtime 70-90 minutes

@packrat1984 - This was made with permission from the developer during their Kickstarter campaign as a way of giving backers a way of testing the game without access to a full print and play. So while it's outdated, and will remain so, it is approved by the team behind the game.

Is this considered an "Official/Approved" Mod? Just wondering so I can it to this list? https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/273528/official-or-approved-free-tabletop-simulator-modif

I've not gotten the chance to try this game out yet. If anyone wants to schedule a game, please post here or message me. :) Donning the Purple seems as if it'd be great fun!

Hi there. Donning the purple will come back to kickstarter in september for a reprint and an expansion. The reprint will be 100% the same as the original game. The expansion will include lots of cool!

The updated game here on TTS has some of the unlocked stretch goals from the original campaign. Some of the advanced stuff is not in the simulator.

@Paulyd83 - I don't have the full insight, myself. I think it's less of a 2nd edition and more of a modified reprint? You would assume that they would want a new batch of the base game produced for anybody who wants to grab the expansion but doesn't have the base yet.

As for this mod, it's complete to the best of my knowledge. With this whole KS not being a thing yet, anything could change prior to production. I'm sure the designer will let me know if anything needs to be changed though.

Also, I don't think they're coming out with a 2nd edition of the game so soon? From what I saw on their website, they're launching a Kickstarter campaign later this year for an expansion.

Wow, interesting news! That's something I need to pick up when they kickstart it. So is this version totally complete?

@Paulyd83 - Whoops, I forgot to update the changelog. Thanks for the heads up. At the request of the designer I have updated the game contents to be more in-line with the 2nd edition of the game which I believe they're gearing up a Kickstarter campaign for. The card decks, main board, player boards and game pieces have been updated.

@Arteus I see that the game was updated on April 4, just a few weeks ago. Do you know what exactly was updated?
