Welcome to the Victorian London social season! You are invited to make your debut at the behest of your titled host.
Gain introductions in the ballroom, commission art in the gallery, learn secrets in the tea room and play whist in the parlor. Earn the most admiration and you shall triumph as the season favorite. Apistocracy is an asymmetric, worker placement board game for 1 to 4 players that takes place over four weeks of the London social season culminating with a trick-taking game of whist in the parlor.
Players are able to curate their starting deck for better influence during the season and a better whist hand for the final phase. After the final whist phase the player with the most “Victoria points” is named the season favorite and wins the game of Apistocracy.
