Apistocracy

You are invited to the card rooms, tea rooms and ballrooms of Victorian London, where titled hosts guide your debut during the 1851 social season. Across four weeks, place workers, build influential connections and earn invitations to coveted events. Commission portraits, gather valuable cards in the ballroom, uncover secrets in the tea room and prepare for a final Whist-inspired trick-taking game in the parlor. The player with the most Victoria points becomes the season’s favorite.
