It's not that I think I have particularly formidable papal skills. Maybe I could have been a minor-league cardinal, if I happened to have the right parent. I do think there's a good computer game yet to be written around the historical Vatican. I can see the copy on the back of the box but I have no idea of the gameplay.
PONTIFEX "I would have made a good Pope." - Richard Nixon Challenge your wits against the great schemers of all time in this nerve-wracking new game from Firaxis. Appoint and dismiss bishops, snub kings, sponsor great artists and have brain-stretching theological arguments, all in the stunningly recreated setting of Renaissance Italy! Make your way from a newly appointed member of the College of Cardinals to the throne of the Holy See itself! Match wits with Machiavelli, the Borgias, Da Vinci and Galileo! Just remember: Excommunication is not a two way street.
