Ausonia Fan Site

In a magically altered 17th century, the Italian lands that survived the Witchplague are now called Ausonia, and powerful houses of nobles rule over them.

Each player is the leader of one of these houses and with the help of supporters and magical gemstones tries to become the next ruler of the city-states.

Each player starts with the basic cards of their house, which they can add to throughout the game. In addition to acquiring newer, stronger cards, players will also need to gather gemstones to activate them. …

Follow the Basic Rules, but with the following changes.

Each round you are the starting player, and the Aspirant plays after you.

During the Aspirant's turn, there are 2 to 3 stages. During the 1st, it takes the leftmost card in the Offer Row. The resource cost of the favor Card triggers the Aspirant's abilities. Resolve each gem in the cost separately.

In the 2nd stage, read the text on the Aspirant's card to determine if the Aspirant can keep the taken favor Card or must put it into its Discard Pile face up. If kept, put the card beside the Aspirant Card. …
