What to Expect
You play Roman senators building influence across provinces by taking and playing cards face-up over twelve rounds. Each player ends up with a tableau of played cards; combinations of those cards and accumulated provincial influence score victory points at game end. The game mixes open card play with tactical decisions about which cards to keep or play.
Who Is This Game For?
Quorum targets enthusiasts and experienced family players: the 14+ age recommendation and a 45-minute playtime indicate moderate complexity. Players who enjoy Hand Management and Set Collection will appreciate its focus; complete novices should allow time for the first game.
How It Works
On your turn you take a card and play it face-up in front of you to affect a province; this repeats until each player has twelve cards played. Core mechanics are Hand Management when choosing cards and Set Collection when forming combinations that grant points. End Game Bonuses determine much of the final scoring based on played card combinations and provincial influence.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Raul Franco Jiménez and Fran Martínez Rosa, Quorum situates itself in the 'Ancient: Rome' family and uses End Game Bonuses to tie thematic influence-building to final scoring. The open tableau over twelve rounds creates visible long-term planning.
