The Pope has died, and the Church falls into your hands—well, the hands of the Sacred College of Cardinals. You and around 120 other electors, all under the age of 80, are locked inside the Sistine Chapel for the Conclave, a secretive ritual to elect the next pope. No messages in or out. No outside influence. Just prayer, tradition, and politics.
Each day, you cast ballots—once on Day 1, then twice daily. Nine cardinals are randomly chosen to manage the vote: scrutineers, collectors for the sick, and revisers to double-check the count. The ballot bears the words Eligo in Summum Pontificem. You write a name, swear an oath, and place your vote in a chalice.
The votes are counted. If no one gets two-thirds, the ballots are burned—black smoke rises. If someone does, white smoke signals the world: a new pope has been chosen.
Power is within reach. Will you guide the Church—or seize the throne yourself?
