Palatinus is a tile-laying game settled on the Seven Hills of Rome.

On a modular board changing at each game, players place their inhabitants (soldiers, merchants, farmers) trying to conquer the lands. Inhabitants interact between them and at the end of the game player will be awarded the control of one or more hills, or fame:

- soldiers capture revolting farmers
- merchants and farmers dominate the hills
- farmers only get great benefits from being placed near a water spring

The usefulness and power of each inhabitant is relative to the number and kind of the inhabitants surrounding him, with a simple and elegant mechanism, in the classic tradition of the so-called German games.
