	Machiavelli is a game made up of fudal states and is
	played much like Diplomacy but with some weird twists
	that atempt to simulate the confused state in Italy
	during this time period.

	The game plays with from 2 to six players.  But as
	usual the more the merrier.  Players can fight
	conventional battles, ingage in bribry or assasination
	attempts.  The victory conditions center on
	acquiring land on the boot of Italy.

	Not too bad.  If your really into political games its
	great fun.  I'm not yet I have played it a couple
	times and generally enjoyed myself.

	(not really a review more opinion then anything)
