An Assasin's Creed-esque Braunstein game

As a Braunstein, players play the role of characters and entities


within the setting (city in Italy). Player's goals depend on their role
and their own interests. All existing roles are known to players, but
which player (if any) is controlling them remains hidden. Players must
choose between playing Persons of Import (PoIs) or an Assasin's Guild
(AG).

Person of Import
A Person of Import is a character that has a varying degree of
influence in the city, through wealth, political power, reputation,
etc. PoIs are pregenerated with a description, background, assets,
motivations and goals. PoIs use their resources to further their goals.
However, a PoI controlled by a player will become involved with the
underworld, where Assasin Guilds may be willing to assist, for a price.

Assasin's Guild
These mysterious, anonymous organizations control a network of highly
skilled Assasins. Playing an AG will allow players to control each
Assasin in the guild in parallel. AGs are not pregenerated and do not
have a predetermined set of goals. AGs can become more powerful by
expanding the amount of Assasins controlled and leveling them up. This
can be achieved by gaining Notoriety from completing Bounties.

Bounties
These contracts are put out by PoI players and are carried out by AG
players. Bounties contain an objective, such as assasinating another
PoI, and a reward in the form of money. When a player puts out a
Bounty, it is visible only to AG players, and the PoI who put it up
only to the AGs that accepted it. There may be multiple AG players
accepting the same bounty, and this will not be known to them. The
reward goes to the AG player who completes the objective first, and
all others will have their Notoriety penalized.

Money
Florins, the currency of the game, is used by PoI players to invest in
Industries, influence others and pay AG players. Money cannot be spent
by AG players. Instead, money gained from completing a Bounty will
grant the AG player Notoriety for 1:1 ratio. Money influx comes mainly
from Industries and Taxation, and PoI players may be able to exploit
these channels.

Industries
These are classes of economic activity within the city that generate
money. PoI players may invest their money into an Industry and receive
a share of the total revenue based on their investment in relation to
that of other PoIs. Taking an investment out of an Industry can be done
at a significant loss. There are a limited number of Industries, which
indclude Catering, Finance, Manufacturing, Production, Real Estate.

Government
The political system of the setting is that of a republic. The
Government is the most powerful entity as they control the guards and
law. Those with Political Power influence descisions of the Government.
The Government can make motions that have an impact on players that
relate to subjects such as taxation, policing, investigation and law.
