Quorum - A Non-Gamer's Review Of This "All Tracks Lead To Rome" Game

About Quorum, from BoardGameGeek:

The Roman Empire has spread over all the known world. Its civilization has expanded and is influential in all aspects of life, from trade and architecture to the power of its army and its political intrigues. The presence of the gods is made clear in the events of human lives. In Quorum, the players take on the role of Roman senators who share the power of Rome and its provinces with the aim of acquiring the greatest amount of influence possible. The goal is to be the most powerful and influential senator by gaining victory points, which are awarded in various areas of influence over the twelve rounds of the game. On their turn, players take and play a card in front of them to affect one of the provinces. The turns continue in this way until all the players have twelve cards in front of them. At the end of the game, the combination of cards played and the influence accumulated in each of the provinces will award players victory points, which will then decide who wins.
