The Conclave

Extra omnes · Everyone out

Only one of you leaves in white.

Every face in this conclave belongs to a historical pope. Choose any pontificate. Face five rivals. Trade favors, keep seals quiet, survive three scrutinies — a short novel of adult intrigue: faction deals, night visits, and choices that rewrite later pages.

Real popes. Fictional intrigue — ballots, moral fog, white smoke. 265 electors. 177 to win.
