Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Senatus is a strategy card game set in the heart of the Roman Republic. You aren't fighting with swords, but with rhetoric and political maneuvering. Every match is a high-stakes debate where you must sway the majority of the Senate to your side.
The Senate floor is a 5x5 grid. Each card represents your political influence, featuring specific directions of attack and defense. When you place a card, its "influence arrows" can convert surrounding rival cards to your color, potentially triggering a chain reaction across the entire chamber.
You begin as a common Senator. As you win debates, your Relevance grows.
Aedile
Tribune
Praetor
Consul
Be careful: political life is volatile. If your Relevance hits zero, your career ends in obscurity.
Between sessions, you have 7 days to prepare for the next vote. Walk through the Roman Forum, visit the Temple of Jupiter, or scout the Campus Martius to find new allies and stronger cards. You’ll always know the next debate topic in advance, so use your time to build a deck that counters your rivals' agendas.

Reviews
I really wanted to like Senatus. Ancient Rome, rhetoric, political debate, cards and strategy are all things that interest me, so on paper this game should have been a very easy recommendation for me. The debate system is the strongest part. Placing cards, looking at attack directions and trying to create chains can be fun, and I think there is a good idea at the centre of the game. My problem is everything around it. Too much of the deckbuilding depends on random rolls. You can learn where certain card colours are available, but you still have very little control over which useful cards you actually get. If you need one colour for several debates, preparation can quickly turn into visiting the same place again and again, rolling, collecting a card and hoping for something good. The frustrating part is that this did not only bother me when I had bad luck. I also had periods where I rolled well, collected strong Gold and Diamond cards and won debates quite easily. It still did not feel very rewarding, because I did not feel that I had built that strength through enough meaningful choices. There are several systems here that could be much more interesting: Prestige, character differences, card progression, political choices and the map itself. I kept thinking about ways these ideas could be expanded, which is probably the biggest sign of both the potential and the problem. For me, Senatus currently feels more like a promising game concept or prototype than a finished strategy game. The price is not the issue. It is a cheap game. I simply expected more from such a strong concept. There is something here, and I hope the game grows into it. But in its current form, I can't recommend it.

Si te gustan los juegos de cartas como el Tetra Master de FFIX, ambientación romana y un pixel art precioso, este es tu juego. Engancha desde el primer minuto, por el precio que tiene ni te lo pienses. Trabajazo!
Senatus is cool strategy game, you must travel Rome to gather followers to use in your debates, I wished there was a more in depth tutorial, but it's not really a complicated game to understand.
Gran homenaje al juego de cartas de Final Fantasy IX con temática de ser un senador romano. Debatir, influir en las votaciones y ascender hasta Cónsul engancha muchísimo. Lo recomiendo.
This is a fun little game reminiscent of the card games of the Final Fantasy series. Instead of collecting creature cards, though, you're winning Senators to your cause and enticing them to speak on your behalf on the debate stage. Cards apply minor buffs to you or nerfs to your opponent and can be chained together. In between debates, you take your chances in various locations to acquire cards and buffs for the next debate. The mechanics are simple to understand but by no means an auto-win once you understand the strategy. I love the music, and the pixel art is quite charming. Enjoy! : )
Fun Short Game worth the price I pay for it at 10% Discount. With a few rough edges that can be overlooked [b]Long Live The Roman Republic[/b]
Loved the demo, I was really hyped to try this little gem of a game. The card battles are fun, but the events have the kind of historical spice I appreciate a lot, you can tell that the devs are true romaboos. For this price is a no brainer, hope it gets discovered by some more people and become popular.
How many years of waiting? Do you remember Quo Vadis, the superlative Reiner Knizia game? Reskinned as Zoo Vadis (Ridiculous). Senatus isn't that - However it does focus, not on a faction, but you as an individual, on the Cursus Honorum. Do you remember Republic of Rome? An ex- of mine called it the 'monastic game', due to my pouring hours into it (to the exclusion of all else. or Her). Senatus isn't that - However it does cover all of the same ideas, whilst allowing you to save and come back later. To the satisfaction of all. Do you remember Pax Romana? Not the Anno franchise, but the first real attempt at making a RoR video game. Senatus isn't that - but it is a streamlined version of the same concepts: prepare for the Curiia, by visiting various locations to obtain benefits (The Temple, The Tavern, The Brothel). And so much more accessible. Do you remember Republic, the Revolution? Nothing to do with Rome (set in Novistrana, an imaginary post-Soviet country). Developed by Demis Hassabis (Time's person of the year 2025 was AI. But nine people are named as the architects - Hassabis is one of them). RtR had the most innovative 'debating' mini-game ever seen. Senatus isn't that - However the debating system is a unique, tactical, battlefield, that turns words into (physically) well positioned arguments. Genius. Do you remember all these classic games, and wish that there was a modern (video) equivalent? Sentaus IS that game.
the basic idea of the game was really attractive (deck builder and politics yay), but i found the game way too simple, almost no content and quite repetitive
Quick fun little game. It certainly needs a better tutorial, but the devs have been very quick to fix bugs and are responsive so this has a bright future!
