Conclave: Pope Simulator
Rule the Vatican Conclave
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rule the conclave, balance Faithful, Curia, Treasury and Tradition, and shape a papacy where every swipe can echo for years. How long will your reign last?
Take the throne and begin your pontificate in Conclave, a fictional swipe-based strategy game where every decision can change the course of your reign.
Each card presents a dilemma. Swipe left or right to choose your response, then live with the consequences. Keep four forces in balance — the Faithful, the Curia, the Treasury and Tradition. Let any one of them fall too low or rise too high, and your reign may come to an abrupt end.
But not every consequence arrives immediately. Decisions can unlock story chains that return years later, forcing you to face the results of choices you thought were long behind you.
FEATURES
• Simple swipe decisions with strategic consequences
• Four competing meters to balance
• Hidden effects that keep every choice uncertain
• Story chains shaped by earlier decisions
• Multiple endings, including legacy endings for long reigns
• Codex with discovered endings, lifetime statistics and unlockable characters
• Daily Conclave: a shared seeded challenge with the same setup for everyone that day
• Counsel to reveal a card’s exact effects
• One second chance per regular reign
• Share your final reign and challenge others
• Sound, haptics and atmospheric presentation
• English interface options
How will history remember your pontificate — as a reformer, a traditionalist, a survivor, or something else entirely?
Your reign begins with a single swipe.
