About the game
Magistratus gives each player a special ability that he/she has throughout the current game. Before the beginning of the game, shuffle all the cards and hand out two to each player. Each player should keep one, the other one goes back to the game box. Choose a side on the selected card and place it in front of you, next to your player board. Proceed with the game setup as described in the rulebook.
