Emissary is what I would call a finished prototype. It is currently being looked at by a publisher.
Overview
In Emissary, you take on the role of an international agent. Accepting missions as you please, you travel about via various methods of transport. Your primary objective is to safely carry precious antiquities around the Mediterranean. There are political powers to help or hinder you, and bonus points available for delivering the majority of each antiquity. You have to be quick, and make the most of every opportunity. When your reputation is on the line, you have to deliver.

Fresh from the printers! This is the copy I will be sending off to the publishers. I am very happy with how this prototype turned out.

This is the final design for Emissary.

  The first Emissary prototype

This was the first printed prototype. As you can see, the cards are way too bright. There is no score track or "delivered antiquities tracks" down the bottom left.
