No VP. It's a race. One player wins by buying an army and placing it in the camp outside the city.
First part will feel like a tableaux builder. Drafting and buying specialists to help you get ahead. No direct PvP.
In the second part punishment will be brutal, perhaps even random. Oh Fortuna!

Offerings: You get a target number for resources that the group must sacrifice. Then you negotiate openly until the group either pays the needed amount or cannot or will not. When you fail you turn over a volcano card which is either a resource penalty that hits all -- or an eruption.

Second part of the game starts when one player builds Foro Pompeii. This opens the game for luxury goods and city cards. City cards boosts advanced buildings plus some backstabery stuff.
Also, here you start doing offerings to appease the gods at the end of each round.
