Description
Lorenzo de' Medici, also known as "Lorenzo il Magnifico" (Lorenzo the Magnificent), was one of the most influential and enthusiastic patrons of the Italian Renaissance.In Lorenzo il Magnifico, each player takes on the role of the head of a noble family in a city during the Italian Renaissance, seeking to gain more prestige and fame – that is, victory points (VP) – than anyone else. To do this, you send your family members to different areas of the city, where they can achieve many things. In one location they gain useful resources; in another, development cards representing newly conquered territories, sponsored buildings, influenced characters or encouraged ventures; elsewhere they activate the effects of their cards.The family members are not equal. At the start of each round, you roll three dice to determine their value. You must carefully choose where to send your most valuable family members...You can gain VP in several ways, but you must also watch your relations with the Church. The game is divided into three periods, each consisting of two rounds; at the end of each third, players must show their faith, and those who haven't prayed enough will receive severe penalties. After six rounds, you calculate your final score and the player with the most VP wins.
