Description

Lords of the Renaissance is a game that drops you into the end of the Dark Ages, where you'll start as a Merchant Prince of a European Duchy. You'll operate a bank or merchant company, speculating in the lucrative silk trade, and also act as a military or financial adviser to one of the great empires. As you navigate the complex web of trade and politics, you'll have to make tough decisions about conquest, shipbuilding, and the construction of grand cathedrals and libraries. With its unique blend of economic and political gameplay, Lords of the Renaissance offers plenty of opportunities for Machiavellian intrigue and strategy. You'll need to establish trade routes, pay tributes, and fight to protect your monopolies, all while shifting allegiances and conspiring to become emperor yourself. With support for 2 to 12 players and a playtime of 300 minutes, this game is perfect for groups of friends or experienced gamers looking for a challenging and immersive experience.
