The Princes of Florence

Description

The Princes of Florence: The Muse and the Princess is an exciting expansion that breathes new life into the original game, designed by the renowned Wolfgang Kramer and Jens Christopher Ulrich. Released in 2009, this expansion is a must-have for fans of the base game, adding a fresh layer of strategy and depth to the gameplay. With the ability to play with 2 to 5 players, it's perfect for a fun night in with friends or a competitive match with fellow board game enthusiasts. The game's normal complexity makes it easy for seasoned players to pick up, and the 90-minute playtime flies by as you become immersed in the world of Renaissance-era Florence. At the heart of this expansion are the 6 special character cards, which introduce new abilities and challenges to the game. These characters can be bid on during a second auction phase, adding a new layer of excitement and unpredictability to the gameplay. The auction phase has been cleverly split into two phases, allowing players to first focus on the original auction, and then move on to bidding on the special characters. This mechanic, which combines auction and tile placement, requires players to think strategically and adapt to the changing circumstances of the game. As players navigate the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and artistic pursuits, the special characters can either make or break their chances of success. The best part is that you don't need to worry about tracking down a separate release of this expansion, as it's included in recent versions of the game and can also be found in the Treasure Chest of the Rio Grande version. With just 6 special character cards and a simple rule sheet, it's easy to integrate this expansion into your existing game, and the new mechanics will have you rediscovering the world of The Princes of Florence in no time. So why not gather your friends, get ready to bid, and see who will emerge as the ultimate Prince of Florence?
