Description

Get ready to build your way to victory in Patrician: Towers of Influence, a game of area majority and influence set in 13th Century Italy. As a master builder, you'll take on commissions from wealthy Patrician families to construct magnificent towers that showcase their power and prosperity. The taller the tower, the more influential the family, and the more victory points you'll earn. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be building your way to success in no time, whether you're playing with 2 to 5 friends or trying to outdo the Architetto, a clever bot opponent, in a game that lasts around 20 to 50 minutes. As you play, you'll use Building cards to add floors to towers in different cities, and take special actions to help yourself or hinder your opponents. You'll also collect Patrician portrait card sets to earn extra points. With the optional Trade Routes and Delegates modules, you can add even more depth to the game and increase the decisions you need to make. Designed by Michael Schacht and published in 2024, Patrician: Towers of Influence is a delightful and engaging game that's perfect for fans of city building and medieval-themed games. With its simple rules and quick gameplay, it's a great choice for a fun and competitive game night with friends.
