Description
Medici is a classic game that's all about strategy and a little bit of luck, first published back in 1981 by designers Jim Sheets and Carl A. Smith, Jr. With incredibly simple rules that can be explained in no time, it's easy to dive right in and start playing, even if you're new to board games. In Medici, you'll be rolling dice and navigating a simulation of Renaissance-era trade, which might sound dry but is actually really engaging. The game also features variable phase order, which keeps things interesting and unpredictable, and while it's categorized as a wargame and has elements of miniatures and book-themed gameplay, don't let that intimidate you - it's still a pretty accessible experience. You can play solo or with a friend, and while the playtime is technically zero minutes, in reality you can expect to spend a fun and challenging hour or so navigating the world of Medici.
