Description
About
A pick-up-and-deliver eurogame for 2-4 players designed by Rudiger Dorn. The players represent the heads of Florentine families trying to rise their families to power. To achieve this, they send out their family members to locations in Tuscany to perform various tasks, specifically to recruit followers (knights, assassins, abbots) and collect money as both are needed to take control of provinces in neighboring regions; controlled provinces provide power and a bonus action. To complete these tasks, however, a proper middleman must be present at a location, and these middlemen travel a lot!

Notes
- (1) The meeples are stated! In this game, you will often "lay down" meeples - to achieve this, change a meeple follower to its second state, and stand it up again by changing it back.
- (2) The board is also stated. The game's board is double-sided but the only difference is 100% aesthetic; change states back and forth to see which you prefer!
- (3) All tiles/cards can be hovered over when they are face up to see what their effects are.

The scans on this one could be better but everything is totally playable.

This one is purely pick-up-and-deliver, Princes is all about the auctions, and Lorenzo is engine building worker placement - so there's room for all three, and still room left for Medici and Florenza and ...

Lorenzo is great though. Waiting for that expansion to drop.

Just received a hard copy of Lorenzo il Magnifico in the mail. Which "head of Renaissance patriarchal house" game is the best? There is also The Princes of Florence. I have a weak spot for this part of history, so I'm looking forward to checking this out. :)
