Lorenzo de' Medici, also known as "Lorenzo il Magnifico" (Lorenzo the Magnificent), was one of the most powerful and enthusiastic patrons of the Italian Renaissance.

In Lorenzo il Magnifico, each player takes the role of a head of a noble family in a city during the Italian renaissance. You try to accumulate prestige and fame to gain more victory points (VP) than the others. To do so, you send your family members to different areas of town, where they can obtain many achievements. In one location they get useful resources, in another development cards (which represent newly conquered territories, sponsored buildings, influenced characters, or encouraged ventures), somewhere else they activate the effects of their cards.

Family members are not identical. At the beginning of each round, you roll three dice to determine the family members' value. You must carefully choose where to send your family members with a higher value...

You can gain VP several ways, and you must also pay attention to your relations with the Church. The game is divided into three periods, each formed by two rounds; at the end of each period, players must show their faith, and whoever hasn't prayed enough will suffer hard penalties.

After six rounds, you calculate your final scoring, and the player with the most VP wins.

Really tight engine builder

Really tight but equally rewarding. You will feel the pressure but also the rush. In that sense I think the theme actually really comes across.

Great engine builder

A phenomenal engine builder with a neat theme. My girlfriend and I got this after watching 'Medici The Magnificent' (highly recommend if you haven't seen it) but the game works great and if you know the history its even better!

Awesome game

This is an engine building game with combo elements, pick up on card that lets you do something else. I love that combo effect and stringing a few moves together can feel so satisfying. The rules are quite simple but the game offers to much depth and strategy. The expantion adds even more variability to an already great game. This is a permanent stay in my collection.
