Title:
Renaissance Wars
Description:
A game filled with intriguing history and magnificent art! Take on the role of a Renaissance Luminary, battle opponents, and accumulate the wealth and power to dominate each Era of the game! In the game of Renaissance Wars, you must quickly adapt to changing circumstances and events, using only the cards in your hand and the powers of your chosen Luminary. But be careful...when you least expect it, an Intrusion may occur that completely upsets the balance of power and may destroy even the most carefully laid plans!
BGG:
It was a time of wealth and intrigue. A turbulent time, when wars were fought over religion and territory. A time when artists, architects and writers explored the nature and potential of man and a time when horizons were broadened so far, that a whole new world was discovered!
In Renaissance Wars you play the game as a Renaissance Luminary... someone whose influence and fame has transcended his own time! Using only your unique Luminary powers, the cards in your hand and cunning strategy, you will battle up to 3 opponents to accumulate the wealth and power necessary to dominate each era of the game.
The base game contains 6 playable Luminaries - William Shakespeare, Martin Luther, Fillipo Brunelleschi, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Christopher Columbus and Francis Bacon - all of which come with their own unique Luminary Mats, cards and portaits. Up to 6 more Luminaries will be available in Special Editions.
Unique Event and Intrusion cards are randomly seeded into the game during set-up, so you never know exactly what you may encounter!
Featuring beautiful art and history, Renaissance Wars explores the people and events that made the Renaissance one of most interesting, creative and important historical eras.
A complete game of Renaissance Wars consists of three to four rounds that span over four different ERAS. Each round consists of two phases:
ENCOUNTER PHASE: During this phase you play cards and use your Luminary powers to win skirmishes, create card combinations to earn Florins, and deal with all the things fate may throw your way!
BATTLE PHASE: This phase plays quickly, requiring a more tactical strategy when playing your cards. It is entirely possible, with thoughtful hand management, to win a round in the Battle phase, even when you haven’t accumulated many Florins during the Encounter phase!
Scoring and winning the game:
After each round is completed, players add up the Florins they have won throughout the Encounter and Battle phases and make a deposit into the Medici Vault.
A new Era is triggered when the deposits of one or more players exceed 400 Florins, causing new Immediate Event and Intrusion cards to be seeded into the play deck.
The first player to deposit 1647 Florins into the vault wins!
