Description
Medici: The Board Game
Experience the elegance and tension of Renaissance Florence with Medici: The Board Game, a reimagined version of Knizia’s celebrated auction game. Players assume the role of ambitious merchants, attending bustling markets to bid on exotic goods such as spices, furs, dyes, and grains. But beware—the florins you spend in the market are also your final victory points, making risk assessment critical.
Over three intense rounds—representing days of trading—you’ll present commodities for auction and strategically bid to fill your ship mats. As the day ends, payouts are made based on cargo value and your position on the five separate commodity tracks. The richest merchant at the end of the third day becomes the master of the Medici trade empire. With enhanced visuals, accessible rules, and rich strategic depth, Medici serves as a timeless gateway into economic bidding mechanics and Euro-style gameplay.
