Il Principe

 

Each player leads a family in Renaissance Italy and tries to build the most magnificent buildings in town and to represent the family in culture, religion, politics, nobility and trade as well as gaining influence in regions and cities. Each round has four phases: In Phase 1 building cards are drawn and placed, in Phase 2 placed building cards are auctioned, in phase 3 each player can build a city or play cards from his hands. In Phase 4 each player places all role cards on the board, they are distributed by colour sequence among players with building majorities. Victory points are scored for city building, main and sub role cards and sets of building cards as well as for money and majorities in coat of arms markers in regions. The player with the highest total of victory points wins the game.
