La Città

Against the background of the booming city states in renaissance Italy players develop their towns. They use agriculture, stone quarries and water to develop the castellos into cities, whereby the most important factor is a balance between population, resources and cultural development - only a city with market and well can sustain more than 8 citizens, but you also must have enough farms to feed them, and you must build schools, universities or churches to fulfill popular demand at the end of the round. If not, population will wander off to other cities, and unfed population will die. Thus the player must constantly decide his priorities, and after 6 rounds each citizens gains him 1 point, each city owned and equipped with culture, education and health will gain him 3 points, the player with the most points wins.
