Florenza: The Card Game

War and Religion

Florence - Renaissance - Family - Sponsors - Works of Art! Those are all terms that everyone associates with Florence and which are very nicely implemented and interpreted in this card game.

In Florenza the Card Game, the card version of the board game Florenza, you play five rounds with four phases each: 1) draw artists and monuments; 2) draw Florenza cards; 3) take four or more actions, and 4) end of round. Option for actions are: Complete monument or reserve monument or artist; activate location card, send out workers, visit the market or search for inspiration. Costs for cards you played are paid for with goods. At the end of the round you get money and three goods, and the captain of the next round is determined - he is starting player and administrates all actions.

The expansion War and Religion introduces the components for a fifth and sixth player for Florenza: The Card Game. This is supplemented by revised cards for “Capitano del Popolo” and “Famiglia”, which replace the cars from the base game. The rules of the base game apply to the new purple buildings Taverna and one new Palagio. This expansion also introduces cities that are hostile towards Florence - Siena, Pisa and Lucca, as well a new Guild cards and two new types of cards: Clerics - Abbot and Bishop - allow more actions and Mercenaries enable you to raid hostile cities for resources or money.

War and Religion provides an attractive, well-working extension despite offering only a small number of cards; the additional money and resources come in handy and if you like Florenza The Card Game, you should acquire the extension, if you have enough players for it.
