From the publisher (site: http://www.ddd-verlag.de ).

An innovative cardgame from Hanno and Wilfried Kuhn situated in Florenz - the cradle of the Renaissance. Artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and da Vinci worked in this city, the preacher Savonarola established a God state and Machiavelli wrote his works on the theory of power. Here the Medici prevailed and the city saw the birth of important discoverers such as Vespucci.

As the head of an influential European aristocracy you will try to lead your family to a cultural and power-political top. In the face of the historical events of this time you promote cultural achievements such as architecture and religion, financing, the sciences and naturally also the voyages of discovery. Surround yourself with the powerful ones of this time and use all your diplomacy skills to achieve a crucial advantage against your competitors. Only the player with the most influence stones will win the game ...
