In Florenza, the players are the heads of
the most powerful families in Florenza during the Renaissance period.
The goal of the game is to become the most famous patron of the arts by
hiring the most famous artists of the period and financing their works.
Each player can commission artworks in his own district, the
Cathedral, or in the civic buildings of the city.
Each artwork requires
money and resources to complete.
To earn the money and resources the
artists need, the players send their workers to labor in various
workshops, possibly even in their opponents’ districts. Additional
workers can be earned by offering charity to the church.
During the
game, players will earn prestige points, primarily by completing
artworks. Prestige points can be spent during the game, but at the end
of the game they will be the player’s primary source of victory points.
