After the success of Florenza, Placentia Games introduces its sequel: Florenza: The Card Game,
a standalone game in which players are once again the heads of the most
important families of Florence during the Renaissance. As in the
original game, players try to hire the best artists to embellish the
monuments of the city, but they can also build workshops and houses or
join guilds to strengthen their power and have more resources and money
to manage.
Players gather the needed money and resources from central or
district workshops. To build district buildings (cards in hand) or
embellish city monuments (cards in play), they need to have these
resources and hire one of the available artists. Other cards in hand
represent personal district buildings, houses, workshops and
corporations (which points during final scoring or benefits during the
game).
Florenza: The Card Game – War and Religion Expansion adds two new kinds of cards to Florenza: The Card Game:
- Clergy cards allow you to perform more actions in the game.
- Mercenaries give you the possibility of raiding hostile cities — Lucca, Siena and Pisa — to obtain resources or money.
The expansion also allows for games with up to six players.
