Pax Renaissance*

As a banker of the Renaissance, you will finance kings or republics, sponsor voyages of discovery, join secret cabals, or unleash jihads and inquisitions. Your decisions will influence whether Europe advances into a bright modern age or remains trapped in dark feudalism.

In each round, you have two actions. You can acquire cards from a market, sell them, or play them to your tableau. Additionally, you can stimulate the economy through fairs and trade routes for exotic goods, impacting the significance and wealth of one of the ten empires in the game. Four victories will set the future direction of Western society: will it lean towards imperialism, global trade, religious totalitarianism, or enlightened art and science?
