Gonzaga*

The Gonzaga family ruled over a part of Northern Italy for nearly five hundred years until they lost control to the Habsburgs in 1708. Players embrace the spirit of expansion by establishing fiefs across Europe, claiming ports and cities while attempting to fulfill secret missions. Each round involves drawing fief cards, selecting area and action cards, and strategically placing fiefs to earn points through occupied cities and connected ports. The game concludes after twelve rounds or when a specific trigger point is reached, with players tallying points based on their claimed objectives and connections.
