Pax Renaissance: 2nd Edition^*

Players assume the role of bankers in late 15th and early 16th century Europe during the height of the Renaissance. They can finance kings or republics, sponsor explorations, join secret cabals, or unleash jihad and Inquisition, impacting whether Europe advances into modernity or remains in dark feudalism. New components enhance the gameplay, and additional cards allow for more flexibility in setup, making it easier to transport.
