What are games set in the Renaissance?
Renaissance games are games that took place between the end of the 14th century (when the Renaissance began in Italy) and around the 16th century. At that time, firearms, for example, were rarely if ever found on the battlefield.
Other historical games
Most games set during the Renaissance are also considered wargame- but not necessarily the case.
