At the height of the Renaissance, the Mediterranean
was alive with trading galleys exchanging prized goods between Europe,
Africa and the Far East. Vessels from the Baltic Sea brought lumber,
wool, iron, and hemp to the Mediterranean while ships from the Black Sea
delivered silk and spices from the Far East. At the centre of it all was
the port city of Venice, the "Queen of the Adriatic," where merchant
families earned fortunes from the trade.
As the head of a Venetian merchant family, you begin
the game with a few ships carrying trade goods. Using the trade income
from these ships, you sponsor local businesses that manufacture raw goods
into valuable luxury goods and sell them to local Aristocraticci
for wealth and favore. Compete against other families for raw
goods and prime Venetian real estate. Do you place your new draper
business in the draper quarter where it will be more profitable or beside
the Campo with the beautiful statue where it will earn your family
more prestige?

Garden Competition

Welcome to the Garden Competition where you
are a neighbourhood student hoping to win this year's garden competition.
Compete against the other players for limited flowers at the nursery and
the favour of your neighbours who will give out clippings of their flowers
to their favourite students.
Each player knows some of the flowers and
colours the garden judge is looking for, but no player knows all of
the flowers and colours the judge is looking for. Players try to guess
the parts they don't know by keeping an eye on what the other players are
planting. The judge also has some secret criteria that only she knows,
which players can learn about by taking her out for coffee.
