  1. 5 out of 10

    Language independent symbols makes first few plays very annoying and lengthy. The game itself is your basic point salad. Nothing innovative. Maybe the Dice powered variable power of workers could be considered highlight and kind of original. I grew old of this kind of games and dont consider them worth the effort. But if this is your jam, ad a star or two to my rating.

    Ganas de jugar más, porque la 1a partida me dejó encantado! Al nivel brutal de euros como el Tzolkin.

  3. 8 out of 10

    7+ plays / 2,3,4 players LIKE: A very tense, resource optimization game. The engine building is nice, too. The dice add a fun round-to-round twist that all the players have to cope with, and this can keep each round feeling fresh. I like the big turn opportunities, combining with leader special powers, quite satisfying. DISLIKE: Turn order can really shut a player out. The two player game can can be a bit vicious as there are only two spots available for running the engine-cards. Two player becomes a fight for first in turn-- not fun. With the special power cards, I'm not sure they are equally balanced, but that is why drafting is done for the cards. The game is pretty themeless. OVERALL: Great game. Played a major rule wrong on our first play, but I enjoyed it. Second play had much more tension in it because the religion track, which adds penalties, played a bigger role. Third play really started to click. The biggest drawback is that this game is the common, themeless, medieval resource-conversion engine that is seen often in euro-gaming. It is done well, and the sum of the whole of these parts is a fantastic, tight game. Promos: 1

Lorenzo de’ Medici, also known as "Lorenzo il Magnifico" (Lorenzo the Magnificent), was one of the most powerful and enthusiastic patrons of the Italian Renaissance.

In Lorenzo il Magnifico, each player takes the role of the head of a noble family in a city during the Italian Renaissance to gain more prestige and fame — that is, victory points (VP) — than anyone else. To do so, you send your family members to different areas of town, where they can obtain many achievements. In one location, they get useful resources; in another development cards that represent newly conquered territories, sponsored buildings, influenced characters, or encouraged ventures; and somewhere else they activate the effects of their cards.

Family members are not identical. At the beginning of each round, you roll three dice to determine their value. You must choose carefully where to send your most valuable family members…

You can gain VP in several ways, and you must also pay attention to your relations with the Church. The game is divided into three periods, each formed by two rounds; at the end of each period, players must show their faith, and whoever hasn’t prayed enough will suffer hard penalties. After six rounds, you calculate your final score, and the player with the most VP wins.
