The beautiful streets of 17th Century Florence are alive with opportunity! Step into the shoes of a merchant buyer in the profitable age of the infamous Medici family. Will you outbid the other merchants and get the commodities you need? Or will you lose all your money in the quest for power?
Each day, you’ll go to the wholesale market, where the highest-quality wares await a keen eye and a competitive bid—the finest cloth, exotic spices, grain from fields abroad, colorful dyes, lush furs, and rarely, gold from mines far across the waters. Medici takes place over three days (rounds). Taking on the role of seafaring traders, you’ll present goods to be auctioned and bid to fill your ships with cargo. When the day ends, you’ll receive coin for your wars. But be careful—the money you’ll use to bid is also your end-game points!
