"As head of your family you must decide which of the major powers you will ally with and make sure the right side wins each war, (even if that means you deliberately lose the battle!). Use the fortune you gain from fighting to employ some of the most famous artists of all time to glorify your achievements. The game includes many persons from the period; Ludovico Sforza, Leonardo da Vinci, Lorenzo Medici, Venetian merchants and the infamous Cesare Borgia, (plus sister).

Princes of the Renaissance is suitable for the more experienced gamer, ideally over the age of 13. Between 3 and 6 players can enjoy the game, which should take between 2 and 3 hours to complete.

A full-color map shows the five major powers of the period and their present status. How well they do in war will determine whether their status rises or falls.

Each of the 5 major cities has 6 tiles associated with it, most of which represent a famous personality from that city. As the game progresses you will end up buying some of these tiles, which will also give you special advantages, such as Roderigo Borgia who increases your influence within the Vatican, while Lorenzo Medici will allow you to veto wars.

Buy troop tiles to strengthen your army. Do you want to charge the enemy with heavy cavalry or dig in behind field fortifications and hope your opponent goes away?

Treachery tiles add the Machiavellian touch no Renaissance game can be without. Bribe your enemies' forces, steal their influence and upset their well-laid plans."
