This is a card game that's masquerading as a board game, with a large deck of oblong cards and a fairly simple map of provinces in Renaissance Italy. The object of the game is to acquire four connected provinces. Game play is fairly simple as players use numbered cards to get the highest bid for a given territory. However, several special effect cards shake the contests up and keep the players guessing. There's a new edition for this game which was released recently. The newer, streamlined version has a much smaller box, slightly tweaked rules and a lower price.
