In Renaissance Florence you run a team of inventors racing to complete machines for the city's lords. Place your workers to gather resources and power your labs, but here you can outbid rivals for a spot by committing more workers. Balancing your workforce between grabbing materials and building inventions is the constant squeeze.
Who it's for
Worker-placement fans who want more contest over spaces than usual, plus efficient engine-tuning of a small workforce.
Not for you if…
You want light or short play, or dislike being blocked and outbid. At 90 minutes and higher complexity it asks for patient, thinky players.
Vibe's take
Dynamic and competitive: the bidding-to-jump-the-queue twist keeps worker placement tense, and your labor is always stretched too thin.
