Medici vs Strozzi
A two-player distillation of Knizia's Medici, dueling over goods auctions to load the most profitable ships.
Who it's for
Couples and duos who love clean, mathy auction games and want the Medici tension tuned for two.
Not for you if…
You want multiplayer or a theme-rich experience, or dislike pure value-judgment auctions. It is abstract and dry, and copies are scarce.
Vibe's take
Crisp and calculating, a tight bidding duel where you weigh each lot against your cargo space, budget and one sharp opponent.
