Serenissima
Command a Mediterranean city-state, build galleys, and trade spice and gold while battling rivals for the richest routes.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy weightier economic games with pick-up-and-deliver trade, area movement, and a real risk of conflict on the map.
Not for you if…
You want something short or conflict-free. Two hours of shipping logistics with dice combat and dated pacing is a big ask for lighter groups.
Vibe's take
A meaty trading and shipping game where economic planning meets dice-driven naval conflict over contested sea lanes.
About this game
Set in the fourteenth-century Mediterranean, Serenissima puts you at the helm of a trade city like Venice or Genoa. You build galleys, hire crews, and sail the sea to buy and sell spice, gems, and gold, all while rival fleets contest the same lucrative routes. Building the richest, most influential trading empire is the goal, and blades may be drawn to protect it.
