Lorenzo de' Medici was one of the most influential figures in history. Not only was he a shrewd diplomat and politician during the perilous age of the Italian Renaissance, but he was also a passionate patron of the artists and poets who raised the glory and reputation of the Italians to the pinnacle. In this game, players try to achieve the same fame and prestige, becoming the most powerful and respected citizen of Florence.

Lorenzo il Magnifico is a complex strategy game that does not depend on luck. Players place their family members in different areas of the city to perform actions, but these family members are never the same as they change their value each turn. They conquer new territories, support amazing buildings, encourage brave entrepreneurs and surround themselves with important characters. If they are smart and powerful enough, they can attract the most famous contemporary celebrities and use their ability.

The expanded edition includes the Renaissance Houses and the Pazzi Conspiracy add-ons.
