Virtú: A kormányzás művészete board game

Virtú: A kormányzás művészete is a board game for 2 to 5 players aged 14 and up, set in the Italian Renaissance. Each player leads one of the city-states and guides a prominent dynasty such as the Medici, the Sforza or the Borgia. Your aim is to expand your power and influence and become the master of Italy, with every decision carrying weight.

A game moves through two seasons. In spring you choose from six actions: govern, patronise, trade, annex, wage war and scheme, earning bonus points along the way. Winter brings payments, palace rearrangement, card purchases, recruiting armies and forming alliances. A typical game lasts around 30 minutes.

The box holds a double-sided map of Italy, five palace player boards, 57 tokens, 56 citizen cards, 15 family cards, 32 army figures and 45 florins. Two rulebooks cover the three to five player game and the two player game.
