Quite possibly my favorite game. The different aspects of the game and how you interact with other players is always a good time. Just remember, you really can't over pay for a jester early. 60 cards Game Plus sleeve size: Standard European (GPS96703, 50/pack) - (2-5/16â x 3-9/16" - 59 x 92mm)

The game I love that loves me back. I think there is still one more level of understanding that I am not quite on yet. Just a beautifully designed game that takes practice, patience, discipline, a little bluffing, an economic understanding, planning, tactical nuances, etc. Might I mention it also scales well. Although I don't think 5 players makes this game shine, I'm not going to turn down a 5 player game. My love for this game gets challenged by Caylus and others, many fantastic designs, but ultimately this wins because I prefer a game that is mostly strategic. It's just what I appreciate.
My very experienced gamehost said this was one of his all-time favorite games, and I see why. There was still a bit of a learning curve for me, but I can see all the replayability, and I came in 2nd of four, even though it was my first time playing. Would definitely play again!
Excellent and elegant strategy game with best auction implementation I have seen in strategy board games. Careful planning ahead and balanced play rewards you greatly and can lead to victory. Princes of Florence is a unique game, such auction and tile placement combination I haven't seen in any other board game. Works excellent with full amount of players - five players. With full amount of players recruiting cards raise in value much, however you still depend on your own plans. Much player interaction, much strategy decisions and I like the theme - renaissance works for nobles and art. Also this games looks great, but not exaggerated and overproduced as many other games today.
I learned this one for the first time on Wednesday, and we played two games in a row haha! Won the second one :D So many painful (in a good way) decisions to make, not a lot of gotcha moments, but enough of them to give the pvper in all of us a little glee! LOVE this game!

Description
Players attract artists and scholars trying to become the most prestigious family in Florence. Each player is given a palace grid and reference chart and attempts to gain the most victory points after seven rounds. Scoring victory points can be done in a variety of ways although most will be earned by playing profession cards to generate work points. There are a variety of professions such as astronomers, organists and architects. Each is attracted to a particular combination of building, landscape feature, and social freedom. The more the player can match these preferences then the more work points are generated. If a player satisfies the minimum requirement of work points, which increases each round, then the work can be created and the player can then trade the work points for cash and/or victory points.
