Leonardo da Vinci is a “gamers’
game” for 2-5 players by
Acchittocca (a team
of Italian game designers). It’s a game where you buy resources to create
your brilliant inventions in your laboratories. The game revolves around an
innovative process where you deploy the same pawns to power your laboratory
as to collect the necessary materials, taking turns committing the pawns at
the beginning of each round.

Europe, about
400 CE. Harsh customs rule the day. Five courageous tribes have set out to
conquer new lands: the Huns, the Langobardens, the Goths, the Anglo Saxons,
and the Vandals. As you seek new settlement areas for your tribe, you'll
strengthen it by enlarging clans, establishing or conquering new countries,
and building a powerful sea presence. Whoever scores the most points will
stand far ahead of others on the tribe leader path and win the game.

| The flow of the game is driven by cards on the one hand (expanding, attacking) and by the movement of figures on the boards on the other (hiking, sailing). The player whose turn it is carries out the following actions in any sequence: expanding, attacking, hiking, sailing. Whoever occupies the final field in a country founds that country and receives points. There are further points in three large tribe evaluations during the game for the largest tribes, control of the seas, and control of the countries. | |||||||||||||||||
