{"product_id":"lorenzo-il-magnifico","title":"Lorenzo il Magnifico","description":"\u003cp\u003eLorenzo Il Magnifico combines clever worker placement with engine building set in the Italian Renaissance. Each player has four wooden cylinders three in their colour and one in plain wood. These represent your family members and three of them are tied to one of the three dice. The dice are rolled at the start of the round and give your family members their base value for the round. This value dictating where they can be placed on the board. To use some spaces requires a value of more than six, so you will need to use your resources to manipulate your dice to use them. The majority of spaces will let you buy or claim a card in one of three colours, two of these sets form the engines you will build and hopefully run, and the other two provide upgrades and scoring opportunities. Like one of the designers previous games, Grand Austria Hotel, the game will punish you for not gaining points on one of its tracks. In this case it's the Pope you need to please as, at the end of every two rounds, if you have reached a certain number on the papal track or if you choose not to you will take an often crippling downgrade for the rest of the game. Over the course of it's six rounds Lorenzo gives you tough choices and decisions. You will need resources and coins to gain cards and to gain resources you will need cards in your engine. Each of these cards can only be activated by a family member who is worth a shown value, so having an engine of all five cards might be great for it's rewards, but you won't see them that often. Then there is fighting for position and spaces on the board with the other players. You might really need a card but if you haven't planned well enough you then you risk losing it all. Lorenzo is genuinely one of my favourite board games of all time. I love the crunchy decisions, clever use of dice and the satisfying engine building. It is a bit more complex than some games but that also brings a richness that can be enjoyed over and over again.
