In Autumn, cards are replenished and the cycle begins again. When the last Cathedral piece is built, the game ends. The Cathedral pieces are worth more in the later stages. The game design and theme are very well integrated. The artwork is designed to look Medieval.
Game play is also very well balanced.
An excellent game of trading and collecting goods. You each represent a merchant trader for a house of Renaissance Italy. Over three days, you attempt to fill your hold with the best goods available that day.
