Virtu: The Art of Governing

It's a time of upheaval, when the Middle Ages end and modernity is born. For those in the government, the situation is ripe for action. Your city must maintain its standing, and you, as its prince, must make this happen.

Virtù models the art of governing, using an original mechanism that then deploys from your player board. Your tactical options are laid out in the form of a wheel of cards, which you can evolve according to your objectives. Send troops or assign agents, and the villages will change hands. But other strategic dimensions must be considered: Artists, merchants, or diplomats could also work to increase your prestige.

Decide and act with just the right amount of ingenuity and audacity, and you will become the Master of Italy!
