Lorenzo il Magnifico: Houses of Renaissance – New Avenues to Prestige

During the Renaissance, merchant families were quickly growing in power and prestige. These large houses competed with one-another to prove that they were the greatest. The competitions could get fierce, with the various family members rushing all over the city, looking to complete tasks that would bring honor to their name. In Lorenzo il Magnifico up to four families struggled to be the most famous and prestigeous in the city. Of course, along the way, the Church, that ancient institution, continued to require deference be paid to it.

In the Houses of Renaissance expansion for Lorenzo il Magnifico, players gain a new family member to help out with their tasks around the city, new specializations for their family, as well as lots of new opportunities to expand their influence. Almost every aspect of the original game has some new options or changes, from the Family tiles to the different Towers, to new Special Development cards, and the option to add a fifth player to the game.
