About the game

What is Masters of Venice

From the back of the box:

Venice, the 1400's. You are a young merchant trying to make your name in this legendary port of vibrant commerce. Trade in spices, silks, gems, iron, and grain can bring great wealth... if you can bend the market to your will. Buy goods as they enter the city docks and sell them to the tradesmen who need them. Increase your profits by buying shares of the shops that use the goods in which you trade. Gain gold and prestige by fulfilling the orders of the Guild Hall craftsmen.

But Venice is a city of fickle demands and mercurial politics. Spend your ducats wisely and look for help from powerful people such as the Guildmaster, the Harbormaster, the Tax Collector... or perhaps a Thief. Even the humble Gondolieri have powerful connections in Venice. In the end, the most important thing to remember is the simple rule of commerce... buy low and sell high! Only those with the most gold and the highest prestige can truly become... Masters of Venice!

Un juego económico sobre comerciantes de Venecia. Los componentes están bastante bien, aunque yo encontré alguna inconsistencia, el tablero central podía ser un poco mas grande y las fuentes escogidas para los tableros eran demasiado artísticas y poco legibles. El juego recompensa la planificación cuidadosa y ofrece a los jugadores una miríada de opciones. Uno de los problema del juego versa en la cantidad de administración que uno debe realizar en cada una de las acciones, mover peones por los tableros de acciones y recolocar peones y marcadores, algo muy de juego de ordenador. Lo que arrui
