Condottiere
In 13th-century Renaissance Italy, players embody powerful Condottiere, mercenary leaders vying to conquer four connected provinces amidst the wealthy but militarily weak city-states like Venice, Florence, and Genoa. This is achieved through a unique auction/bidding system where players bid cards representing mercenaries and political figures, but critically, every bidder loses their troops in a strategic "loss of bid" mechanism, spiced up by special effect cards.
