Medici Traders

In 15th-century Florence, players acquire valuable goods and load them onto ships. Each round, players simultaneously draw up to three goods tiles onto a tray and place it in the center of the table. In turn order, players claim trays by adding florins, or outbid another player to take a claimed tray and return that player’s florins. Players place the goods on the current level of their ship, with special goods also fitting on the upper deck. After each of three days, players score the goods on that day’s ship level and receive points for having the most of each good across their ship. The player with the most florins at the end wins.
