Pax Renaissance (Deluxe Edition) with metal coins

This set includes the Pax Renaissance Metal Coins pack

• 33 metal florin coins and
• 4 plastic gem tokens (for the 5-florin value).

A time when European nobility and warlords declined and the arts and technology advanced in the wake of a new economic force: merchants and bankers. These bankers became the wealthiest private individuals ever as they guided Europe into the modern age.

As one of these Renaissance bankers, you will sponsor voyages of discoveries, instigate wars and rebellions, unleash Jihads and inquisitions. Your decisions will raise and topple kings, build and reshape empires, and finally shape the very future of western society. Will you lend it towards imperialism, trade globalization, religious totalitarianism or enlightenment through art and science. It's your move...

In Pax Renaissance, you have two actions each turn. As in other Pax games, you can acquire cards in a market, sell them out of the game, or play them into your tableau. You can also stimulate the economy by running trade fairs and trading voyages for Oriental goods. A map of Europe with trade routes from Portugal to Crimea is included, and discovering new trade routes can radically alter the importance and wealth of empires, ten of which are in the game.

Note: This is the 2nd Edition (2020) and includes the Metal Coin set (comprises 33 metal florin coins and 4 plastic gem tokens).
