A Thrilling Game Where You Can Impact The Course Of Art History. Check your balances of wool and linen. Will you sell them to the merchant from Milan or the one from Venice Oh, also, the church wants you to buy some of their overpriced alum. Do you accept These are the questions that ART Mecenas asks while you try to build your banking empire during the Italian renaissance. Develop your reputation as a banking boss and eliminate other competing families, and also, change the course of art history by choosing what works to commission, all within a turn based strategy game. You play as a member of the Medici family who is starting a bank in Florence. You can check the map to see your standing with other city state governments, and you can purchase items from the market to sell. Each turn, youll be presented with three messages, asking you to sell something, buy something, or commission an art piece. Occasionally, you will get special events that can significantly impact your reputation. You have to balance your relationship with merchants, various governments, and the Catholic Church in order to keep your business afloat. As you play the game, you need to watch your reputation level, which represents your standing in the community, and your soul level, which represents your piousness. If your reputation level depletes to 0, you will be exiled, and if your soul level depletes to 0, you will be excommunicated from the church so failure to maintain high levels of both means game over. This game definitely taught me more about economics and finances than it taught me about art history.
