Mille Fiori. DEVIR

The production of Venetian glass is one of the best-kept secrets of the lagoon. For centuries, the technique has been passed down and perfected from generation to generation within the guild families. Now it’s your turn to shine in the art and trade of glass. Learn the secrets of your craft and develop your commercial network to gain the support of the citizens of the lagoon. You’ll need to combine bold strategy with smart tactics to amass your fortune using the “mille fiori” technique. Mille fiori is a game by the prestigious and prolific designer Reiner Knizia, author of many titles including My City, The Lord of the Rings, and Explorers. Illustrated by Stephan Lorenz and Marina González, it offers sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up. In Mille fiori, players take on the role of a glass artisan and trader, aiming to score more points than the others. With beautifully crafted tokens recreating Venetian cut-colored glass and attractive illustrations, Mille fiori stands out for its stunning game presentation. The central board is divided into several areas where players can place their tokens: workshops, residences, the port, the trade section, and the citizen area. Each area has its own symbols; for example, the workshop contains different materials for making glass, and the city area includes different types of citizens. On each turn, players must choose a card and place one of their tokens on a board location matching the symbol on the card. This is an important decision! Depending on where tokens are placed, bonuses in the form of points or extra actions are activated. The game rewards players who manage to collect different sets of symbols, but the needed cards don’t always appear at the right moment. Besides planning your own moves, in Mille fiori you must also consider where opponents might place their tokens. Each turn, the deck rotates among players, so in addition to choosing your next move, you must consider the options you leave for others. This strategic element keeps the tension high as points accumulate and the endgame approaches. The game ends when a player runs out of tokens or the deck is depleted. With a medium level of difficulty, Mille fiori is ideal for any gaming group. The beauty of its illustrations and components will captivate lovers of aesthetics, while its smooth mechanics engage serious gamers. Whether you seek a challenge or a pleasant afternoon with family and friends, Mille fiori adapts to your needs. Make history and become the most famous glassmaker of the Venetian lagoon!
