Four victories determine the future course of Western Society: will it be towards imperialism, trade globalization, religious totalitarianism, or enlightened art and science?
In Pax Renaissance, you buy cards from an eastern and a western market where the price will be influenced by what other players do. Play cards to your tableau to take action and place pieces on the map, but also to build your banking business and assert influence over the royal houses and republics of Europe. Take trade actions, wage war, and initiate revolts and unrest. Fund pirates, start crusades, make money and collect prestige. When a comet card is drawn the future of Europe is about to be decided. Make sure your vision of the future prevails.
ESTIMATED SHIPPING Q1,2026, changes in dates may occur.
Finance, Influence, and the Fate of Nations
Fund voyages, crown kings, and shape the future of Europe.
Looking for a Renaissance strategy board game where money controls the fate of empires? In Pax Renaissance, you are a powerful banker controlling the gears of empires during the 15th and 16th centuries. Every card you acquire can ignite religious wars, back pirates, or steer republics toward trade, conquest, or enlightenment.
Use tableau-building and market manipulation to dominate the map and history itself. This historical board game offers asymmetric strategies and deep replayability where vision, creativity and wealth, not armies, determines who will rule the Renaissance.
Why should you purchase Pax Renaissance?
• Play as a powerful banker: Influence kings, wars, and empires from behind the scenes
• Asymmetric paths to victory: Use religion, trade, conquest, or enlightenment to win
• Deep tableau-building and market manipulation: Every card changes the strategic landscape
• Rich historical immersion: Experience the Renaissance from the perspective of those who truly held the power
