How to play

How to play?

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.

    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.
