About the game

What you do in a play session

In 'Die Säulen von Venedig', you and your friends will relive the construction of the iconic city of Venice by placing wooden pillars on the board representing the city's lagoon. Each player marks their pillars with tokens of their color and builds buildings and squares to earn victory points. Strategy comes into play when you build on other players' pillars, earning points for them as well. The action unfolds through cards representing different Venetian characters, each with unique abilities. Each round, players choose an action card without revealing it, and then all are played simultaneously. The game ends when all 60 pillars are placed, and the player with the most points wins. With high-quality components and engaging mechanics, this game is a rich and fun experience for 2 to 6 players.
