About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of 'Lorenzo il Magnifico' and are looking for a little extra spice for your games, 'New Leaders' is a small but impactful addition. Initially released as an exclusive giveaway at the 2016 Essen Spiel fair, this mini-expansion brings two new and charismatic Leaders to your game: the Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio and the astute thinker Niccolò Machiavelli.
These new characters integrate seamlessly with the worker placement and variable player powers mechanics of the base game, offering new strategies and paths to victory. Each leader possesses a unique ability that can change the course of your game, forcing you to rethink your tactics and adapt to new possibilities.
It's important to note that if you purchased the 'New Edition' of 'Lorenzo il Magnifico', this promo is already included in the box, so you don't need to worry about finding it separately. But for those who own the original version, 'New Leaders' is a simple and effective way to expand replayability and diversity of choices, maintaining the strategic essence we love so much in the game. A small card, but with great potential to enrich your sessions in Renaissance Florence!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
What does 'Lorenzo il Magnifico: New Leaders' add to the base game?
This mini-expansion introduces two new Leaders, Raffaello Sanzio and Niccolò Machiavelli, each with unique abilities that offer new strategic options and vary the gameplay experience.
Do I need the 'Lorenzo il Magnifico' base game to play 'New Leaders'?
Yes, 'New Leaders' is an expansion and requires the 'Lorenzo il Magnifico' base game to be played. It does not function as a standalone game.
Is this expansion compatible with all editions of 'Lorenzo il Magnifico'?
Yes, it is compatible with all editions. However, the 'New Edition' of 'Lorenzo il Magnifico' already includes these Leaders, so you will only need it if you have the original version of the game.
What is the impact of the new leaders on gameplay?
The new leaders add more asymmetry and strategic variety. Their unique abilities can influence your worker placement choices and long-term planning, making games more dynamic and unpredictable.
How many players and what is the game duration with this expansion?
As it is a card expansion, it does not change the number of players (2-4) or the game duration (60-120 minutes) of the base game. It merely adds strategic options.
Is this a complex expansion to learn?
Not at all! It only adds two Leader cards with their respective abilities. The overall complexity of the game (weight 2.5/5) remains the same, making it very easy to integrate these new elements.
