About the game
It might seem like you're just playing cards, but in OMNIA, you're diving into the brilliant mind of Leonardo da Vinci! This card game transports you to the Italian Renaissance, where you'll collect artworks, inventions, and even mingle with historical figures of the era. It's a quick affair: 6 rounds to show who knows more about art and science.

At the start, things get interesting with an open draft: you build your strategic hand while observing what others are picking. Each round is an optimization challenge: you play an action card that allows you to do up to two things, like grabbing a City card to advance on your journey, snatching an Artwork or Invention, or securing some coins. The goal? Fulfill the game's objectives, which change each time you play.

This is a game that fits in your pocket and your schedule, ideal for those who enjoy a quick, thematic challenge. If you like games with great art, a historical touch, and mechanics that make you think without overwhelming you, OMNIA might become your new favorite. Prepare for a duel of Renaissance intellect and see if you can outsmart your rivals in the art of collecting Da Vinci's legacy. It's a swift journey, but full of discoveries!
