Venezia

Get ready for a pigeon showdown in Venice! In Venezia, you and your friends take on the roles of pigeon clans vying for dominance in the city's districts. To expand your territory and secure the best roosting spots, your clans need to grow. The key to reproduction and influence lies in getting close to tourists in the famous Piazza San Marco. The central mechanic revolves around simultaneous action selection: each player secretly decides how many birds to send to the piazza, whether to use any special actions, and which three regions on the map to reinforce. Points are awarded for having the majority of pigeons in each district, so plan your moves carefully and anticipate your rivals' actions. It's a game that demands good planning and a keen eye for area control, all wrapped up in an unusual and charming theme. The interaction is direct but not overly aggressive, focusing on competition for spaces. Perfect for those who enjoy a game with accessible rules but interesting strategic decisions and a touch of unpredictability in the simultaneous action selection. If you like games with a light theme and influence mechanics, Venezia might be your next find!
