Santa Paravia and Fiumaccio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Santa Paravia and Fiumaccio' is a game in which each player becomes the ruler of a fledgling Italian city-state around the year 1400. The goal of the game is to become king; to do so you must manage your city-state so that it may grow.
The game consists of yearly turns; each turn involves the allocation of grain and funds, attempting to grow your colony in both population and size. A ruler must ensure that sufficient grain supplies are available to feed his people; by distributing excess grain, a ruler can encourage more citizens to move into his city-state. However, often famine and rats cause your grain reserves to diminish.
Funds can be spent to purchase more land, military forces, or various types of structures. These structures include revenue producing mills and markets as well as prestigious palaces and cathedrals.
