Il Vecchio is set in the 15th century when Cosimo de
Medici also called Il Vecchio (the Elder) and his family ruled over
Tuscany and its capital Florence.
The players represent the heads of Florentine
families trying to rise their families to power.
To achieve this they send out their family members to
locations in Tuscany to perform various tasks specifically to recruit
followers (knights assassins abbots) and collect money as both are needed
to take control of provinces in neighboring regions; controlled provinces
provide power and a bonus action.
At the beginning of the game each player has four
family members in Tuscany.
Players take turns performing exactly one action.
Before his action a player may pay money to move one of his own family
members to another location.
Travel to another region and take over a province
which costs both followers and money.
Travel to Florence where you'll spend scrolls (and
possibly money) to claim a city council or nobility tile.
Introduce a new family member to the board. Raise all
lying family members on the board. The game ends when the Power of the
Medici has faded.
...can you be the one to cast the shadow over one of
the most powerful family of the days past???....
