Move Over Niccolò!
In “Il Vecchio”, players represent power-hungry Italian merchant families wishing to bring down the old bastard Cosimo de’ Medici (i.e. Cosimo the Elder, or “il vecchio”) and rise in his place as de facto rulers of Florence. They do this by sending their family members to various backwater towns to gather agents, intelligence, and money, with which to take control of Florence and its neighbors piece by piece.

The Audacity of Friese
Friedmann Friese is a German designer best known for designing the widely heralded Power Grid. He is also well known for his comically outlandish ego, an almost Colbertesque mockery of designers with genuine narcissism. His latest game, Copycat, has his picture on the front in the Shepard Fairey style made famous in those Obama “Hope” posters. The theme is loosely based on running a political campaign, and the front of the game board even co-opts an Obama slogan: “Yes we play!”
