   I play a lot of board games of all different kinds. I am always looking at new games, and there was a board game recommender website thing that I looked at. It asks what your three favorite games are, and when I answered that, it recommended Lorenzo il Magnifico. I looked into Lorenzo and it seemed interesting, I put in my next three favorite games into the recommender and it recommended Lorenzo again! I am not one to buy games I haven’t played, but I decided to take a chance on this one. Am I ever glad that I did! This has been my most played game since I got it (and I play A LOT of games). A lot of decisions to make (what cards to buy, what resources to get, do I worry about getting excommunicated, do I really need servants this round). A lot of fun! If I was a board game recommender website thing, I would probably recommend this for you too!

   Compré este juego por 28 usd, realmente una ganga. Un euro de peso medio muy disfrutable. La calidad de los componentes es buena. La mecánica principal es de colocación de trabajadores (dados con iguales valores para todos los jugadores). Creo que su rango de jugadores ideal está entre los 3 y 4 jugadores, sin embargo, también disfruto jugarlo a dos. Cuanto mayor es el número de jugadores mayor es la posibilidad de bloqueos y más apretado se siente el juego. La escuela italiana de diseño lo ha vuelto hacer. Gran juego!

   It took me a while to learn but I found this to be a fun and thinky worker placement game. There’s lots of paths to victory and you’ll end up dipping into each at least a little bit.

   As a long time tabletop gamer with a vast collection, I was excited to add another CMON quality game to my collection, but boy was I disappointed. The first thing I noticed was the thin, cheaply made punchboards. This surprised me from a company with always impeccable minis (See Massive Darkness for example). The next observation was the sub par wooden pieces as seen in my puctures. Not only was I short a “purple” meeple, but you can see the inconsistent coloring. The missing component made the game less playable (though I could sub parts from other games). Reaching out to CMON proved in vain and since this was a birthday gift, the return window closed before I could contact the seller. Overall, I was really looking forward to a game I had seen many reviews of, but alas it will simply gather dust until one day, I purchase my own replacement parts from elsewhere or 3d print my own. Update: After seeing this review, the seller reached out, offering to send me a second copy for just the cost of shipping. New copy was received this week. Components shown in the pics are far improved and though a final count is not done, I should be able to update this review soon!

   Euro medio, muy combero y sin dependencia del idioma, como buen euro de la escuela italiana no decepciona, muy bueno, lo compré en una oferta.

   This is a good game (although not the easiest to teach, and it can be a bit brutal) but the quality could have been better. The meeples aren’t quite uniformly colored and the cards and tokens leave a bit to be desired. But the gameplay is fun!

   Bought this for my partner for his birthday. I had to send the first one back because box was damaged but the replacement came right away. We are big board gamers with a lot of games. This is a fun euro style strategy game that has some similarities to Grand Austria Hotel, one of my favorite games. A mix of worker placement, dice rolling, multi-use cards and resource management. It’s fun and easy to get to the table. We play this mostly at 2 players but have played at 4 too. Would definitely recommend. The rulebook is good. You can learn the basic game and get going after setting up pretty fast. I always recommend watching how-to-play videos if you seem confused by the rulebook. Sometimes they just make it seem more confusing than it is. The only negative I would say about the rulebook is that it is separated into sections by the main game and each expansion. This is only an issue when you start playing the game and need to look up what certain cards do. Instead of the card explanations being in one section, you have to flip around to the different sections. However, once you’re familiar with the iconography then you’ll be fine. We ended up using the BGG app for the card reference so we could just type in the card number and it pops right up. This way we didn’t have to pass the rulebook back and forth.

   This game plays really well and doesn’t take too much time to learn. The dice-worker placement is a great take on playing with dice.

    Has good replay value. Worker placement is probably my favorite game mechanism. On top 100 of BGG. Nice set up for 2 player game. 3.28 rating for complexity (out of 5.0 points). Arrived in perfect condition. Consider Targi (2 player, I LOVE this game ), Everdell, Lords of Waterdeep, Agricola, Kingsburg 2nd edition, Keyflower, Le Havre, Caverna, Marco Polo, and any Western Kingdom trilogy(all three are winners) board games for worker placement mechanism.

    Le pongo cuatro estrellas solo porque tuve que comprar el juego 3 veces hasta que por fin la tercera vez no tuve ningún problema con los componentes. La primera vez que lo compré, una carta de líder venía en blanco y la segunda vez venía repetida una lámina de losetas y faltaba otra.
    En cuanto al juego, es un excelente euro con mecánicas sencillas pero con mucha estrategia.

    Lorenzo is a great game. I played it for free on Yucata.de and it holds up even after 20+ online plays. I am pretty sure my gaming group will love it. The wife really likes it too. There is a lot going on in the game but its plays smoothly.

    Me gustó mucho el arte y su dinámica del juego. Lo compré a un súper precio 500 pesos.
