What this is
In The Princes of Florence, players attract artisans and scholars to their palazzo by building and landscaping. If a player satisfies the minimum requirement of work points, which increases each round, then the work can be created and the player can then trade the work points for cash and/or victory points. Each player is given a palace grid and reference chart and attempts to gain the most victory points after seven rounds.
