Acquire paints, books, and historical monuments to earn honor and bonuses. Invite renowned historical figures to support their strategy. Construct new ships to have more workers and take more actions. The game ends after four rounds, and the player with the most points wins. This new edition of Amalfi includes new mechanisms (you can now build lighthouses on the map); new characters including new illustrations with si new asymmetrical decks; and rebalanced artworks, charts, decrees, and titles to offer more choices and more replayability, all in a new box with a double-layered main board and individual player boards.
