Summary: Players find themselves as inventors trying to breathe life into their designs, all of which draw their inspiration from the notes of the master himself: the Codex Leicester of Leonardo da Vinci. Ranging from relatively simple to epic, all these inventions require materials and time to bring them to fruition. Of course, genius alone won't get the job done.

Hire apprentices straight out of the academy to nab highly coveted materials from the market before your rivals. Time is of the essence. Race to be the foremost in completing inventions. You will unlock rewards and special abilities if you are the first player to complete the inventions. Otherwise, you will get less rewards without special abilities. After 7 rounds, the player who has amassed the largest fortune will be awarded victory!
