About Principato

From Finnish designer Touko Tahkokallio comes Principato, a tactical game for 2-4 players. Powerful principalities are forming in Northern Italy. When is the best moment to expand? When will harvesting be profitable? How much force will be necessary to defend the city walls? Only the player who can correctly judge the timing of such decisions will be successful in the end. At the beginning of the game, each player receives a small, unprotected principality.
