📖 About This Game
In this card game, you are an apprentice of Leonardo Da Vinci's workshop, trying to master different arts (Painting, Architecture, Literature, Biology, Physics, Engineering) to attract the interest of the city patrons.
It's a quick german-style game, where different paths lead to victory: you can spread your knowledge on every topic or focus on a few, work a lot on smaller projects or patiently create huge masterpieces.
Every turn you must play a card, activating one of these four actions: Study (increase your level on an art), Practice (further deepen your knowledge of an art), take a precious Advice (bonus) from Leonardo or Work for a patron. Collect your best set of actions to win the game, and beware: your fatigue increases every time you Work, and the most tired player always plays last!
