Product Description Venice, 1400's: You are a young merchant trying to make your name in a city of vibrant commerce. Trade in spices, silks, gems, iron and grain can bring great wealth. You will buy goods as they enter the city docks and then sell them to the shops who need them. Increase your profits by buying shares of the shops who use the goods you trade in. Fulfill orders from the Guild Hall craftsmen to gain prestige. But this is a city rife with fickle demand and politics. Spend your ducats wisely and look for help from powerful people such as the Guildmaster, the Harbormaster, or perhaps the Tax Collector or a Thief. Even the Gondolieri have powerful connections here. In the end, the most important thing to remember is simple buy low and sell high. For only those who amass the most gold and prestige can truly be the Masters of Venice.

I bought this game due to the really great price. But shipping was also top speed. Game was sealed and shipped, also in great condition. Great experience all around.This game comes off the shelf often at game nights and continues to do so long after the new factor has worn off. If you like economic games this one is on the heavy side but makes for a very satisfying win every time. About medium difficulty to learn for experienced gamers.This is a fun game, though it's a bit complicated. Still, one play through should be enough to get the mechanics and basic strategy down. Plan on spending at least 30 minutes to set it up the first time. After that it should be easier. I am not expert yet in the strategy, but it appears that there should be more than one way to win. I would recommend you read the scoring breakdown and order of play at the back of the manual first, and then read the rest of the manual. Also, note that you get a lot of nicely made components for the price. That's a minor selling point, but I found the game pleasant to look at. The board is a little small, but it doesn't really need to be any bigger, because of how the gameplay works. I think this game is worth a try if you have one or more family or friends that are "serious" or "semi-serious" gamers.
