Hi everyone!

I’ve partnered with Board&Dice to celebrate the pre-order launch of Maestro — a strategy game set in the Renaissance, where players compete as influential patrons shaping art, culture, and legacy.

In Maestro Michelangelo and da Vinci’s workshops compete for fame and aristocratic attention in various courts and galleries across the Italian peninsula. During the game, the two workshops are either represented by a single player or a team of players. If you enjoy euro-style games with strong themes and meaningful decisions, this is one to check out.

To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away 1 copy of Maestro 🎉

How to enter:

What’s a board game theme that you can not get enough of? What's your favorite game in that theme?

As a historian, mine is definitely medieval history, and my favourite is Tiletum! Curious to hear what stands out from the crowd - art, history, nature, sci-fi or event abstract.

Prize:

• 1× Maestro by Board&Dice

Shipping:

• Worldwide (excluding very remote regions and countries at war)
