The Renaissance was one of most fascinating, creative, and turbulent times in history. It saw the fracturing of a Church that had dominated society for hundreds of years, the discovery of a New World and the flowering of a sensibility in arts, and education that sought to explore the nature and potential of man. Take on the role of a Renaissance Luminary, battle opponents, and accumulate the wealth and power to dominate the Age in Renaissance Wars! In this cunning strategy game of culture, politics, religion, and economics during the Renaissance Era, you must quickly adapt to changing circumstances and events, using only the cards in your hand and the powers of your chosen Luminary (William Shakespeare, Martin Luther, Fillipo Brunelleschi, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Christopher Columbus, or Francis Bacon). But, be careful! When you least expect it, an Intrusion may occur that completely upsets the balance of power and may destroy even the most carefully laid plans!
