The Renaissance has ignited a golden age of
creativity and fierce competition.
From the art-filled streets of Florence to the opulent courts of Milan and Rome, your workshop will craft masterpieces, shape cultural trends, and win the favor of powerful aristocrats.
Maestro is a competitive game between two Workshops: Leonardo da Vinci’s and Michelangelo’s.
Each Workshop can be controlled by either one player or a team of two, with slight rule differences depending on the setup.
Each player may only interact with their own Artwork. The workshop differences are:
- Michelangelo’s Workshop:
The active player can interact only with Busts or Statues.
Which type depends on the Character indicated by the Tools tile on the Sideboard.
- Da Vinci’s Workshop:
There is only one type of Artwork: Paintings.
A key objective is to have the majority of your Artwork in regions with Galleries. During the game, Galleries across the map of Italy change in popularity.
Victory Points depend on:
- Whether the Gallery is Popular or Secondary.
- The level of Collectors’ Influence.
A game of Maestro is played over 4 rounds, each divided into five phases resolved in order:
- Planning Phase
- Preparation Phase
- Action Phase
- Exhibition Phase
- Cleanup Phase
After the fourth round’s Exhibition Phase, players proceed to Final Scoring.
