Warring Italian city-states! Send your mercenaries out to claim land, the more and closer together, the better for winning. The bigger the army, the better, of course, but it is easy to over-commit to a single battle. Your cards have to last multiple conflicts, so pick and choose your battles — literally!

This classic Dominique Ehrhard game, originally published in 1995 and with lovely period-style art, has been updated in the late-00s with new/different rules. I haven't played the new rules, maybe they're fine. This video is my love letter to classic Condottiere.
