The tabletop world is heading back to the height of the Italian Renaissance. Publisher Board & Dice has officially unveiled its next major title: Maestro, a strategy game that brings the legendary rivalry between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo to life.
The Art of (Creative) War
Designed by Italian creator Andrea Robbiani (co-creator of Ants), Maestro puts players in charge of Florence’s most prestigious workshops. The goal? To achieve eternal glory by crafting masterpieces that satisfy wealthy aristocrats and sway public opinion.
The game stands out with several core features:
-
Card-Based Action System: Players must manage their hands to improve skills, display works in the courts of Italy, or manipulate the public’s artistic preferences.
-
Asymmetrical Gameplay: Each workshop possesses unique capabilities, forcing players to adapt their strategy whether they are channeling Da Vinci’s polymath genius or Michelangelo’s sculptural power.
-
Flexible Play Modes: Whether you prefer solo play, a head-to-head duel, or a team-based battle, the game promises deep tactical layers.
