About This Game

Magnifico is a popular region-based board game where the ultimate goal is to dominate 16th century Europe and is now available for PC!

Players are faced with tough economic and military decisions as they earn Victory Points and attempt to outbid opponents at the auction and get their hands on Leonardo Da Vinci’s most powerful war machines. Every Victory Point has to be earned by careful placement of your troops, construction of fortifications, and invasion of bordering regions. Each new turn brings a chance to acquire Da Vinci’s precious projects and get the upper hand over your opponents.

Cannons, flying machines, bombards, tanks and many more inventions will be available as options at the auction table, but only with a perfect balance of risk and caution will players make the most of them.

Play hard or play clever, Europe’s dominance is just one Victory Point away.

At $5, this is a steal, and one the company website, you can get the real board game for $14.99.

Magnifico is a clever mixture of artistic and tactical warfare. It's roots are in the Axis and Allies mold, but it plays dramatically different, with the inclusion of cards that make for asymmetrical opponents of varying qualities.

It's an elegant translation of the original board game, and a worthy addition to your library. One can only hope other games, like Dust, will be made into digital format(s) as well.

Only played a single game and enjoyed it - to a point.
It is very risk like in places - but the army building is different.
The card auctions are strange and you have to decide how much to gamble. If you win the auction, you will get to choose on of the cards. But, the twist is, bid too much and the 2nd person gets their choice for a fraction of the cost - or drops out completely.
The AI seems to focus on defence - which is ok - but as you get closer to the victory point - doesn't try to use the poweful stacks it has built.
Would be good with a multi-playerr or hot-seat option.
Price is excellent - but this could be a try before you buy and an occasional game.
Overall - i like it and when i get 4 hrs clocked - will feel i've got value for money

Update : The AI level is controlled by picking different characters to play against. There is a list, and it shows 3\4 by default who seem to be unrated. Scrolling down shows the higher rated characters. Only realised this on second game.
