Magnifico

Magnifico is a region-based strategy game set in 16th-century Europe. You compete to dominate the continent by earning Victory Points through troop placement, fortifications, invasions of bordering regions and special actions. Economic and military decisions shape your plans, while auctions let you bid against opponents for Leonardo Da Vinci’s inventions and war machines.

Expand your power

Each turn brings a chance to acquire Da Vinci’s projects, including cannons, flying machines, bombards and tanks. You can build castles, tanks, aircraft and other inventions, then upgrade infantry, tanks and aircraft with technologies that improve their reliability and combat power. Battles use these weapons, though tanks can explode.

You earn Victory Points for having the most castles, territories or technologies, for being Magnifico and through other special actions. The auction also offers special weapons such as the Great Cannon, submarines, armoured ships and paratroopers; making the most of them calls for balancing risk and caution.

Game modes

In single-player mode, you face up to three AI opponents. Choose them from 10 AI characters, each with their own play style. The game includes an in-game tutorial and a detailed manual.
