The time of change has come. The Middle Ages end and modernity is born. It is time for those in power to act. Your ruling family must protect their position - and their fortunes are in your hands!

Virtù takes up the art of governing and uses a unique mechanism: Your tableau shows an action wheel with which you choose your actions. During the game you change it with cards and adapt it to your strategy. As a patron, fund scholars and artists, position troops and agents to take control of cities, or choose a diplomatic route to expand your dominion and gain prestige.

Make imaginative and courageous decisions and make your ruling family the largest in Italy!

The action wheel (Rondell), which can be adjusted by the player in the course of the game, is highly innovative and we have never seen it before. While there is already a slight asymmetry between the historical ruling families at the start, you have the opportunity to shift your focus again significantly over the course of the game, which results in a wide range of strategy options. However, due to the rondel mechanism, this must be well planned.

The whole thing is given a further special appeal by the very high level of interaction between the players.
