Mille Fiori (FR)SKU: 4001504883980

In Reiner Knizia's Mille Fiori (millefiori is a glasswork technique for decorative patterns, the name means Thousand Flowers), you take the role of glass manufacturers and traders who want to profit as much as they can from their role in the production of fine glass art.

The game board features different aspects of the glass production cycle: workshops where the glass is created, houses where it's installed, people who support your work, trade shops where it's sold, and the harbor where ships take the glass to faraway locations. You want to be present in all of these areas, preferably at just the right time to maximize your earnings. The gameboard features 109 spaces, with one card in the deck for each of those spaces.

At the start of a round, each player receives a hand of five cards. Each player chooses a card from hand, then passes the remaining cards to the next player, then each player plays their card in turn, beginning with the round's start player and typically placing a diamond-shaped token of their color in the location depicted on that card. Alternatively, you can play a card for ship movement points and not place a token on the game board.

For each of the five areas, you can meet a certain condition that allows you to play a bonus card from those beside the game board. Additionally, there are five different ways to score substantial bonus points for the areas. You can only score each area's bonus once, and importantly each time a bonus is claimed then the value available for later players is reduced. The player with the most successful glass dynasty (most points) is declared the winner.
