These bankers became the wealthiest private individuals ever as they guided Europe into the modern age.\u003cbr\u003eAs a Renaissance banker, you will finance kings or republics, sponsor voyages of discovery, join secret cabals, or unleash jihads and inquisitions. Your choices determine if Europe is elevated into the bright modern era or remains festering in dark feudalism. Four victories determine the future course of Western Society: will it be towards imperialism, trade globalization, religious totalitarianism, or enlightened art and science?\u003cbr\u003eNew components in\u003cstrong\u003ePax Renaissance 2nd Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e include punchouts for pirate ships, pawns for concessions and serfs, placards for player boards, and empire squares allowing storage of repressed tokens and queens even if the King is not in a player Tableau.\u003cbr\u003eExtra game Map Cards are included, allowing the mounted gameboard to be left behind for small game portability.
