Gerald Cameron and I tell you more than you ever wanted to know about The Princes of Florence ... and then a little more. It's a fantastic medium heavy Euro with a lot going on: auctions, actions, pseudo-secret goals, spatial management, economic planning, and a moderate amount of player interaction.
We will be announcing the contest winner in the next episode. Mark was sidelined due to the birth of his daughter.
