Step into the vibrant world of medieval Florence with Calimala, a captivating board game where you become a cloth merchant navigating the bustling streets of this iconic city. Immerse yourself in the historical guild of the Arte di Calimala, renowned for its influence and power during the Late Middle Ages, as you forge your path among the elite of Florence.

In Calimala, you will assign your trusted employees to various streets, each connecting two significant locations bustling with opportunities for action. As you maneuver through the city, you’ll produce exquisite cloth, deliver it to key destinations, and contribute to the remarkable construction and decoration of the majestic buildings that define Florence.

Your employees remain diligently stationed at their assigned spots, executing tasks whenever the street is activated. Over time, they can gain recognition and ascend to the city council, setting off a rewarding scoring phase. With a unique action system, each player utilizes their action discs strategically. In turn order, place a disc to perform actions and activate others on the same space. When the fourth disc occupies an action space, the lowest disc earns a promotion to the council, triggering a thrilling scoring opportunity.

Every game of Calimala offers a fresh experience, as the arrangement of action spaces and scoring phases changes with each session. This variability keeps players on their toes, while secret scoring objectives and action cards add delightful twists of uncertainty. Are you ready to master the art of cloth trading and secure your legacy in the grand tapestry of Florence?
