The Pazzi Conspiracy

The Pazzi Conspiracy expansion for Lorenzo il Magnifico: 24 new Development cards mixed into the base decks, the deck-building variants, 4 new Leaders and the Della Scala and Visconti Family tiles.

Short tag: [Pazzi]

What it adds

Component	Use
	24 Development cards (145–168), 6 of each type.
	4 Leader cards.
	2 Family tiles (Della Scala, Visconti) and 5 Visconti tokens.

The Family tiles need the Houses of Renaissance auction; the cards and Leaders work with the base game alone.

Development card setup

Replace setup step 2 with this:

1. Sort the base cards and the Pazzi cards by type and period.
2. Shuffle each type-and-period group together: 12 small piles.
3. Draw 8 cards from each pile and build the 4 decks as usual — period III at the bottom, I on top. The leftover cards go back in the box unseen.

Variants

• Controlled random: look through the selected cards before shuffling and stacking them.
• Build your own: choose any mix of base and Pazzi cards, as long as each type has exactly 8 cards per period.

With Houses of Renaissance, keep the Pazzi cards out of the Special deck: they only mix with the base decks.

New Development cards

Costs and points follow the printed cards; effects follow the rulebook. The cards follow every base rule of their type.

Territories

Picture	Card, cost and effect
	#145 Conquered Province — 5 ; Value 3+: you must lose 1 .
	#146 Looted City — 3 , 3 ; Value 4+: you must lose 2 .
	#147 Rural Village — 1 , 1 ; Value 5+: 3 or 3 .
	#148 Templars’ Castle — 1 , 1 ; Value 4+: 2 or 1 .
	#149 Pistoia — 2 , 2 ; Value 4+: 3 or 3 .
	#150 Roma — 2 , 2 ; Value 5+: 1 and 3 .

Characters

Card	Effect
	#151 Artisan Apprentice (3 ) — 1 ; permanently ignore the −3 of the large Production space.
	#152 Laborer (3 ) — 1 ; permanently ignore the −3 of the large Harvest space.
	#153 Scientist (5 ) — Production at value 3 with another player’s Buildings, paying with your own goods; permanent +1 to your Productions.
	#154 Breeder (6 ) — Harvest at value 2 with another player’s Territories; permanent +1 to your Harvests.
	#155 Vandal (5 ) — 3 ; each opponent discards a Territory or a Building of their choice.
	#156 Judge (7 ) — 2 ; each opponent discards a Character or a Venture of their choice.

A player with neither type discards nothing. Played Leaders stay even if a discard breaks their requirements, and goods already received from the lost card are kept.

Buildings

Card	Effect
	#157 Tavern (1 coin, 1 wood, 1 stone) — 3 . Production 2+: pay 1 for 1 .
	#158 Thieves’ Guild (1 servant, 1 coin, 2 wood) — 2 . Production 6+: pay 1 per opponent; each gives you 2 or 3 , their choice.
	#159 Cemetery (2 coins, 2 stone) — 5 . Production 5+: discard one of your Characters for 7 .
	#160 Siege Tower (1 servant, 2 wood) — 2 . Production 4+: pay 1 per opponent; each gives you 2 or 3 .
	#161 Merchants’ Guild (2 coins, 1 wood, 2 stone) — 5 . Production 2+: the reward of an empty Market space, or 1 .
	#162 Assassins’ Guild (2 coins, 4 wood, 1 Faith) — 8 . Production 4+: discard one of your played Leaders for 6 .

When you take points from opponents you pay the full amount first; an opponent who cannot pay the full coins or servants pays the Victory Points instead.
