Two of history's greatest artists, two completely different ways to play. Maestro is a new heavy eurogame from Board & Dice that hands you either Leonardo da Vinci's workshop or Michelangelo's, and the clever part is that the two sides play nothing alike.

See how it worksDesigned by Andrea Robbiani for 1 to 4 players, Maestro sends both workshops across a map of Renaissance Italy, competing for galleries, commissions and the favour of wealthy collectors. Each turn you take one of four actions (move, create, influence or study), but how you turn those into points depends on which master you are running. Leonardo's side is about inventions and blueprints, slotting resources into patterns on a workshop board to unlock ongoing effects. Michelangelo's is more reactive, built around statues, busts and a dedicated Sistine Chapel board. The galleries themselves are a moving target, since their value shifts depending on which collectors you have swayed and the order things score in. This is a proper heavyweight, so set aside a good two hours or so.
Maestro is up for preorder now through Board & Dice. A two-hour asymmetric euro is the sort of game that rewards a group who play together often, so if it sounds like your table's speed, it is worth lining up a regular game night before the box lands. You can find or start one on Backseat Gamer.
