Fantasy Flight Games has announced the upcoming release of Magnifico: DaVinci’s Art of War. In this game you will actually get to build the crazy machines that DaVinci invented, but were too far ahead of their time to actually be realized. Of course, the first thing you will use them for is to DESTROY YOUR NEIGHBORS! (which is probably what Leonardo intended all along) Sure, he was no Sun Tzu, but imagine what your renaissance country could do with tanks and airplanes! It is an alternative history game where DaVinci is leading an arms race, but the biggest question is, did he still have time to paint the Mona Lisa?

Here is the news from FFG:

Magnifico: DaVinci’s Art of War is an inventive board game of military conquest for 3-5 players. Set in an alternate history where DaVinci’s fantastic machines of war were mass-produced and fielded in battle, Magnifico offers a unique vision of 16th century warfare. Players are tasked with becoming the next “magnifico” by conquering the most lands, acquiring the most works of art, and constructing the most projects for their people.
