Step into the enchanting world of delicate blown glass, where a game of elegance and skill awaits: "Mille Fiori." Crafted by the renowned Reiner Knizia, this masterpiece transports players of all ages to workshops and picturesque streets of glass artistry, offering the opportunity to become esteemed glassmasters and renowned traders.

Inspired by the millefiori technique, meaning "Thousand Flowers" in Italian, this board game captures the beauty of decorative glassworks, guiding you through the exhilarating glass production cycle. The game board transforms into a canvas, depicting crucial places of this captivating realm: workshops where glass takes form, luxurious abodes where it finds its home, the people who support your craft, the shops where glass is sold, and the harbor, from which ships carry your creations to distant lands.

In "Mille Fiori," you are called to expand your influence over every facet of this entrancing universe. Each turn begins with a hand of five cards, each bearing possibilities and opportunities. Choose wisely a card, pass the remaining to the next player, and place your glass token in the indicated spot. Your move paints your destiny, unveiling your prowess in creating and marketing glass.

The workshops are your genesis, where magic takes shape. Here, every connection between your tokens rewards you with points, even doubling your glory if played on a pigment field. In luxurious residences, you'll earn the listed points, and if your token precedes others in the line, you shall be rewarded anew. The local citizens recognize your contribution: gain points based on your token's height in the pyramid and double the reward if the card's symbol matches your filled space. The trade shops are brimming with riches, and each of your tokens covers what you possess, garnering points equal to the number of covered goods. At the harbor, your ships set sail according to the played card, bringing you points based on the destination, and each ship docking reinforces your power.

However, your skills know no bounds, and hidden bonuses await those who dare seek them. In "Mille Fiori," unlock the power of special bonus cards, unleashing chains of events that will elevate your artistry to new heights. And let's not forget the objectives: showcase your mastery in key areas and earn bonus points that will secure your victory.

"It's finished!" when the last glass tile finds its place or when cards can no longer be dealt. This is where your fate will be sealed, and the most celebrated glassmaster shall be crowned.

"Mille Fiori" is more than a game: it's an experience of beauty, skill, and craftsmanship. Join in this captivating journey through the world of glass and prove your ability to create a masterpiece like no other. Get ready to immerse yourself in the art of glass like never before with "Mille Fiori."
