Testa di Pecora

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In Renaissance Italy, princes and doges might seem to rule the land, but the true power is held by the great merchant houses.  You will lead a merchant house to glorious wealth and power, or preside over a descent into ignominious poverty.   With savvy trading, shrewd alliances, and judicious application of influence, you can outwit your competitors to become the wealthiest family in Italy.

In each trading season, your house will enter into alliance with other houses; your goal is to figure out where loyalties lie, and then work to ensure that your coalition emerges from the season victorious, with more money than the other alliance.

Money is made in each trading day, by beginning a trade in one of the great Italian cities, and sponsoring it with a local noble.  The goal is to have the most powerful noble in the city working for your coalition on this day -- but beware, because the Church is more powerful than any local faction, and a shrewd trader can deploy clerics to win the day.

Testa di Pecora takes the classic design of Schafskopf to Renaissance Italy. Deduction, card management, and risk-taking are the hallmark of the game.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
