Mille Fiori: The Masterpieces is an expansion for Mille Fiori released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Reiner Knizia and its main mechanics are Area Majority / Influence, Pattern Building, and Closed Drafting.
Mille Fiori: Die Meisterwerke allows players to continue sailing around the city to meet eminent figures and create glass masterpieces. To set up, place the new game board that extends the sailing track next to the game board. The game now contains Dogate cards that bring points, changed movements, or a different order of play. A little council of influential citizens, the Signoria, advises the Doge and influences the political events of the city. Nine different masterpieces can be gathered along the advanced sea route that leads to lucrative trading cities, or through the Dogaressa, the Doge's wife. If you receive a masterpiece, you can immediately collect valuable points, while also using the masterpiece to fill the shop window. If you choose wisely, you can score additional points at the end of the game.
Mille Fiori: The Masterpieces supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mille Fiori: The Masterpieces is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mille Fiori: The Masterpieces for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
