Genio is a videogame about engineering, art and power: building the Renaissance. A card based real time strategy game that anybody can play. Watch your teams parade through narrow streets and be jeered and cheered! The game play universe is Renaissance Italy; each town will flourish through artistic innovation and conceptual breakthroughs. You start by designing new inventions using your deck of builder cards, getting inspiration from your ever expanding Book of Ideas. Once your blueprint is ready, your team of builders will parade through a town of your choice. Being cheered or jeered will make the success or failure of your march, hence conquering or losing ground. Once reached its goal, your team will build what you planned. And with new constructions you will get new ideas, in the form of more pages in the Book if Ideas, and eventually more builder cards. Keep the Renaissance sun burning with a continuous flow of ideas and artistic creations.
