Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Tiletum, you play as wealthy merchants traveling across Renaissance Europe, from Flanders to Venice. You acquire trade contracts for wool and iron, collect coats of arms, invest in cathedrals, gain noble favor, and participate in fairs. Dice have a dual role: they provide resources equal to their value and allow actions whose strength is inversely related to the dice value.
Who Is This Game For?
Tiletum targets experienced Eurogame players who enjoy strategic depth and dice management. The 100-minute playtime requires patience and planning. It includes a solo mode, making it suitable for solo gamers interested in Renaissance themes and dice drafting. Prior experience with such mechanics is beneficial.
How It Works
The game uses Dice Drafting: dice are rolled each round, and on your turn, you select a die to gain resources equal to its value. You then perform an action whose power is inversely proportional to that value. Action Points govern your ability to fulfill contracts, build cathedrals, and gain influence. End Game Bonuses reward strategic planning.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini, Tiletum was nominated in 2022 for awards like Board Game Quest Awards Best Strategy/Euro Game and Golden Geek Heavy Game of the Year. It blends Dice Drafting with Action Points in a Renaissance setting, creating a unique mix of resource management and strategic depth.
