In The Palace of Carrara, players want to buy marble from this famous region of Italy as cheaply as possible - but any price reduction will also benefit your opponents. Perhaps it seems profitable to invest in buildings created from this exclusive marble. Perhaps, however, it would be more useful to grab the expensive raw material when the largest buildings in the city prove to be not as profitable as you hoped. The second edition includes a revised set of rules as well as an upgraded version with new strategies and scoring methods.
