In Tiletum, you and your fellow players take on the role of wealthy merchants traveling through Europe, from Flanders to Venice, during the Golden Age of the Renaissance.

You travel to various cities to acquire trade contracts for wool and iron, as well as a collection of their coats of arms. You must gather the necessary resources to fulfill contracts, invest in the construction of monumental cathedrals, and participate in important fairs. You will also avail the services of remarkable people who will be welcomed into your homes. This way you gain prestige that will make you the most famous merchant of the Renaissance.

Tiletum is a dice management game in which dice have a dual function: obtaining resources and performing actions. A certain number of dice are rolled each round. On your turn, choose a die to get the number of corresponding resources equal to the value of the die, then perform the corresponding action. The power of the action has to do with the value of the die: the fewer resources you win, the more powerful the actions you take and vice versa.
