Gutenberg is a mid-weight strategy game set in 15th century Europe, where each player steps into the shoes of a printing pioneer striving to build wealth and fame. Your goal is to develop your printing workshop and gain the favor of influential patrons.

Players bid for specific actions to expand their workshops, acquire new fonts, inks, and decorations. The game features a unique system of rotating gears that allows players to combine bonuses and accumulate significant points. The game unfolds over six rounds, and the player with the most points at the end emerges victorious.
