I've come across this



Published by Eurogames, is it a previous version? It certainly sounds the same, though the contents are slightly different.

Details:

Condottiere

Condottiere is both a cardgame and a boardgame. It is fast and intense, played over many rounds. At the start of each round the players receive 10 cards, plus 2 cards for each city they have conquered. With these cards they must capture new cities and counter their opponents' strategies.

Contents
Game Board
96 Playing Cards
A Wooden Condottiere Piece
60 Small Wooden City Pieces
Rulebook
2 Card Summary Sheets

That's an older version of the same game. The rules are different than the new Fantasy Flight version. While I don't mind the FF rules tweaks, I prefer the original.

Yup, that is the original. I prefer the Eurogames / Descartes version over the new FF one.

Lots of discussion on the differences already. Check out this older thread.

The new version contains:

Quote:
110 Battle cards

10 1-strength Mercenary cards
8 2-strength Mercenary cards
8 3-strength Mercenary cards
8 4-strength Mercenary cards
8 5-strength Mercenary cards
8 6-strength Mercenary cards
8 10-strength Mercenary cards
3 Winter cards
3 Spring cards
6 Bishop cards
12 Courtesan cards
6 Drummer cards
3 Heroine cards
16 Scarecrow cards
3 Surrender cards

1 Condottiere token
1 Favor of the Pope token
36 control markers (6 different colors 6 markers per player)


So to make the old version:

Don't play with the Favor of the pope token, only the Condottiere piece. Remove all spring and all the courtesans (except 5 which you will use as 1 point mercenaries) and remove 3 of the bishops whose power works as follows in the second edition: The Bishop ends the battle, no one wins, all cards are discarded and the Condottiere token passes to the left.

so here are the contents of the old version:
96 cards
- 15 X 1 point mercenaries (use 5 courtesans from the new vers and play them as regular 1 point mercenaries)
- 8 X 2,3,4,5,6 & 10 point mercenaries
- 15 X Scarecrows (take one scarecrow out of the new vers.)
- 6 X drummers
- 3 X Bishops (Dump 3 bishops from the new vers. and he ends the battle, no winner & all cards are discarded)
- 3 X Surrenders
- 3 X Winters
- 3 X Heroines

- 1 wooden Condottoere token
-60 control markers (6 different colors ten markers per player)

and voila you have original Condotierre cool
