I'm playing with the Houses of Reinassance expansion. The manual isn't too clear on whether leader drafting comes before house bidding or not. The wording states something like:

  1. Leader drafting is done during preparation
  2. House bidding is done before the first round

From this wording we've concluded leader drafting comes first, but we're unsure, and I haven't been able to find an FAQ so far.

  • What do you mean by 'House Bidding'? this isn't a term used in the rules. The word 'House'. is only used in an example as text on a card. https://cmon-files.s3.amazonaws.com/pdf/assets_item/resource/49/Rulebook_LorenzoIlMagnifico.pdf – StartPlayer Apr 25 '22 at 11:52
  • @StartPlayer I'm referring to the Houses of Renaissance expansion rules – Kenji Kina Apr 25 '22 at 17:33
  • Ah that wasn't clear to me from the question. Probably worth editing to say that then. I've not played the expansion, just base game, which is probably why I didn't recognise the term. – StartPlayer Apr 25 '22 at 18:07

In the base game rules advanced set up players are instructed to take a personal bonus tile and then draft leaders.

In the expansion rules auction for the Family Tiles is listed before drafting leaders. This auction also gives players their start resources. in base game starting resources are also done before drafting leaders.

Whilst I agree that 'before the first round' could be read both ways I would go 'Family Tiles' and then 'Leader drafting' as the instruction to add new leaders is not given until after the auction in the rules.
