Serenissima is the new Ystari edition of the 1996 game (Méditerranée in France). The rules have been updated and the game is more fluid.

In Serenissima players represent a merchant family during the Renaissance. Players attempt to balance the need of trading and open commerce versus the cut-throat economic piracy of the day. Players create a fleet of ships to purchase and move various commodities around the Mediterranean while also keeping well manned ships to attack and defend against other player's fleets.
Board
The maritime areas are bigger and there are fewer of them. Starting ports are different too: Alexandria is one of them in the new version.

Resources and Trade
One of the resources has changed (marble replaces gems) and the ports produce different resources compared to the 1996 version. In the 1996 version, when buying goods from a port owned by another player, you had to bargain. It could be hard. Now, you just pay them 1 ducat, instead of paying the bank.
Wine is now special: one port with wine in its warehouse is worth more VP at the end of the game.

Game Flow (big point)
In the 1996 version, all the players used to bid for turn order. Then, they all played the phases according to this order: they loaded, built and bought, then they all moved their galleys, they fought and finally they took over free ports and made money.
There's no bidding anymore. Now, the galleys you build are numbered, and when it's the turn of one specific galley, its owner can perform their actions (load, move and fight, or build), before the next galley is the active one. If your galleys have successive numbers, you can play several times.
The little flags that used to be awkwardly fixed on the galleys are now useless, and the men have to be in the player's colour (instead of being a nice bunch of nice Sailor Smurfs).
This is a major difference, the game is radically altered.

Counts and Victory Points
There are several counts in the game, and not only one at the end of the game. What's more: another kind of count can bring players money if they have wine in their warehouse. All of that depends on the drawn cards at the end of a galleys' turn. The pace of the game may be altered by those cards, too.
There is no card in the 1996 version.
In this old version, the only way to have your port well valued at the end of the game was to have its warehouses full. It's now different too: a port with one good is better than one with none, but worse than one with two, etc.

Other Changes
There's a building more: basilic. It brings more VP.
Galleys are easier to build but the price is not the same.
Combat rules are very different, the fort has a different power. Dice are different too.
Port limits to recruit sailors are different.
2 and 3 players rules are different.
...and this list is all but exhaustive.

Bottom screw will rust and permanently stain counter
Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel, Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel
Besides the ungalvanized or stainless steel bottom screw that rusts at the first sign of moisture this product has held up incredibly well. I've used the product for 3 years and that is the only problem. I'm probably going to get a deduction in my security deposit for the rust stains that have permeated the countertop. The rest of the product is really well made and holds up well

Crafting Convenience: Sturdy and Stylish One-Handed Towel Holder for Creative Spaces
Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel
Thisit has become a great addition to my craft area. The struggle to find a convenient place for paper towels is real, especially when crafting can get a bit messy. Prior attempts with a magnetic holder fell short, as it couldn't support the weight of a full paper towel roll. The promise of a one-handed dispensing solution was intriguing and seemed like the perfect fit for my needs. While I can't unequivocally say this holder allows for flawless one-handed dispensing – it seems the success of that feature might depend on the angle at which the towel is torn – it's still a significant upgrade from my previous setup. The sturdy stand ensures the towels are always within reach, without the risk of the holder tipping over or the roll coming loose. Apart from its functionality, the aesthetic aspect of this towel holder is a notable advantage. Its minimalist design doesn't just save space; it also contributes to the overall look and feel of my crafting space. The wrought iron style is a perfect match with my other accessories, creating a cohesive and stylish environment. In conclusion, this towel holder is more than just a functional tool; it's a stylish addition that enhances the convenience and appearance of my crafting area. Its sturdy build, practical design, and complementary style make it a winner in my book.

Great design
Great quality and exactly what I wanted. I did see the issue with leakage as others shared but I purchased a drying stone rack separately and I haven’t had any leakage issues

My kitchen sink finally looks intentional
I finally upgraded my kitchen sink setup with the Havara Dish Soap Dispenser and it is such a mood. I was so tired of having a messy plastic soap bottle and a soggy sponge just sitting on the counter. This dispenser completely fixes that while looking incredibly chic. The granite resin material is high quality and has a nice weight to it, so it doesnt slide around when I am using it. It has a sleek minimalist vibe that makes the whole area look more polished and put together. I love that it is designed for one handed use because it makes washing dishes so much faster and less of a chore. You just press down with the sponge and it dispenses the perfect amount of soap every time. It is a small change but it makes my daily routine feel much more elevated. The non slip base is a great touch and the built in sponge holder keeps everything organized and dry. If you want to get rid of the kitchen clutter and give your sink a mini makeover, this is definitely the way to do it. I am really happy with how it looks and functions!
