Lisboa
Rebuild a shattered capital, one favor at a time.
What it is
Lacerda's rebuild of post-earthquake 1755 Lisbon. You play favors with the Marquis, the King, and the Church while quietly moving goods and clearing rubble. The teach is long, the board layout by Ian O'Toole is clean, and the first game will not go well. Keep at it.
What we love
- Three overlapping influence tracks all feeding one score
- Ian O'Toole's board is a masterclass in icon design
- A rebuilding theme that actually tracks the mechanics
Honest trade-offs
- Teach runs close to an hour the first time
- Four players stretches past the three-hour mark
- Not the Lacerda to start with; try Vinhos Deluxe first
