GAME OVERVIEW

Lisboa is a game about the reconstruction of the great Portuguese capital city after a series of terrible catastrophes. On November 1, 1755, Lisboa suffered an earthquake of an estimated magnitude of 8.5–9.0, followed by a devastating tsunami and 3 days of raging fires. The city was almost totally destroyed.

Set up for 4 players and ready to play

The Marquis of Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, was then the minister of foreign affairs. The King put him in charge of the reconstruction of Lisboa. The Marquis gathered a team of engineers and architects to aid him in this reconstruction.

The Honorable Marquis De Pombal

Lisboa is thus played, in part, on a representational map of the city. During the planning of the downtown re-building project, the type of businesses permitted in each street was pre-determined. The clockmakers and goldsmiths had their street; as did the bookstores and libraries; the tailors and silk vendors; and the toolmakers as well. This all comes into play on the Lisboa gameboard.

The streets of the Lisboa gameboard

Players represent the nobility of Lisboa who will use their influence in the reconstruction and business development of the new city.

Manuel da Maia, the Royal Builder charged with restoring Lisboa

In rebuilding the city, players will make use of the Royal Builder, who works with the architects to build Lisboa anew, while the Marquis will provide aid in the development of commerce. The King will provide players with political help in re-opening the beautiful new city. But the true reason you are rebuilding the city is not for greatness, or even fame or fortune. As a nobleman or noblewoman of Lisboa, your primary motivation is the acquisition of Wigs--a most important trading commodity of the Era, and the means of scoring points in the game.

WIGS were a very unique and valuable commodity of the time. Only the wealthiest people could possess more than one wig.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION

Vital Lacerda is an "Alfacinha"! (One who is from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.) There is no one better qualified to design the best game ever produced about Lisbon than Vital. As you read through this Kickstarter project, we believe you will be impressed with the painstaking details Vital has incorporated into the game, capturing the pivotal historic events that gave rise to the complete rebuilding of Lisbon in the late 18th Century. Thanks for your support and enjoy the game.

STRETCH GOALS

*Spot UV Varnish -- This is a special printing technique that applies a clear varnish to specific areas of the board, giving them a slightly raised and glossy appearance. This effect will be applied to all of the important iconography on the board, further facilitating clarity during game play.

* Spot UV varnish on the board - Stretch goal # 2

**Specially-designed player board -- This adds a multi-level player board that features pre-cut spaces for components such as cubes and wooden houses, preventing them from moving during play. It also adds “feet” that lift the middle section, allowing players to more easily tuck cards under the board.

** Specially-designed player board - Stretch goal # 11

***Spot UV Varnish on the Box -- This is a special printing technique that applies a clear varnish to specific areas of the box, giving them a slightly raised and gloss appearance.

*** Spot UV varnish on the box - Stretch goal # 15

ADD-ONS

Please wait until the Survey comes to you just after this KS projects ends to pledge for these add-ons! Actual shipping expense will be added to your pledge for these add-ons after the KS project has ended.

Add-Ons have been the source of a lot of confusion and some "issues" in the past. It is very difficult and expensive for us to coordinate and pay for shipping and stocking goods in four or more locations around the world. As a result, we are offering these Add-Ons only AFTER the KS program ends (via our survey that you will receive within two weeks after this KS ends) AND we are only offering them to US and Canadian Backers for certain.

There will be an additional cost for shipping Add-Ons (matching our costs for shipping, we do not make a profit on shipping!) and you will be advised of those extra shipping costs after you have filled out and returned the survey and worksheet. If the shipping costs prove unacceptable to you, you may cancel your order and you will not be charged anything for Add-ons. If the shipping charges are acceptable, you will pay for the Add-ons via PayPal or wire payment.

For backers in the EU, Australia, Asia and South America, we will provide these Add-Ons on a first come, first served basis. If we do not have the stock needed, we will offer you a FULL refund.

MEET THE DESIGNER

The King IN Lisboa

The King OF Lisboa

Hello everyone. I am Vital Lacerda, the designer of Lisboa. I was born in Lisbon 49 years ago, a city I adore and still live in with Sandra, my wife, and my two lovely daughters. I have a masters degree in Marketing and Advertising, and after working in advertising agencies for almost 15 years as an art director, I decided to try my luck as a freelance graphic designer. I've been working like this since 2007. At that same time I also began designing board games, my true and great passion.

Most of all, I consider myself a gamer who had the luck of having a few publishers who believed in my games. I published Vinhos in 2010; CO2 two years later; Kanban in 2014 and the Gallerist in 2015. This year I also did a major re-release of my first game Vinhos--with a great production done by my friends at Eagle-Gryphon Games. In this new production of Vinhos Deluxe, you can find the original 2010 game as well as a new streamlined version based on 6 years of playtesting by thousands of players all over the world-- including You (I hope).

Fortunately, all my games were well-accepted by enough gamers that they were "successful". Lisboa will be my 6th big release. I believe it has the strongest and best-integrated theme of all my games. It's a game about my town and its reconstruction by the great builders of a bygone era. I hope you will enjoy Lisboa as much you did all the others.

Gaiola Pombalina

I have a tendency to design "thinking" games because those are the types of games I love to play. A big box game takes a lot of time to design, play test and develop. So when I begin such an endeavor, I always look for a few characteristics that are fun for me in those type of games. They need to be challenging; they need to require deep thinking and difficult decision-making; they must allow great control; and they must involve intense competition and heavy strategy. Those are the games I love to play and design.

Lisboa: Building Stores

I usually start to look for a theme to be the foundation of the game. Strategic thinking inside a game that is supported by a strong theme must always be present. That it is the most challenging thing when designing such a game. My games are usually based in a simple core that offers the player a lot of layers to explore. Lisboa is not an exception to any of this and I hope it gives you the challenge and the fun you are looking for.

I like interconnected mechanisms a lot — pursuing strategies, different complex paths — but I also love to adapt, make tactical moves, and have some randomness in games. I try to avoid luck in longer games. I believe luck should be delivered not by the system, but by player decisions.

Building stores unlocks various benefits

I also love to move pieces on a board. That is precisely one of the things I most care about in games. I love moving wood and cardboard over the board, I like to touch, to feel. For me, it makes the game much more dynamic, colorful, and fun. Because of that, my games always deliver to the players loads of great components inside a big heavy box. And you may expect the same in Lisboa. I hope you enjoy playing Lisboa as much as I enjoyed designing it. I really still love playing it! Go to the rules section above, read the rules and take a look at the video. I sincerely hope this is a game for you and your friends. Thank you very much for reading this and for supporting me on this campaign.
