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