Fresco: Mega Box takes you back to the Renaissance era, where you assume the role of a master painter hired by the bishop to restore a magnificent ceiling fresco in the cathedral. Your task is to plan your day with a team of assistants, buy paints at the market, mix them into new shades, and keep your workers happy—all to create a masterpiece and earn the bishop’s favor.
This is a strategic game featuring worker placement mechanics, along with color mixing, set collection, and mood management. Each player controls a team that is assigned to different tasks:
- Early rising: gives priority in buying paints but lowers workers’ morale.
- Buying and mixing paints: purchase paint cubes at the market and mix them into new shades needed for restoration.
- Restoring the fresco: use the right colors to contribute to the restoration and earn points.
- Visiting the theater: improves workers’ mood, which affects efficiency.
The Mega Box includes the base game plus expansions: Fresco: Expansion Box, Fresco: Expansion Module 7 – The Scrolls, Modules 4, 5, and 6, Modules 8, 9, and 10, and Fresco: The Bishop's Favor. These add new mechanics such as portraits, gold leaf, bishop’s commissions, bells, a physician, and more.
Suitable for families yet offering enough depth for experienced players. If you’re looking for a game that combines beauty, strategy, and historical flavor, Fresco: Mega Box is a must-have for your collection. 🖌️
