"Fresco: Revised Edition" is a refreshed edition of the popular board game Fresco, placing you in the role of Renaissance artists tasked with restoring the magnificent ceiling of a cathedral.
In the game, you take on the role of a fresco painter commissioned by the bishop to restore the grand fresco adorning the cathedral ceiling. Your job is to purchase paints, mix colors, and use them to bring the masterpiece back to life. At the same time, you must keep your assistants motivated and happy. If you wake them too early, their morale will suffer, reducing their effectiveness.
Players secretly decide where to send their assistants: to the marketplace to buy paints, to the workshop to mix colors, to the cathedral to paint, or to the theater to improve morale. Primary colors can be combined into secondary colors, giving you more options for restoring the more demanding sections of the fresco. Players also choose when to wake up each day. Rising earlier grants better access to the market, but it comes at the cost of worker satisfaction. Victory points are earned by painting sections of the fresco, fulfilling the bishop’s requests, and completing other special tasks.
If you're looking for a game that combines art, strategy, and beautiful presentation in an elegant package, Fresco: Revised Edition is an excellent choice. 🖌️
