Lisboa Deluxe Edition (Includes Upgrade Pack) [Board Game]

Lisboa Deluxe Edition promises an unforgettable experience of rebuilding a city—and your legacy—one calculated move at a time.

Step into the vibrant and tumultuous world of 18th-century Portugal with Lisboa Deluxe Edition, a masterpiece of strategy and historical immersion designed by renowned game designer Vital Lacerda and brought to life by Eagle-Gryphon Games. This deluxe edition elevates the critically acclaimed original with enhanced components, exclusive content, and breathtaking artwork by Ian O’Toole, making it a must-have for board game enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Set against the backdrop of Lisbon’s catastrophic destruction on November 1, 1755—when a massive earthquake of 8.5–9.0 magnitude, followed by a tsunami and three days of raging fires, left the city in ruins—Lisboa casts you as a noble tasked with rebuilding the Portuguese capital. Under the guidance of the Marquis of Pombal, you’ll collaborate with architects, engineers, and the royal court to resurrect the city’s grandeur. But your true ambition lies in gaining prestige and securing the most coveted prize of the era: wigs, the ultimate symbol of status and victory.

In this deeply strategic game, players navigate a beautifully rendered map of downtown Lisbon, where every street reflects the historical planning of the reconstruction. Manage resources like influence, construction licenses, and royal favor as you build iconic structures, develop commerce, and open stores tailored to predetermined trades—clockmakers, goldsmiths, tailors, and more. Every decision weaves together intricate mechanics, including card drafting, tile placement, and area majority, creating a rich tapestry of choices that reward foresight and adaptability.

The Deluxe Edition enhances the experience with premium upgrades: expanded player boards, stenciled scoring discs, a cloth bag for clergy tiles, and double-sided public buildings that add variability to every game. It also includes the full Upgrade Pack, a 2-player overlay, reward tokens, and a startup card pack—exclusive additions that deepen replayability and immersion. With a playtime of 60–120 minutes and support for 1–4 players (ages 14+), Lisboa Deluxe Edition offers both solo challenges and competitive multiplayer depth.

This is no light affair—Lisboa is a heavy Eurogame that demands thoughtful planning and rewards mastery over multiple plays. Its stunning production quality, from thick components to thematic player aids, complements a richly integrated historical narrative, making every session feel like a journey through time.
