Step into the vibrant heart of Lisbon’s bustling market with Mercado de Lisboa, a fast-paced and strategic tile-placement game from Eagle-Gryphon Games. Designed by Vital Lacerda and Julián Pombo, this engaging "thinky filler" draws inspiration from the city-building mechanics of the acclaimed Lisboa board game, offering a streamlined yet tactically rich experience perfect for 1-4 players ages 14 and up. With a playtime of 30-45 minutes, it’s an ideal choice for gamers seeking depth without the commitment of a longer session.
In Mercado de Lisboa, you take on the role of an ambitious entrepreneur vying to maximize profits in a lively marketplace. Players buy and place stands selling goods like flowers, drinks, or seafood, strategically open restaurants to boost their value, and attract customers to earn money based on matching stands. Every decision matters—where you place your tiles, how you influence prices, and when you bring in customers can shift the tide of the game. The rules are straightforward and easy to learn, yet the choices are deep and rewarding, making every playthrough a fresh challenge.
Featuring high-quality components and immersive artwork by Pedro Soto, Mercado de Lisboa captures the essence of a modern-day market with its dynamic interplay of strategy and competition. Whether you’re adapting to the evolving board state or plotting a clever endgame push, this game strikes a perfect balance of accessibility and complexity.
