Lacrimosa

In the Lacrimosa board game, players step into the shoes of patrons of a late musician. They contribute funds to the composer's works one last time. The game unfolds in two timelines: the present and the past. In the present, you commission the missing parts of the Requiem from other composers to complete it. In the past, the game spans five epochs. Here, you can buy new compositions from the composer for resale or exhibition, accompany him on European tours through major courts and theatres, and gather resources to support his career.

To play Lacrimosa, first, decide who will be the patrons of the late musician. Each player gets a set of resources to start with. In the present - timeline part of the game, look at the Requiem and figure out which parts are missing. Then, use your funds to commission those parts from other composers. In the past - timeline, which is divided into five epochs, keep an eye on the composer's needs. Buy his new compositions when you can, as you can either sell them or put them on exhibition. When it's time to accompany him on journeys through Europe, make sure to plan your moves well to gather the right resources. Remember to manage your funds carefully throughout the game. After each game session, keep the game pieces organized in the box to maintain its condition. Avoid exposing the game to extreme heat or moisture to prevent damage to the cards and components.
