In Fresco, you step into the shoes of a master painter in the heart of the Renaissance, tasked with the noble mission of restoring a magnificent fresco in a church. Each round, the first crucial decision is your wake-up time: the earlier you rise, the earlier you act in the turn, increasing your chances of snatching the best market options and most coveted fresco segments. But be warned! Your apprentices aren't robots; waking them up too early too often will make them grumpy and less efficient – after all, they also enjoy a bit more sleep!

After determining turn order, it's time to plan the day's actions. You'll need to manage your apprentice team for various tasks: buying paints from the market, mixing colors to create exact shades, working directly on restoring the fresco (which requires specific paint combinations), painting portraits to raise the money needed for more supplies, or even sending your apprentices to the opera to boost team morale.

Most points are earned by restoring the fresco, meaning smart planning in buying and mixing paints is essential to outmaneuver your rivals. The base game already offers a fun and strategic experience, but Fresco truly shines with its modularity. It comes with several expansion modules that can be added to increase complexity, deepen strategic decisions, and ensure high replayability. Whether for a lighter family game or a more robust challenge, Fresco adapts to your playstyle, always maintaining its elegant theme and fun.
