Important visits are to arrive ... Are you ready to receive them?\nThis board game is not meant to be a simulation of reality but rather a game that provides fun, healthy living but also the Palace as a historical and cultural monument.\nIt also focuses some of the farm's old activities and also draws attention to the beauty of the building, its Gardens, the Cascade of the Poets, the House of Fishing, the wine and olive oil mills.\nThe characters in this game are historical figures that have crossed in a way or another with the Palace, but the main figure is the Palace itself. Since chronological data were not taken into account, these characters may not have been simultaneously in the palace.\nSebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquis of Pombal) was in his Palace in Oeiras, more precisely in the Fishing House, enjoying his precious leisure time when he finds out that his butler had shuffled his agenda. Some important visitors are coming to the Palace but no one knows who or when will arrive first...\nThe player will play the role of a candidate for the new butler of the Marques. He will have to lead a team of workers in the preparation services of the respective places to properly receive visitors.\nThe workers are in the Staff House and will be paid for their services.\nThe attention will be focused on the locations where the visitors (characters) are welcomed. The player has to perform some maintenance and services but will also have to explore Farm's resources (Olive, Grapes, Mulberry \/ Silkworms) in order to produce olive oil, Carcavelos wine and silk cocoons.\nIt is necessary to produce in order to generate money (exportation through Lage Creek), and at the same time to be a good host to your visitors (characters) so that the player can be rewarded with the characters’ favors (special actions of the characters) in order to get the highest score to win the game.\nO Palácio do Marquês (The Palace of the Marquis) is a worker placement board game for 2 to 4 players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.17 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e João Quintela Martins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Art and Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925683208408,"sku":"SB-4B55B70587AE-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/b3xtittjgoqzt5n6lfr9zzutqz2w.jpg?v=1785458978","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/o-palacio-do-marques","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
