About this game
Rise early to get the best paint colors at the market, or sleep in to keep your apprentices happy. That central tension drives this colorful euro about restoring a Renaissance church ceiling. Mix primary paints into rarer shades, claim sections of the fresco worth different point values, and balance money-making portrait commissions against the main restoration work. Included expansion modules let you scale complexity from a family-friendly game up to a meaty strategic experience, all in one box.
