Step into the heart of Portugal with House of Fado, a captivating board game that transports you to charming Casa de Fado restaurants where traditional Portuguese cuisine intertwines with the soulful sounds of fado music.

Fado, a genre born in the vibrant streets of Lisbon in the 1820s, resonates with mournful melodies and poignant lyrics that evoke feelings of nostalgia and longing, encapsulated in the unique Portuguese word "saudade". In these lively establishments, diners savor delectable meals while immersing themselves in the heartfelt performances that tell stories of the sea and life’s adversities. Prepare for an enchanting evening, as guests remain at their tables from the moment they arrive until the restaurant closes, creating an atmosphere rich with tradition.

In House of Fado, players take on the role of managers striving to create a thriving restaurant. Your mission? Attract customers to experience the magic of fado and recruit talented fadistas and musicians to enhance your establishment’s prestige.

Utilizing innovative gameplay, managers will strategically move their staff to execute various actions, reminiscent of the bump action mechanic in The Gallerist. Foster your restaurant’s reputation and immerse yourself in the melodies of fado as you build a legacy that celebrates the beauty of Portuguese culture.
