Pessoa Board Game, English, Portuguese. and Spanish

Description

Portuguese

Fernando Pessoa (June 13, 1888 – November 30, 1935) was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, editor, and philosopher, described as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets of all time. Pessoa was a prolific writer—and not just under his own name, as he created approximately seventy-five others. He didn't call them all pseudonyms because he felt some didn't capture his true independent intellectual life, and instead called them heteronyms.

In Pessoa's world, he is one of Pessoa's most famous heteronyms—Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, Álvaro de Campos, and Bernardo Soares—and moves between the metaphysical space of Pessoa's mind and the physical spaces of Lisbon to find inspiration in iconic cafes, visit bookstores to expand his library and knowledge, and seek inspiration to write poems, thus scoring victory points. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.

In more detail, Pessoa is a worker placement game with special rules in which players can place their heteronyms, since each player is a different heteronym, but all players are also the same physical person, that is, Fernando Pessoa.

The game comes with two modules that can be switched on and off as desired by the player. If you play only the basic game, Pessoa performs well as an advanced family game, with simple rules but interesting decisions and a more tactical nature. With the modules, Pessoa becomes a more complex game, where extra layers of strategy combine to offer a rich experience that attempts to shed light on the complex figure that was Fernando Pessoa.

The game's rulebook includes historical notes to explain how the theme and mechanics are interconnected, providing you with accurate historical context about this extraordinary poet and his metaphysical creations, each with its own personality and writing style: his heteronyms. We hope that, by the end of your first game, we will have sparked your interest in learning more about Fernando Pessoa and his poetry.
