Read the full game description

Águeda: City of Umbrellas celebrates the Portuguese city’s annual Umbrella Sky Project. Players draft umbrella tiles from a shared display and place them along three streets, then move tourists beneath the patterns they want to score. Completing sections unlocks more visitors on a personal tourist map, while shared shop cards reward particular arrangements. The result is an approachable spatial puzzle with just enough competition in the draft to make every splash of color matter.
