1980 Sixtina
Players take the roles of art restorers working on the Sistine Chapel during the 1980 restoration effort. On each turn, players allocate tools and workers to different chapel sections, apply restoration techniques called for by Vatican guidelines, and choose when to follow or deviate from institutional criteria. Actions affect the visible condition of frescoes and generate points from expert appraisal and institutional approval. The game balances meticulous planning and tactical risk: following official protocols yields steady rewards, while controversial interventions can earn higher expert valuation but risk Vatican disfavor. Play resolves after a set number of rounds and scores compare conservational success, artistic fidelity, and reputational standing.
