Positano

Are you looking for relaxing days spent living off of room service and gelato, taking beachside walks and enjoying the natural beauty all around you? Build a home for those dreams with Positano!

In Positano, you’ll be constructing a series of resorts in a small cliffside town on the Amalfi coast of Italy. Each round, you’ll compete in bids with other players for lots to build on, blocks to build with, and the quality of the buildings you’ll construct. At the end of the game, only blocks with a clear view of the sea will score points for their players, so you’ll have to plan carefully!

The Beach Board hosts the tiles that players will competitively bid for every round. The tiles a player wins during the bidding phase determine where they will build, how many blocks they will add to their supply before they do, and how they will build this round.

Bid thoughtfully, bid efficiently! When a round of play begins, you’ll choose one bid card and one bid boost card to place face-down on the table in front of you. These cards will determine the values used to rank who chooses a tile first in each category; Lot Tiles, then Block Tiles, and finally Build Tiles.

The quality of a building is indicated by its rooftop, and determines the points awarded per block of the building with a seaside view during final scoring. Cheap, copper-roofed buildings award 1 point per block that has a view of the coast, Standard silver ones award 2, and Luxury gold-roofed buildings award 3 points per block (again – IF that block has a view of the beautiful blue water!)

If someone builds a cheap high-rise in front of your luxury villa and ruins your views, well, that’s life, isn’t it? But it’s also going to lower your final score, so avoid this fate if you can…or build your way to petty revenge by blocking their expensive resorts!

This is just a small preview of the game, the theme, and the kind of strategic decisions you’ll have to make during play to win. Late pledges are open if you’d like to secure your copy early!
