Overview

Restore the glory of a city reborn from disaster!

In 1755, a devastating earthquake struck the city of Lisbon, followed by a massive tsunami and raging fires that reduced the city to ashes. Out of the ruins rose a grand vision — to rebuild Lisboa stronger, more beautiful, and more organized than ever before.

As a noble of the Portuguese court, you must gain the favor of King José I and his three powerful ministers — the Marquis de Pombal, the Minister of the Navy, and the Archbishop — to secure resources, rebuild the city, and restore the pride of Portugal’s capital.

Plan wisely, manage your influence, and balance politics, commerce, and construction to leave your mark on Lisboa’s rebirth.
