Calcada Portuguese Pavement Board Game

In this simple yet multifaceted strategy game for the whole family, the beautifully designed sidewalks of Portugal take center stage. Simple in its gameplay but packed with ingenious details, the winner of this creative tile-laying game for two to four players remains undecided until the very end. The colorful game essentially consists of two quick-to-learn steps: Announcing & Pushing followed by Placement of Calçada Tiles.

Design decorative Portuguese pavements filled with lively streets, cafés, kiosks and public spaces in Calcada. Select patterned tiles from the shared display and arrange them carefully on your personal board to create harmonious coloured areas.

The central carousel uses a mancala-inspired selection system. Move a paving stone around the display, announce its colour and value, then choose a matching Calcada Tile to place on the corresponding numbered space of your board.

Completing a coloured area scores points based on its current value, but that value then decreases for every player. Connected symbols such as benches, people and other street features provide additional points during final scoring.

• Mancala-inspired tile selection: Move paving stones around the central carousel to determine which colour and numbered board space you may use
• Personal pavement layouts: Arrange patterned tiles across your double-sided Calcada Board to create complete coloured areas
• Area values decrease after scoring: Finishing a colour earlier can earn more points before its shared value is reduced
• Symbols create final bonuses: Connect matching street features across neighbouring tiles to improve your end-game score
• Shared display creates competition: Claim useful tiles before another player takes them or changes the available selection
• Two-sided player boards: Choose a common board side during setup to vary the arrangement of coloured pavement areas
