Russian-speaking connoisseurs of classical music should slowly prepare to purchase the board game "Luthier", thanks to which they will be able to visit 18th century Europe, create instruments in the workshop, and also earn the favor of patrons and the love of listeners.
Choo Choo Games Publishing House announced that its next pre-order will be the board game "Luthier", designed for 1–4 people and raised $790,541 (63,349,038 rubles) on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform.
This project will transport participants to 18th century Europe, where, as one of the noble families, they will try to write their own musical history, earn the favor of patrons and the love of listeners.
In "Luthier", players perform a set of actions to get as many victory points as possible. Actions are carried out by placing workers of different strengths using hidden bids.
Players will have to visit salons and workshops to get blueprints of instruments and new patrons, create instruments in their workshop (on a personal tablet), fight for influence on performers in the orchestra pit and receive awards for a virtuoso performance on stage.
A deluxe version of the game "Luthier" will be available for pre-order. You will have to pay 8690 rubles for it. All pre-order participants will receive a promo pack from Kickstarter – 11 new cards of patrons and instruments. The game is likely to arrive at the warehouse in November 2026.
In addition, it is possible that Choo Choo Games will be able to negotiate before the start of pre-order for additional accessories for the game that were on Kickstarter and sold separately.
