📖 About This Game
Fresco: The Bishop's Favor, a promotional item from Queen Games for Spiel 2011 and included in the Big Box and MegaBox, consists of 25 small tiles and rules. The Bishop's Favor can also be referenced as Module 11.
At the start of the game, these tiles are placed face-down, randomized and placed one per fresco tile on the game board. Whenever a player completes a fresco tile where the bishop is currently located, the player claims both the fresco tile and the favor tile – which is revealed and grants an immediate reward of paint (red, blue, yellow), money (1 or 5), one VP, or one mood improvement.
If a player completes a fresco tile where the bishop is not located, the favor tile is removed from the game face-down with no benefit for anyone.
