Barcelona is a strategic city-building eurogame set in the heart of 19th-century Spain, during a transformative period in urban planning. Step into the role of visionary builders helping expand the city beyond its ancient walls, inspired by the ambitious Eixample project designed by Ildefons Cerdà—widely regarded as the father of modern urbanism.
In this immersive euro-style board game, players construct residential buildings, extend streets and tram lines, and develop public services to support the city’s growing population. As the game progresses, you’ll also embrace the cultural rise of Modernisme, a unique architectural movement that adds both strategic depth and aesthetic flair to your city.
Every turn presents a rich variety of actions and choices. With three scoring phases and a final end-game tally, timing and planning are essential. Victory points are earned through clever urban development, completed Modernisme projects, and efficient management of your player board.
