Luthier The Art Of The Instrument

Pre-Ordering is the best way to guarantee and secure the purchase of an item upon its release. If an item is marked as Pre-Order, it will ship on the manufacturer's release date. Pre-Order dates are subject to change. Any changes to the release date will be posted on the product's page.

What if an order includes both pre-order and in-stock items?

The entire order will only be shipped when the pre-ordered item is released. If you don't want this to happen, please place two separate orders. If you pre-order products with 2 different release dates, the same policy applies - we will ship the entire order at the latest release date.

As an Authorized Internet Retailer for Upper Deck & Wizards of the Coast, we are only able to sell newly released Upper Deck & Wizards of the Coast products within Canada until 1 year after the release date of the product.

 Luthier transports players to the height of classical music in Western Europe, when the art of the instrument was upheld equally by skilled craftspeople, noble patrons, virtuoso performers, and famous composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Using a new, unique combination of hidden bidding and worker placement, players manage resources to craft various musical instruments in their workshop, while also courting actual historic patrons through an ever-changing personal tableau of actions and bonuses. Each player chooses how to balance improving skills across multiple tracks, unlocking specialized worker abilities and other bonuses. The choice to concentrate on varying gameplay strategies and goals, such as musical performances, instrument building and repairs, apprentice training and workshop expansion, and overall reputation as an instrument maker, provide multiple paths to victory.

Luthier finds true harmony through an authentic and original marriage of theme and mechanisms, resulting in a rich gameplay experience that equally speaks to both the strategic gamer and the classical music lover.

Features:

• Mechanics: Hidden bidding worker placement, engine building, recipe fulfillment, resource management, and area control.
