Setup

Set up the main board with the map and timeline, and give each player their starting cards, personal board, and components.

The rules, step by step

Setup
The game of Lacrimosa is set up by placing the main board in the center of the table, featuring the map of Europe and the timeline tracks for the present and past. Players receive personal boards, starting cards, and necessary marker tokens. The deck of composition and event cards are shuffled and placed in their designated zones alongside resource tokens and money.
Objective
Players take on the roles of Mozart's patrons after his death. The main goal is to become his best patron by funding the completion of his Requiem, reminiscing about memories alongside his widow, and supporting his musical career across Europe.
On your turn
During a turn, players select and play cards from their limited hand, utilizing them either as action triggers or resource generators. Players can travel across European cities, sponsor composers to commission and exhibit works, commission missing parts of the Requiem in the present, and relive past events across different historical epochs.
Scoring
Victory points are accumulated through multiple avenues: successfully funding musical works, contributing to the Requiem, traveling to key European locations, collecting memories, and fulfilling specific end-game objective conditions.
Game end
The game concludes after a predetermined number of rounds corresponding to Mozart's timeline. All final points from remaining resources, completed compositions, and bonuses are tallied, and the player with the highest score wins.
Tips
Success in Lacrimosa requires balancing hand management with efficient resource gathering. Plan your travels carefully to coincide with composition opportunities, and ensure you optimize both timeline phases to maximize your scoring potential.
