Players are acting like artisans. They have to restore a fresco in a Renaissance church.
Each player starts with 5 workers and has to plan their work, day by day.
The game has a modular structure giving the players the opportunity to decide how ambitiously they want to play.
New features such as deciding one's own wake-up time (and therefore one's mood for the rest of the day ;-) will make this game unique.
The modular structure will attract casual as well as experienced players.

Fresco Mini Player Aids - with the 1st expansions
I noticed the 2nd heading TURN ORDER should have been ENDING CONDITIONS, so this file corrects that mistake.

Fresco Player Guide merged with the First Expansions
This is version 1.1
I've realised that there were some vital rules that I need to add in.
1. When the End Round starts, all players must flip their Action boards over the Side 2.
2. After painting a Fresco, move the bishop to the empty space that was just painted.
