Paneveggio

Paneveggio – Craft the finest violins, note by note

In Paneveggio, you play as a young Renaissance luthier striving to match the legendary masters of violin making. Every action is a note on the score of your artisan life: harvest wood from the Paneveggio Forest, assemble your instruments, train apprentices, and sell your creations to the most prestigious musicians in Europe. Your goal: to build a reputation worthy of names like Stradivarius and Amati.

How to play Paneveggio

A game of Paneveggio unfolds over several rounds, divided into two main sequences: Workshop and Conservation.

• During the Workshop Sequence, you compose your turn like a melody: each action — crafting wood, training an apprentice, restoring a violin, or making a sale — corresponds to a note placed on your personal score. The order and intensity of these notes determine the strength of your actions and the combos they create.
• During the Conservation Sequence, you maintain your instruments and refine your plans for the next round, as violins wear down and wood ages over time.

With these two alternating phases, you must find the right tempo between immediate production and long-term craftsmanship. Apprentice cards enrich your play: they can either be used for their individual effects or to enhance an ongoing action. The game ends when a player crafts their twelfth violin — that player wins.
