We travel to 18th-century Europe, the golden age of classical music. Players step into the shoes of master craftsmen specialized in the construction of musical instruments. Your patrons will be influential nobles, virtuoso performers, and renowned composers such as Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart. To win, you must achieve the highest possible reputation by crafting and repairing instruments in your workshop while satisfying the demands of prestigious patrons. Will you have the skill required to become the most celebrated luthier in all of Europe?
This is how we are introduced to Luthier, a design by Dave Beck (Distilled) and Abe Burson (his debut game). First published in 2025 by Paverson Games in an English edition following a successful crowdfunding campaign. The artwork is handled by Vincent Dutrait (Heat, Quest for El Dorado) and Guillaume Tavernier (Le Grand Voyage, One Card Wonder).
