Luthier: The Art of the Instrument

Luthier: The Art of the Instrument is a standalone strategy board game that turns instrument making into a rich mix of hidden bidding, worker placement, and resource management.

Players lead artisan families in Western Europe during the height of classical music, crafting instruments for patrons, performers, nobles, and composers. Hidden bidding and worker placement drive each round as players decide where to commit their skilled workers. Build and repair instruments, perform music, train apprentices, expand your workshop, and develop your reputation as a master craftsperson. Patrons create an evolving tableau of actions and bonuses, giving each player different paths toward prestige. Designed for 1–4 players ages 14+, Luthier offers a deep, thematic strategy experience in 90–150 minutes. Available now at Boarding School Games—Craft your masterpiece.
