Barcelona: The Rose of Fire is a board game for 2-4 players, where players compete for social prestige and personal wealth, while trying to avoid the rebellion spreading through the city.
Players take turns using cards to influence the construction of buildings (tiles) in the new city, outside the old medieval walls. The more impressive and grand the construction, the more reputation it earns. However, this development attracts workers residing in much cheaper areas. Building high-class buildings, while rewarding in terms of prestige, can cause unrest among the lower classes. To prevent strikes and riots, players must also construct buildings for the popular classes.
During the construction phase, players place workers in the Raval area, depending on the type of buildings they are constructing. At the end of each season, all these workers are placed into a bag, along with peacekeeping soldiers. Based on the level of unrest, a number of these figures are drawn from the bag, and the player with the most figures of a certain color suffers a strike.
