Modern day markets offers to their visitors various kind of stands, restaurants, and services. In Mercado de Lisboa, players buy stands in the market, open new businesses that influence those stands, and bring customers to them. Mercado de Lisboa is a thinky filler title, a tile-placement game based upon the Lisboa city-building system in which players pay money to own stands in the market, open restaurants next to them to improve their profit and bring in customers that earn money for players with matching stands. Mercado de Lisboa is a fast-paced game, very straightforward and easy to learn rules with deep tactical choices.
