	Description Edit \| History

The opera 'Turandot' is about to go on stage, but who will sing the aria 'Nessun dorma' is still a mystery! Can you recruit the best and most talented cast of singers to perform this masterpiece of the maestro Giacomo Puccini? Choosing a brilliant director may be your most important choice!

A quick card-game for 3-5 players (with a 2 player variant). Based on the Nessun Dorma lyrical aria by Giacomo Puccini, Turandot requires the players to gather a team of six singers in order to enact that very piece of the Turandot. Players recruit singers and a director using a simultaneous selection mechanic, with an original twist.

Turandot won the Lucca Games Award in 2009 for best unpublished games: "Miglior Gioco Inedito" and has been published by daVinci Games in october 2009.

Artwork by professional illustrator Martino Palladini.
