Vidrado is a board game released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 25–30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by João Quintela Martins and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Open Drafting, and Contracts.
In Vidrado, players are workers at a small craft factory specialized in decorative tiles. Each player aspires to move up the corporate ladder and become the next plant manager. For that, they need to be tested at all the stages in the manufacturing process of Portuguese tiles, starting from clay modelling up to order delivery. The one who has the best performance in all these areas (more victory points) will get the much desired promotion. The production level a player can achieve in the various stages of tile creation is very important. Players have to play cards in order to: Manage resources Model clay Glaze tiles Draw tiles Paint tiles Fulfill orders Players should never neglect the oldest employees in the factory. Their knowledge is precious and can be of great help. Master Alfredo will always be available to give his best advice. —description from the designer No jogo de cartas Vidrado o jogador encarna o papel de um trabalhador de uma pequena fábrica artesanal de azulejos.

Vidrado supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Vidrado is 25–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Vidrado for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Vidrado has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
