Stephens the boardgame
THEME
In 1755, with a major earthquake destroying Lisbon and most of the southern coast of Portugal, it was imperative to rebuild an entire nation. The need for glass for windows increased to such an extent that William Stephens, a British entrepreneur, expanded his business to Portugal by investing in the glass industry. In 1769, Stephens bought the glass factory located in Marinha Grande, a small town surrounded by a vast pine forest planted in sand centuries before. With the significant support of the Marquis of Pombal and the protection of King José I, this glass factory grew to the same level as its major European competitors and became an important factor in the development of the region and the country.
OBJECTIVE

In 1769, William Stephens, a British industrial businessman, bought the glass factory in Marinha Grande, a small town surrounded by a huge pine forest planted in the sand.
This special lcoation, the prominent support of the Marquis of Pombal and the protection of King José 1, made the factory grow, reaching the same level of Europe's largest competitors becoming an important development factor for the whole region and the entire nation of Portugal.
William and his brother John, with their strong civic education, were able to create an unprecedented industry regarding medical care, education and culture for the workers and their families.
Much more thean one factory, the Stephens created a village.
Even under the destructive and oppressive Napoleonic invasion, the city held out and, withe the impule of the royal glass factory, returned to the path of the great industrial center that still exists today!
