The first board game dedicated to Oradea's Art Nouveau heritage, "House of Buttons", will be presented to the public in July, through five workshops organized at Casa Darvas-La Roche.

Inspired by Oradea in 1910, the game puts participants in the role of site managers coordinating the construction of the Darvas-La Roche House.

Along the way, players discover building materials, decorative elements, and artisans' workshops from the period of development of the Art Nouveau style. The concept and documentation of the game belong to Deodáth Zuh, and the graphics were made by Dan Munteanu.

"It is an educational game. The participants will learn a lot while playing. You are, in fact, the builder of the Darvas House.

This idea of throwing dice and collecting tiles, Lincrust or mosaics is interesting. Oradea Heritage does real things, not just talk. I wonder if it will be possible to buy it normally after the workshops in July, because I would like to check it out with my grandchildren.

The game sounds fun, especially rolling the dice and landing on a ridge tile or the Lincrusta tapestry while building Darvas House. I like that it's educational without being boring. Does anyone know if after the July workshops it will be possible to buy it in the Casa Darvas-La Roche store?

Sounds like a really nice game. I like the idea of rolling the dice and cards for Lincrusta wallpaper or glass mosaics, as you learn something about the craftsmen of 1910 while building Casa Darvas. Can you also buy it afterwards?

This game sounds interesting. I liked that you say that with the dice you collect title cards, Lincrusta or glass mosaic while "building" Casa Darvas. I would like to know if after the workshops in July it will be possible to buy it normally.
