ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
The Salazar family has owned La Náutica for generations—a restaurant that has surpassed the taste and composition of any establishment in the city. Rising up from a hole in the wall to an elegant must-see, La Náutica has been through a lot. Every dish is created with recipes handed down and constantly improved; the kitchen sizzles with the stress that comes from constantly pursuing—and sometimes achieving— perfection.

Between the steam and the clattering of pots will love taste as perfect as it looks?

El Sabor Del Amor is a reboot of a previous telenovela from the early 80s, but this version has already dramatically changed course by keeping a much lighter feel than the sometimes crushing original. It’s only been 20 episodes, but with the introduction of the love-to-hate-them villain from the original show, the charming real estate developer here to purchase La Náutica from underneath the Salazar family, everyone has an opinion on the restaurant’s future!

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Pasión de las Pasiones is a game of passion, drama, secrets, delights, and heated conflict. In Pasión de las Pasiones, you and your friends will play out the stories of the greatest telenovela ever to air!

You’ll play through stories with dramatic reveals, explosive confrontations, faked deaths, and more!
