Description Description
Paris is a two-player board game by José Antonio Abascal infused with Parisian aesthetics by the boardgame’s artist Oriol Hernández. The game is set in late 19th century Paris during the 1889 “Exposition Universelle,” or world’s fair, when public electricity was a hot topic. Electricity spread throughout the city, creating today’s beautiful nocturnal Parisian streets and coining Paris’s nickname “La Cité de la Lumiére”, the city of lights.

The most well-lit buildings are admired more highly by passers-by. In the first phase, players can either place tiles or grow their reserve of buildings. The cobblestone tiles are divided into 4 random spaces (their color, their opponents’ color, a streetlight or a mixed-color space where either player can build).

Then, in the second phase, players build on top of their color or the mixed spaces, in effort to position their buildings as close to as many streetlights as possible. More streetlights solicit more adoration and points. The player with the best lit buildings steals the hearts of Parisian pedestrians and wins the game.

Me lo regaló su autor (Jose el cántabro) en una sesión del BdC el 10/09/2021. Había probado hacía tiempo el prototipo y en otras ocasiones he jugado prototipos de Jose, y siempre me regala una copia de sus juegos. Es un gran tipo. Como parece que no hay mucha posibilidad e jugarlo, pero está dedicado por Jose y no me iba a deshacer de él, lo llevé a Nuevo Parque el 30/11/2025

Excepcional en todo. Reglas sencillas. Corto. Profundo. Expandible. Familiar. Precioso. Divertidisimo. Si fuera alemán ya estaría en el top 100. Debería llevarse todos los premios de 2020.

Just lovely! Exquisite design and production/components, simple to learn and yet still interesting gameplay with variety every time. For a lighter, shorter smaller box game this is my idea of perfect.

Este jueguito te da mucha diversión en la misma caja que es el tablero, colocación de losetas que te recuerda al tetris pero debes ir planeado cada paso al futuro. Visualmente es muy bonito y la estrategia es sin igual.
