About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of the Barcelona board game, get ready to give your tabletop a luxury upgrade! Barcelona: Passeig de Gràcia takes us straight to the most iconic and charming avenue in the Eixample district. You know that elegant promenade vibe, filled with cafes, theaters, and modernist architecture that makes the city shine? Well, now you can manage it up close.
First things first: this is an expansion, not a standalone game—so make sure you have the base game ready to go! The big highlight here is the introduction of pedestrians. Imagine that while you are busy planning the city's growth, you now also need to consider the flow of people walking along the Passeig de Gràcia. These pedestrians aren't just wandering aimlessly; they are looking for amenities, and your goal is to ensure their stroll is as pleasant as possible.
The better structured the path and the more attractive the services you provide along the way, the bigger the rewards you'll reap when they finally reach their destination. It's a delightful strategic layer that shifts the game's rhythm, adding new incentives to optimize your urban planning. Instead of just building for the sake of building, you start thinking about the well-being of those moving through your city, turning the Passeig de Gràcia into a true tourist hotspot. It's exactly the kind of content that brings freshness without breaking the soul of the original game, perfect for players looking for more depth and new scoring avenues!
