About the game
What you do in a play session
Bretagne is a worker placement game that takes you to the coast of 19th-century Brittany, where you and your friends compete to build iconic lighthouses. The game blends strategy and decision-making: you can use resources to build, trade cards or money, and hire workers and engineers to strengthen your position. The big twist is choosing between scoring immediately when you build or risking waiting for the lighthouse's final evaluation, where points can be higher. But beware: waiting can also grant you extra bonuses by sending workers to the ports. With mechanics like hand management, area influence, and variable player powers, Bretagne is a challenge that demands planning and adaptation. Who will dominate the coast?
