In Notre Dame, you step into the shoes of an influential family head in 14th-century Paris, vying for prestige and prosperity in the shadow of the magnificent cathedral. Each player oversees one of the boroughs surrounding Notre Dame, using a clever action card system to bolster their family's power and reputation. But beware! The city teeters on the brink of a plague epidemic, and neglecting the health of your citizens can lead to severe penalties, not to mention an unwelcome influx of rats. The game unfolds over nine exciting rounds, where every decision carries weight. The core mechanic is an original and straightforward card play system that allows you to permanently enhance your influence in your borough. However, each turn demands tough choices: focusing on one area inevitably means neglecting another. And, amidst the growing threat of the plague, ignoring public health can be fatal to your ambitions. The goal is to accumulate the most prestige points by the end of the nine rounds. The player who best balances family advancement with protection against the plague will emerge victorious. It's a game that keeps you thinking with every move, with consequences that ripple throughout the match, ensuring a strategic and engaging experience.
