About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of Paris and feel like your games need that extra 'spark' to keep things fresh, this Game Brewer Promo Pack is a fascinating find. But a quick heads-up: don't mistake this for a standalone game! This is a promotional item, originally released to help the publisher offset rising ocean freight costs, but it brings a very specific piece of content to your table.
The star of the show is a new air balloon card. Sounds small? In a game like Paris, every detail matters. The mechanic introduced is a bidding war: players compete to win a prestigious hot air balloon ride over the streets of the French capital. It’s that perfect opportunity to boost your score or simply inject a layer of competitive interaction that can shift the momentum of a round.
Even though it's a minor addition, it fits seamlessly into the aesthetic and gameplay flow for those who have mastered the main title. It's a perfect supplement for players looking to expand their strategic options and add an element of chance and direct competition through bidding. If you're looking for variety without having to learn an entirely new system, this little card might be your next power move. Just remember: you'll definitely need the Paris base game to get this balloon off the ground!
