## Description
Imagine Paris, but forget the romance and the croissants. Here, the City of Light has been swallowed by an unforgiving urban jungle following an apocalyptic event. In Paris: New Eden, you won't be strolling by the Eiffel Tower; you'll be trying to survive it! Your goal is straightforward yet challenging: build a secure shelter, manage scarce resources, and rally a community of survivors to forge a new future amidst the green chaos.

The heart of the game lies in its clever dice-drafting mechanism. Through strategic selection, you traverse iconic city locations to recruit survivors with unique skill sets. Need a farmer to secure food? A sage for strategic depth? Or perhaps a brawler to handle trouble? The choice is yours. Each Parisian landmark offers a specific advantage: the train station helps your community grow faster, the restaurant focuses on food, the tower sets your objectives, and the bridge provides secret missions.

But it's not just about gathering people. You'll need to use your survivors to participate in bidding rounds to upgrade your shelter at the end of each season. It's a resource management game with a dash of tension, where every die roll could mean the difference between a thriving community and a group of useless survivors. If you enjoy mid-weight games with immersive themes and selection mechanics that demand constant attention, get ready to reclaim France, one die at a time!
