About the game
In Rococo: Deluxe Edition you become the owner of a renowned tailoring workshop in 18th‑century France, where fashion is as important as politics. Each turn represents a day of preparation for the Grand Ball, the season’s most anticipated event, and you must allocate your staff to tasks ranging from hiring new employees to embroidering luxurious gowns and funding extravagant decorations. Hand management forces you to carefully choose which action cards to keep, while deck and bag building lets you collect fabric, jewelry, and furniture pieces that can later be used to upgrade production or earn prestige points. The game blends area majority influence with delayed purchases, letting you plan long‑term investments instead of spending everything immediately. After seven rounds, the Grand Ball erupts with fireworks, and final scoring counts rented gowns, funded decorations, and end‑game bonuses for specific achievements. The experience is rich in resource‑flow decisions, combining long‑term strategy with the tension of immediate choices. Rococo: Deluxe Edition features premium components like velvet cloth, silk tokens, and resin jewelry that give the game a stunning visual flair, along with new expansions that deepen the production system. If you enjoy games that demand meticulous planning, resource economics, and a touch of elegance, Rococo delivers an engaging and visually dazzling experience.
