About the game

What you do in a play session

Rococo Deluxe: Expert Tailoring is the sharper spin on this fashion classic, adding six brand‑new garments—two of which only work with the Jewelry Box expansion—that will make your tailoring salon more competitive than ever. The premise is simple: you rent pieces, place them on the board, and earn special bonuses that can swing the game in your favor. The game blends a bunch of mechanics you already love: area control (who dominates the biggest salon area scores extra points), deck and bag building (you pick cards from a common pool to assemble your arsenal), hand management (not sure when to play a card? Decide carefully), income (earn money over time to buy pricier pieces), and even open drafting (everyone sees the options and must act fast). Plus, there are end‑game bonuses rewarding those who plan the season well, and set collection that lets you stack similar pieces for points. The theme is pure French chic: elegant clothing, luxurious fabrics, and the atmosphere of a 1700s Parisian atelier. If you love strategy games with style, where aesthetics matter, Rococo Deluxe will delight you. The gameplay lasts 60‑90 minutes, ideal for a relaxed session or a fashion marathon. Set up the board, pick your style, and prove who really masters the art of tailoring!
