You must be logged in to post a review.
The dazzling boulevards and historical monuments of Paris have been enveloped by lush vegetation. The once bustling city hub has been hushed to stillness following an apocalyptic event and your goal is to forge a new future. Equip your shelter, manage your resources, and rally a community of various survivors, all while making your way through the jungle cityscape.
Paris: New Eden features a clever dice-drafting mechanism that allows you to recruit survivors. Over the span of one year, you will endeavor to build your shelter and overcome the array of obstacles that you encounter along the way. The dice allow you to recruit survivors of different types: tinkerers, brawlers, healers, sages, farmers, jacks-of-all-trades, or even useless survivors. At the end of each season, your survivors allow you to bid to improve your shelter. These survivors are recruited in five key areas and central squares of the Paris that we know, each one with different abilities:
The train station, which lets you grow your community faster
The restaurant, to collect food to feed your community
The tower, to choose the goals you can fulfill
The center, which gives you access to special equipment
The bridge, to gain access to new missions
Players score points by recruiting survivors and feeding them, by fulfilling objectives from the tower, and by completing secret missions acquired at the bridge. At winter’s end, the player who has accumulated the most victory points wins. The future of Paris is in your hands!

Finalement sorti de la pile des jeux auxquels on avait pas joué depuis longtemps. Très, très bonne (re)découverte. Le jeu n'est pas punitif (la gestion de la nourriture est... étrange : si pas assez pour tout le monde, c'est pas grave) mais l'envie de refaire des parties est vraiment présente !

Beautiful dice drafting game in which players draft dice to use to bid on various buildings that are randomly put out each round. I'm usually a big fan of variability but I thought that this one just had too much randomness and created some combinations of workers being much stronger than others, especially since not all buildings are even helpful. I did really appreciate that the artwork stayed away from the usual bleak, post-apocalyptic look and that feeding your workers gives you a bonus instead of a penalty. There are some good mechanisms in this game but ultimately there is too much randomness for me to return to it again and again.

Nice art and good tactical game, kind of inverse worker placement. very light tableau building, mostly about getting majorities.
