Paris: New Eden
45m - 45m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 10+
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!

A fun dice drafting game with a decent amount of strategy. You get the action of where you take the dice from, which have a preset number at each location, making for a very balanced approach overall. Great artwork and production quality. Interesting mix of ways to get victory points. A touch light, but very fun to play.

An excellent little dice drafter. Amazing art and theme really breathe the world to life. Gameplay has some fighting for set majority and some tableau building to ensure your survivors can fend off the natural disaster of the next season. Has some really interesting set collection mechanics with tokens that function as a set item one turn then turn into a survivor the next to help build your base.

Too much randomness (for my taste) in the draw of survivors that come out and the dice rolls. one example is one total farmer across three cards on round one. The next round had 3, 2, and 2 farmers on it. Is particularly difficult for new players to assess without knowing the contents of the deck and having it vary so much.
