Welcome to the Rococo era. You are the owner of a distinguished tailoring business. In just a few weeks, Louis XV is hosting a Grand Ball and everyone is clamoring for you to provide them with an elegant frock coat here, a sumptuous gown there, or even a small sum to fund the great fireworks display. You quickly realize that it’s not just about your tailoring business anymore – it’s about creating a presence at the most prestigious ball of the era and the chance to gain everlasting fame and prestige.Each turn, you will play an employee card that allows you to perform a task, such as hiring a new employee for your staff, tailoring exquisite gowns and frock coats to rent or sell, or funding some of the many decorations. However, employees are not always able to perform all tasks, so you must plan carefully how you direct them, especially as each employee grants a unique Bonus — including some that generate prestige.The Grand Ball will end after 7 rounds with a huge fireworks display and final scoring. You will gain prestige points for the gowns and frock coats you have rented out to guests at the ball, certain employee Bonuses, and the festive decorations you have funded. Whoever has collected the most prestige at the end of the game wins.Contents:42 Garment tiles28 Employee cards25 Starting Employee cards1 double-sided Game Board (1-3 players / 4-5 players)1 metal Gold Thimble Start Player token16 polyresin Lace tokens16 polyresin Thread tokens3 Cloth Bags (for Garments, Resources, Jewelry)50 punchboard Coins (20 Value-1, 10 Value-5, 10 Value-10, 10 Value-20)5 wooden Prestige Point counters1 Queen’s Favor tile2 Employee Card Reference sheets48 Resource tiles100 wooden Trademark tokens5 Player Boards5 Tile Racks for Material TilesJewelry Box expansion:

Haven’t played this yet but it’s in good condition
Worried at first but everything was in good condition and it was delivered a day early.This game has been on my radar for a long time and they released a deluxe version so I had to get it. Gameplay is complex but the game mechanics that make up a player’s turn is fairly simple. The iconography could be a bit confusing but this game came with an extremely helpful guide to help you understand it. The production value has an elegant table presence. There is also a solo variant which is another reason I was interested in this game. There’s a lot of gameplay videos on YouTube to check out.

Excellent game, but is costly
This is a great game, and it has such a unique theme. The flow makes total sense, and is easy to teach. The deluxe edition has great components, though I will admit I think the storage box could be better. AFAICT, I don't think this adds a lot to the base rococo, though I haven't played with the jeweler expansion yet. Overall, this is a great game, and the deluxe edition is *very* nice, though it's hard to say that it adds hugely to the experience.
