Description Edit | History

A tale of dynasty building in 18th century France, where you step into the shoes of a French noble, and compete for lasting honor.

Over three generations, you - a patriarch/matriarch - will attempt to create a lasting legacy by establishing a family linked to many different wealthy and powerful families.

Background story
It is 1729, pre-revolution France, a time in which the aristocracy still rules in France. In the most fashionable salons of the day, a group of young nobles is boasting about their family and what wonders the future holds for them. Each one of them has taller tales about how powerful they will make their family, and how they will be the patriarch/matriarch of the most famous family in town within three generations. Aggrieved by the others' audacity, each noble storms off in an opposity direction, determined to prove that their family will achieve most fame.


Game type: Worker placement meets Race for the Galaxy (hand management and paying with cards)
Attraction: Tons of replayability and theme, many different paths to victory, and (some) player interaction
