Couture Board Game - Card Game - Auction Game - 20 Minute Play Time - 3 to 6 Players (Couture Base Game)

FASHION - Brenna twisted the script compared to other fashion games. In Couture, you aren't designing clothes. You play the role of the model, earning the right to wear the best designs. And to top it all off, the art is fantastic. DEVELOPMENT - We made three gameplay changes from the original Golden Animal: The player count has been expanded from 5 to 6 players. More cards can be played to each city at higher player counts, and more variety has been added to each card's scoring conditions. AUCTION - The auction in Couture is different than normal because you are doing three auctions at once. Also, win or lose, you get your bid cards back. The auction sets draft order, so coming in second or third is still valuable. Simultaneous auctions. Wear looks that complete sets. Gain notoriety. Score points by fashion! Small box game, 20 minute playing time, 3-6 players

Every turn, there are three simultaneous auctions. You can’t win them all. But can you win the right ones? Compete to model different types of fashion, each with its own scoring criteria.

Each turn, new cards will be available in each of the three cities. All players simultaneously make secret bids in each city using their influence card. The player who bids the most in a particular city gets the first pick in that city. Second most, second pick, and so on.

Some of the cards you collect will give you immediate points. Others will replace influence cards in your hand, giving you more bidding power. However, most of the cards help you compete for magazine covers (via different majorities and set collection mechanics), which score big points at the end of the game.

The model with the highest score after seven rounds wins the game and, with it, all the fame of a global spotlight!
