Paris 1889 (2020)

About this game

Paris 1889 is a co-operative narrative game, a follow-up to Greenville 1989 in which each player represents a character who has survived the supernatural events of Greenville and decides, ten years later, to investigate further by going back in time to find and hopefully close the gate to the monsters realm. With illustrated cards, they must describe these events to their fellow players, who must then locate this character and plan actions. This lead role changes each round, giving everyone the chance to be step up. The game concludes with a Boss battle.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 16 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
