Rococo Deluxe Edition | Eagle-Gryphon Games – Prestige-Building Strategy Board Game

Experience Rococo Deluxe Edition

Step into the opulent world of the Rococo era with Eagle-Gryphon Games’ deluxe strategy game. In this 2–5 player affair, you run a distinguished tailoring house as the Grand Ball approaches. Your goal is to win prestige by crafting gowns and frock coats, renting garments to guests, and funding dazzling decorations for the grand fireworks finale. The game concludes after seven rounds, and the player who accumulates the most prestige earns coveted recognition at the ball.

The tension blends with theme as you balance fashion, staffing, and resources. Each playthrough presents a different path to prestige, inviting you to orchestrate a unique story of style and strategy without sacrificing table banter and competition.

How you play

In Rococo Deluxe Edition, every player starts with an identical deck of Employee cards. Each round, all players secretly select three cards to use, then reveal simultaneously. The chosen cards determine which actions you can take—hiring staff, tailoring garments, renting outfits, or funding decorations. The combination you pick shapes your round and nudges your strategy toward short-term gains or longer-term prestige.

• Masters can take any action, enabling bold, decisive plays.
• Apprentices and Journeymen have action restrictions, creating meaningful trade-offs and timing challenges.

This setup fosters lively interaction and strategic planning, as you anticipate rivals’ choices while building your own path to the podium.
