About the game
Prêt-à-Porter is a cutthroat economic strategy game set in the fashion industry. Players build clothing companies, open branches and outlets, hire designers and models, and compete at quarterly fashion shows to win prestigious awards. Every star won pushes rivals further behind, making this one of the more ruthless economic euros around.
Hobbli's Notes
A sharp, aggressive euro with real teeth. The direct competition at fashion shows creates memorable tension, though it's a demanding game that rewards experienced euro-gamers who don't mind a fight.
What we like
- Deep economic engine-building.
- High player interaction and competition.
- Strong thematic fit with the fashion industry.

Keep in mind
- High downtime waiting for other players' turns.
