Pret-a-Porter - A fashion industry strategy board game

Pret-a-Porter is an economic strategy board game set in the glamorous fashion industry. Players become fashion company owners and manage their businesses over the course of a year (12 rounds), aiming to achieve success in quarterly fashion shows.

This remake of the classic economics board game features beautiful artwork by renowned artist Kwanchai Moriya and is a heavy Euro game with a unique theme of the fashion industry that has earned it the support of many board game fans.

Game flow and objectives

The game is divided into 12 rounds (each month) that represent a year, with quarters of three months each, and at the end of each quarter, a fashion show is held to showcase the results of players' efforts.

Each round, players make the following business decisions:

• Conclusion of short-term contracts
• Company facility expansion
• Hiring talented employees
• Creating innovative designs
• Procurement of high-quality materials

At the same time, you will need to regularly pay maintenance costs such as employee salaries and building rent. If you are short of funds, you can take out a loan from a bank or financial company, but you will be obligated to repay the loan, so careful consideration is required.

At the fashion show at the end of the quarter, each player will present the collection they have prepared and will be evaluated on factors such as quality, trends, PR activities, etc. A high evaluation will increase the prestige of the company and allow them to sell their collection at a higher price.

The ultimate goal of the game is to accumulate the most cash and victory points at the end of 12 rounds. Use your business strategy and creativity to build the most successful company in the fashion industry.

Game Features

• Realistic economic simulation: It incorporates elements of real business management, including balancing income and expenditure, investment decisions, and risk management.

Detailed game mechanics

Each Working Round, new Contract, Building, and Employee cards are revealed, and players compete to acquire them.
