Devir Paris board game

Step back in time and light up the streets of Paris with DEVIR´s Paris: La Cité de la Lumière, the enchanting 2-player board game where brilliant strategy and 19th-century glamour walk hand in hand. This captivating title transports you to the heart of the 1889 “World’s Fair” in Paris, a moment in history when modern inventions were unveiled to an astonished world. One of the most dazzling of these was electricity, used to illuminate the city´s streets and boulevards. This innovation earned the city its eternal nickname, the City of Lights, or “La Cité de la Lumiére”. Now, you have the chance to be a part of that magical transformation.

In this competitive and visually stunning game, you and your opponent vie for architectural and electrical supremacy. Paris: La Cité de la Lumière is played over two distinct phases, offering a duel of wits that is both accessible and deeply strategic. In the first phase, you will carefully place cobblestone tiles on the game board. These tiles feature your color, your opponent´s color, or a neutral mix, allowing you to cleverly stake your claim on the most promising areas of the city grid while tactically blocking your rival. Every tile placement is a crucial decision that will shape the landscape for the rest of the game.

The second phase is where the city truly comes to life. Now, you will construct magnificent buildings on the cobblestone spaces you claimed in the first phase. The goal is to place your buildings in a way that they are bathed in the glow of as many newfangled streetlights as possible. The more light your buildings receive, the more points you will earn. You will also be rewarded for creating the largest contiguous group of your own buildings, showcasing your dominance as Paris´s premier architect. To add another layer of intrigue, players can utilize the abilities of iconic Parisian figures through special action postcards, granting powerful one-time advantages that can turn the tide of the game.

With its gorgeous artwork that evokes the spirit of the era and gameplay that is easy to learn but offers immense replayability, Paris: La Cité de la Lumière is the perfect choice for a compelling game night. Outwit your opponent, harness the power of light, and build a legacy that will shine forever in the heart of Paris.
