A card-driven deckbuilder about juggling art, love, and rent in turn-of-the-century Paris.
Who it's for
Fans of engine-building card games who enjoy a strong theme and meaningful sequencing decisions, plus anyone drawn to the romantic, bohemian art-world setting.
Not for you if…
You want a light, breezy filler — the card sequencing and deck management ask for real attention each round, and downtime can build if players overthink their day plan.
Vibe's take
Thoughtful and a bit tense — you're always weighing today's routine against tomorrow's deck, deciding whether chasing your muse now pays off later or whether you can afford to skip work again.
Bohemians casts you as a struggling artist wandering fin-de-siècle Paris, chasing inspiration between dates, social events, meetings with your muse, and the day job that pays the rent. Each round you plan your day by playing cards from your hand, carefully sequencing them for maximum bonuses before spending your earned inspiration to buy new habits, muses, and career achievements. The artist who collects the most achievements wins.
