Notre Dame: 10th Anniversary

The 10th anniversary edition of Notre Dame: draft action cards and lead a family in medieval Paris.

This is the 10th anniversary edition of Notre Dame (original 2007), boxed with the New Persons expansion from the alea Treasure Chest and a fresh set of nine new characters. You head a powerful family in Paris at the end of the 14th century, working in the shadow of the cathedral. Each of the 3 to 5 boroughs belongs to a family, and you use action cards to raise your power and prestige, while leaving the rats and plague unchecked will punish you. Cards are drafted and played in a rotating hand, with area majority and movement between points on the map. A good-looking, well-balanced classic for up to five.

Who it's for

You want a classic card-driven euro with tight decisions and a neat package of extras in one box.

Not for you if…

You own the original and its expansions already, or you want a heavier, more sprawling game.

Vibe's take

Elegant and tight. Each turn you pick one action card from your hand and the rest of your hand moves on to your neighbour, so you are constantly choosing which good option to abandon. The rats loom as a punishment for neglect.
