Colors of Paris places players in the role of painters participating in the artistic challenge Bateau Lavoir in Paris’ Montmartre district. It is a competition among famous Impressionists such as Cézanne, Monet, Renoir, and Toulouse‑Lautrec, where you aim to create the most beautiful masterpieces and rise to artistic fame.
This artistic theme is strongly present throughout the game — from mixing colors to painting canvases — giving it a unique creative charm.

The game is a worker placement experience with an interesting twist:
– The central mechanism is a rotating rondel that determines available actions each round. After every round, the wheel rotates, changing the action locations and requiring careful planning.
– Players send their workers/artists to actions such as:

• collecting paints (blue, red, yellow, …),
• mixing colors into secondary tones,
• painting on the canvas (each painting requires 9 color spaces),
• upgrading their tools and abilities.
  – Progress also takes place through personal boards, where players improve skills: how much paint they collect, how much they can mix, and how much they can add to a painting.
  – The game ends when a player completes three paintings or when five black paints are created (a special scoring element).

The rondel and the limited availability of action spaces create engaging tension, as you must fight for the right action at the right moment. The game is simple enough for newcomers but strategically appealing for experienced players.

Colors of Paris is a charming strategy game that blends creativity and tactics into a vibrant artistic duel. 🎨
