The rules, step by step
Setup
In Prêt-à-Porter, each player receives a personal player board, randomized starting designs based on assigned clothing types, a starting capital of $40, and three workers to place on the main board during worker placement phases.
Objective
The main objective is to establish yourself as the premier fashion designer by building up your company, producing trendy collections, and winning prestigious quarterly fashion shows to accumulate the most combined victory points and money by the end of the game.
On your turn
A complete game spans 12 rounds representing a full year of fashion. Each round is divided into a planning phase where workers are placed on various board locations to acquire loans, contracts, buildings, employees, designs, and materials. This is followed by a growth phase for training and upgrades, an upkeep phase to pay salaries and loan interest, and periodic fashion shows.
Scoring
Scoring takes place during quarterly fashion shows held every third round. Players showcase collections meeting specific thematic requirements and are judged across multiple categories such as quality, public relations, trendiness, and collection size, earning prestige tokens and bonus cash.
Game end
The game concludes after the 12th round and the fourth quarterly fashion show. All remaining loans must be repaid, and unpayable loans result in immediate elimination. Final scores are tallied by converting all remaining cash into victory points 1-to-1 and adding them to your prestige score.
Tips
Careful financial planning is critical since upkeep costs escalate quickly. Avoid taking too many loans unless absolutely necessary, as the 40% interest rate can easily bankrupt you. Pay attention to upcoming trends and time your employee training and building purchases to maximize your scores during quarterly fashion shows.
