“Is there anyone who agrees to go from Peking to Paris in the next summer by car?”
Five daring crews with their cars left Peking for Paris on June 10th, 1907, to take up this incredible challenge: a 10,000 miles long trip over trails and mule tracks, across the mountains of China, the Gobi Desert, and the Russian steppes.
Pékin-Paris is a card-driven boardgame for 2-5 players that puts you behind the steering wheel of a vintage car, starting your trip with a limited hand of 4 action cards:
DRIVER: provides 1 coin or 1 gasoline resource.
MECHANIC: buy 1 resource cube from the market.
JOURNALIST: buy 1 new card from the board or play 1 event card.
BREAKING NEWS: recover your played cards and refresh the board.
This deck-building engine will increase your hand with new actions cards, adding much more options to your turn, because the acquired cards will be played as actions, resources or events. Use your resources and coins to get new cards, play events, improve your vehichle's capabilities, gain VPs, draw your trip map through the wildlands, and buy a Certificat d'Honneur. The driver with the most VPs at the end of the race is the winner.
