About the game
Two players take on the role of Hanbok dress designers and design a collection of Hanbok for a fashion show. Hanbok is a traditional Korean garment, and in Hanbok Runway, you'll create a modern take on it. Each hanbok set is created by layering a fabric card and a style card. There are 10 different style cards and 30 unique fabric cards to create 300 different designs. When you play a set: (1) Choose one of two colors from the fabric cards to gain an influence token, and (2) Apply the ability of the style card. Some influence tokens are set face-down, and some even give you negative influence points. The abilities of style cards allow you to convert numbers, get information, etc. You can play 0-2 sets per turn, and the game ends when someone makes 10 sets or when 2 types of influence tokens are removed. Influence is compared for each color, and whoever scores 1 or more and has a higher influence than the other player gets victory points for that color. The player with the highest total wins. You will fall in love with the simple rules, quick setup, intense competition, and above all, the beauty of Hanbok.
