About the game
Build beautiful palaces in this expert level Euro game. Place your overseers in different areas, but also pay attention to the order for the upcoming rounds. Acquire resources and decorate your buildings to create a masterpiece. Prestige is a strategic game that offers many different possibilities. We are in the time of the Rococo. The nobility is vying for the most prestige and we take on the role of lords of the castle. In the course of the game, we want to expand and decorate our small castle. We have 5 instructors at our disposal to do this. We use the instructors to create building contracts and hire ambitious craftsmen who gain experience and improve their skills, which are important for the further expansion of our castle. The craftsmen will be used to carry out different building contracts with varying degrees of efficiency. The game takes place over 3 years, each with the 4 seasons. The seasons can have an influence on construction and the procurement of resources. For this reason, it is very important to plan your individual actions carefully and to keep a close eye on your fellow players. In each season, we have various actions available to us by deploying our instructors: • Acquire resources from the resource plant • Place a building order • Buy, sell or exchange resources on the market and buy workers • Expand the land • Hire a new craftsman • Become the starting player for the next round The placement of the instructors also controls the player order in the next season. It can and will happen that a player has several consecutive turns. This allows for many strategies. Only those who cleverly expand their castle, adapt to current events and keep a close eye on their fellow players will win this game. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Prestige supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Prestige is 90–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Prestige for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Prestige has a complexity rating of 4.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
