Troyes: The Ladies of Troyes is an expansion for Troyes released in 2012 for 2–4 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Xavier Georges, Alain Orban, and Sébastien Dujardin and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Income, and Ownership.
Game description from the publisher: In The Ladies of Troyes, the women make an appearance in the form of three new Character cards that you can include in your games. A new action allows players to move their guard along the ramparts in order to access one of 16 new activities outside the city. Each player is represented by a new purple die (representing the head of the family), which cannot be bought by other players. The head of the family can carry out civil, military, or religious actions — your choice! The Ladies of Troyes also includes twenty-seven new Activity cards and six Event cards to add still more variety to the game!
Troyes: The Ladies of Troyes 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 Troyes: The Ladies of Troyes is 90 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 Troyes: The Ladies of Troyes for ages 13 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.
