Play Paris Paris Online

This game from Michael Schacht now available online

By Erik Arneson, About.com

Michael Schacht's game Paris Paris, in which players compete to attract tourists to their shops on various Parisian streets, is now available online at www.english.parisparis.de.

In Paris Paris, players try to build tourist attractions at the most popular locations. The board is a map of Paris with five color-coded bus routes. When a small tour comes by, it's good to be located nearby. But for the higher-scoring grand tours, having lots of businesses at important intersections and adjacent locations is a key.

It's a delightful game with plenty of tactical and strategic thinking, playing in 45 minutes or less, much like Schacht's Web of Power.

Paris Paris was nominated for the 2003 Spiel des Jahres, Germany's award for Family Game of the Year.

The online implementation only allows for solo play against three computer opponents.
