Overview

In Bohemians, players take on the roles of artists wandering the streets of Paris at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, striving to create masterpieces while facing the challenges of daily life. Bohemians is a card-driven game in which players collect cards to find inspiration, seek muses, and manage everyday necessary tasks.

In each round, players must plan that day's routine and decide whether they will go on a date, participate in a social event, meet their muse, create new art, or...go to work. Each card offers them various bonuses and inspiration, so carefully managing your card supply and the order in which they're played is crucial to getting the most inspiration. Players then spend their inspiration to purchase cards and build their deck with new habits, inspiring muses, or new achievements in their career. The artist who acquires the most achievements from the achievements deck wins.

The prototype of Bohemians won three nominations and one award (Best Presentation, Best Innovation, Best Game) at Fastaval, Denmark's largest convention for board games and roleplaying games.
