The first thing that I always look at while buying tabletop games is the theme. Will it appeal to me or it won’t? In this case, it certainly did.
Prêt-à-Porter is a worker placement, card drafting, economic management game based on managing a fashion house. I would classify this as a middleweight euro game as there is some strategy involved but not something at an extreme level. Card drafting does have a bit of luck factor attached to it. Some early runs one might feel there is lot to remember about various mechanics involved but the more runs one does it starts to feel like a breeze. Though, things start to fall when you stop paying attention and the decisions that you take while playing matter towards your end-game.
As for the drawback of components, the cards could have been of slightly better quality.
The copy I bought from here is a Kickstarter Appreciation version or in simple terms a retail version with few of the extras which KS backers received. I would like to mention that one doesn’t fall short of the player experience with this compared to the KS version of the game.
I hope this helps you make a decision to buy this game.
