Parade of the Bruges Fools (2025)

The government of Maximilian, who inherited the reign over Bruges in 1482, is harsh and taxes are high, leading to public discontent. When Maximilian visited Bruges in 1488, the people decided to revolt. They were able to imprison their monarch for over four months. Out of vengeance, Maximilian imposed a prohibition to organize festivities and fairs. To calm him down, you as the people of Bruges decided to organize a celebration to honor Maximilian.

In Parade of the Bruges fools players take on the role of a medieval labourer living in Bruges. Together, you try to gather musicians, acrobats and jesters to join a big parade in honour of Maximilian in order to earn his respect and therefore more freedom. However, the player who surpasses the expectations of grumpy Maximilian, wins this game and becomes mayor in Bruges.

Each turn, players perform one of three actions:

persuade an artist by offering a drink in the local bar
play an artist into the parade and score (some artists have the possibility to move other cards one space or to swap with a card)
rest (by taking back into your hand all of the cards you needed to persuade artists)


When an artist reached the seventh column, the parade is complete and the game ends.

In the advanced game mood bonusses are dealt to the player(s) who took most notice of the King's temper (3 out of 20 mission cards).
