Description
Take on the role of a fashion model as you hit the runways in New York, Paris, and Tokyo to build your career.
In Couture, players seek to win cards through auctions in New York, Paris, and Tokyo. New cards are available to draft in each city, allowing the winning player first pick of Iconic Poses, Signature Walks, a personal Glam Squad, and much more.
Once the seventh round has concluded, players determine their total score, with magazine cover awards bringing bonus points. The model with the highest score wins the game and with it all the fame of a global spotlight!

Quotes (from this video)
- This is the closest to a card game on this list
- There are these really cool little magazine tiles and the magazine tiles are getting you points at the end of the game in different ways
- I think that's just a really cool way to do an auction to have to arrange your hand in a specific way before we even start drafting at all before we start bidding at all
- This was also my top two-player Only Game of the Year
- Every card that can be purchased by one side or the other can also be destroyed by the opposing side before that person can buy them and add them to their deck
- I constantly have to agonize over whether I want to spend my resources to hurt you or to buy a card that helps me
- There is a board a little board element to this game where there is a force and the force is sort of going back and forth between either side
- I had a bet with my brother that I could hit 10,000 subscribers by the end of the year and it looks like I am going to lose that bet

Quotes (from this video)
- Joy Ride which is kind of a a stolen version of power boats
- Ramy uh tiny little card game where you're drafting these cards Ramy style trying to complete these objectives and that will also tailor your point scoring at the end
- take a Seat this is a you know a polyomino Style game as you're trying to fill up seats uh in a cinema with variable objectives looks like this quite a bit going on here but you know generally speaking I like polyomino style games especially when they tackle that idea from a different perspective

Quotes (from this video)
- This is where I take a look at the last five new to me board games that I've played and I rank them and review them in order of preference
- it's almost like a bit of a contrast or a contradiction when you say you're going to get a 4X game but under an hour
- I don't think that it managed to uphold the magic the you know the majesty and the epicness of what people want a forx game to be
- it's just one of those games where you can kind of turn your brain off
- I must admit that um Joy Ride you do have a lot more control and it does feel like a it kind of walks up tight route between games like Thunder Road and also games like um heat pedal to the metal
- All in all it's a lot of fun
- it's a kind of a textbook example of a solid game
- This is quite a fresh take on the roll and right polyomino sty games
- The additional mechanism which is probably the weakest part I think is a little bit tacked on
