Mardi Gras

Players take the role of a New Orleans krewe, a social club that organizes parades and parties in the Mardi Gras season leading up to Lent. In this game, your krewe is trying to spread the most revelry among the residents and visitors to New Orleans. Send your krewe members to supply your float, advertise events, recruit new members, and roll through the city in the parades! Laissez les bons temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)

There will be five rounds in the game. Each round has two phases: Groundwork and Carnival, In Groundwork, players take turns placing their krewe members either in the casino or on route cards until players have placed all their krewe members. In Carnival, the topmost route card is activated, and players can advertise excellent viewing neighborhoods, participate in the parade, recruit new krewe members, or assume the leadership of the Mardi Gras Royalty. Play continues with more rounds of Groundwork and Carnival until all parade cards have been activated.

Throughout the game, players compete for majority support from entertained revelers to become the most popular Krewe of Mardi Gras!
