Game Object
Be the first to build a 10 unit parade using the Unit Cards while avoiding breakdowns, bad weather, and the dreaded RAINOUT!
Components
The game is made up of two sets of cards. Unit Cards consisting of Bands, Dance Teams, Floats, and Marching Groups. These cards will make up each player’s hand to start and be used to build a parade. Action Cards define an action that the player will make on each turn. Actions consist of Discards, Draws, Steals, and the disastrous RAINOUT!
Concept
Most people have no idea of the complexity of putting together a Mardi Gras Parade. First you have to come up with theme. Next you have to determine how many Floats will be in the parade. Then you have to balance out the Floats with other units like Bands, Dance Teams, and Marching Groups. Finally you have to organize it all into a sequence on parade day.
Geaux Parade gives you a glimpse into that complexity and excitement while competing against friends and family to be the first to build your very own parade.
These are Sample Cards from the Second Beta Playtest Version.
Geaux Parade is currently in development. Gentilly Games is starting the process of negotiating with several New Orleans Mardi Gras organizations to use their intellectual property in the game. This will add excitement to the game by having many signature floats and other unique features of New Orleans Mardi Gras featured in the game..
Our goal is to have the game is ready prior to the 2025 Carnival Season.
