MrBigos: Dupliaced inested list markers, so it correctly displays in BGA

== Game Overview ==
In '''Bohemians''', you take on the role of an artist in 19th-century Paris. You strive to gather inspiration and create masterpieces while struggling against all different hardships.

'''Objective:''' Each round gather as much inspiration as possible to buy a specific amount of achievement cards quicker than your opponents.

== Game Flow ==
The game is played over several rounds, each consisting of three phases:

=== 1. Wake up phase ===
* '''Draw cards:''' Each player draws cards from their deck (standard: 5 cards).
* '''Plan your routine:''' Arrange your cards in a row. Matching symbols give you inspiration and some cards can give special effects.

=== 2. Day phase ===
Players execute their actions in turn:
* '''Narrate your day:''' Based on the cards you play, you can tell a story about what happened in your day. This has no effect on gameplay, it's just for the theme.
* '''Count your inspiration:''' Gain inspiration from:
** – Matching symbols,
** – Muses,
** – Other special cards.
* '''Spend inspiration:''' Use inspiration to purchase:
** – Habit cards from the display,
** – Muse cards from the display,
** – Achievement card (once per round),
** – Move unspent inspiration points into Atelier for other effects.
* '''Dues of the day''': Gain Hardship card if you haven't played your Job tile.

=== 3. Sleep phase ===
* '''Clean up the board:''' Put all cards you played into discard pile and the Job tile aside.
* '''Pass the first player token'''
* '''Refresh the market''': New first player may remove one Market card and replace it with a new one.

== Key Concepts ==
* '''Habits, Muses & Hardhip:''' Habit cards give you inspiration, Muse cards enhance your actions, while Hardship cards provide negative effects that you must manage or remove.
* '''Atelier:''' Points accumulated in Atelier can be used to:
** – Clear market (cost: 3) – Remove 4 cards in one of the two rows of the Market and replenish them with new ones.
** – Ignore 1 Hardship (cost: 4) – Hardship has no effect this round, but will land in the discard pile by the end of the round.
** – Draw 2 cards (cost: 5) – draw additional cards to your hand. Keep in mind it can result in drawing more Hardship cards.
** – Reject 1 card (cost: 6) – remove 1 card you played in this round (Habit, Muse, Hardships) completely out of the game.
* '''Achievements:''' Those are not only requirements for winning the game, but also each achievement card grants each round 1 point discount in Atelier.

== End of the Game ==
The game ends when a player gains their fifth Achievement card (or fourth in a four-player game)
* Once this happens, players complete the current round, and the player with the most Achievement cards is declared the winner.
* If two or more players are tied with Achievement cards, the player who has more points in the Atelier wins the game. If there is still a tie, players share the victory!

MrBigos: Completely rewritten all "How to play", because it was full of mistakes, wrong wording and I had suspicion that it was made using AI

MrBigos: End of the Game was edited, because it has incorrect information.

== Game Overview ==
In '''Bohemians''', you take on the role of an artist in 19th-century Paris. You strive to gather inspiration and create masterpieces while struggling against hunger and social decline (poverty).

'''Objective:''' Collect the most '''Studio Points (Victory Points)'''. Be careful: accumulating too much poverty leads to point deductions or failure at the end.

== Game Flow ==
The game is played over several rounds, each consisting of three phases:

=== 1. Waking Phase ===
* '''Draw Cards:''' Each player draws cards from their deck (standard: 5 cards).
* '''Create Daily Plan:''' Arrange your cards in a row. The sequence determines how you use resources (inspiration) and which actions you perform.

=== 2. Day Phase ===
Players execute their actions in turn:
* '''Narrate Your Day:''' Cards are activated from left to right.
* '''Actions:'''
** '''Collect Inspiration:''' Gain markers of different colors.
** '''Create Work:''' Use inspiration to purchase Art cards from the display (grants Studio Points).
** '''Fulfill Needs:''' Spend resources to reduce hunger or poverty.
* '''Interaction:''' Some cards allow you to influence opponents or reserve cards from the market.

=== 3. Sleeping Phase ===
* '''Check Hunger:''' If you couldn't satisfy your hunger, you receive poverty markers.
* '''Cleanup:''' All played cards go to the discard pile. The market is replenished.

* '''Poverty:''' A high poverty level is dangerous. it acts as a penalty during final scoring.

== End of the Game ==
The game ends when a player gains their fifth Achievement card (or fourth in a four-player game)
* Once this happens, players complete the current round, and the player with the most Achievement cards is declared the winner.
* If two or more players are tied with Achievement cards, the player who has more points in the Atelier wins the game. If there is still a tie, players share the victory!
