Read the full game description

At the beginning of the 20th century, in the suburbs of Paris during a time of catastrophic economic and social upheaval, young people get together to form the gangs of Ménilmontant, Montmartre and elsewhere. They are Les Apaches de Paris. You lead a gang of "Apaches" and have to become master of the place to get rich. Place or move your Apaches and, in spite of your uncertainties, impose your strategy thanks to the information progressively revealed by each player. Find and control the most lucrative "hideouts" but beware of traps, rival gangs and city sergeants. Control the best spots, get the most money and become the best of Les Apaches de Paris. A la tête de votre bande d’Apaches, soyez majoritaire uniquement dans les quartiers lucratifs. Ainsi vous éviterez le pire et connaitrez notoriété et richesse. Serez-vous tacticien, bluffeur, intuitif, prudent, courageux ou tout cela en même temps ? Début du 20ème siècle… Issus des faubourgs de Paris, dans un contexte économique et social catastrophique, sans éducation et livrés à eux-mêmes, des jeunes liés par leur quartier d’origine se regroupent pour créer les gangs de Ménilmontant, de Montmartre ou d’ailleurs... Ils sont appelés « Les Apaches de Paris » en référence aux Apaches de Geronimo. Vous dirigez un gang « d’Apaches » et devez devenir maître de lieux pour vous enrichir. Placez ou déplacez vos Apaches et malgré vos incertitudes, imposez votre stratégie grâce aux informations dévoilées progressivement par chaque joueur. Trouvez les « planques » les plus lucratives mais attention aux pièges, aux bandes rivales et aux sergents de ville. Les points forts du jeu sont : Accessible et très stratégique Grande profondeur de jeu et rejouabilité Tension et prise de risque à chaque coup joué —description from publisher
