About the game
In *Ici Londres*, you and your friends step into the shoes of the French Resistance during WWII, trying to send coded messages via Radio London without being caught by the enemy. The game is all about tension and teamwork: one player acts as the radio operator, giving encrypted clues to the others, who must decode them under pressure. But watch out! The Nazis are lurking, and any mistake could be costly. With communication limits and deduction mechanics, each round becomes a test of wit and trust. The historical theme ties neatly into the gameplay, creating an immersive experience without complex rules — perfect for 3 to 6 players in just 20 minutes. Expect whispers, suspicious glances, and lots of laughter when clues backfire!
