About the game

What you do in a play session

Paris, early 20th century: the City of Light has its dark alleys where gangs of young apaches fight for neighborhood control. In *Les Apaches de Paris*, you lead one such gang, using bluffs, strategy, and a bit of luck to dominate the most lucrative hideouts. The game blends tactical movement, area influence, and asymmetric information — you never quite know what rivals are planning. Each match is a risky dance: pushing too hard may attract the police, but staying put means missing opportunities. The board depicts Parisian suburbs during the Belle Époque, with locations gaining or losing value as the game progresses. Get ready to lie, bet big, and maybe get startled by an opponent’s unexpected move. Pro tip: sometimes the best move is pretending you’re weak... until it’s time to strike.
