About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to smell the money (and maybe the scent of defeat!) in Vabanque, a game that throws you right into the heart of a casino. The gang gets together, sets the stakes for the tables, and then it's action time: each player plays their character cards and moves their pawn to the gaming table. The goal? Get rich, of course! But beware, because the tables are full of sharks, and the money you win can disappear quickly or be multiplied in surprising ways.

In the beginning, the bets are low, but the tension builds with each round, with stakes rising and risk increasing. The trick to Vabanque is that if you stay sharp, observe your friends closely, and figure out their bluffs, you can end up with a hefty sum. It's a game where table reading and the ability to deceive (or be deceived!) are crucial. After four rounds of pure adrenaline and betting, whoever has the most money in hand is the casino's big champion. Guaranteed fun for those who enjoy a good dose of bluffing and a bit of luck at the table.
