Is friendship stronger than war?
August 2, 1914 - In the village square, a group of inseparable friends incredulously watches the general mobilization order posted on the town hall. For several weeks, reading the newspapers had become very worrying; but the brutality of the announcement surprises everyone.
Without the slightest idea of the hell into which they are about to be plunged, they promise to stand together and return all together, no matter what. Unfortunately, the reality they will face will be far beyond their worst fears.
Embody a group of "Poilus" (French WWI soldiers) in the daily life of the trenches. Can you coordinate your actions to get through the devastating effects of the Great War?
"Les Poilus" is a cooperative game. Players win or lose together. The right balance between individual and collective risk-taking will lead to success. A true group challenge, this intense and immersive game is also a tribute to our ancestors.
