The inventors, as in a Cluedo, wanted to revive the vaguely mafia-like labyrinth of the film.

The players around the table will try to recognize fakes from real talbins.

The winner, it goes without saying, will be the one who has authentic grisbi ringing and stumbling at the end of the seven rounds...
