flambe

The game is played with 3 to 6 players.
Eight round pawns take up the blazes of the protagonists of the film: Fernand, known as the gugusse de Montauban, but also Madame Mado the madam mother, Pascal the gunslinger, the indescribable Volfoni brothers, the ignoble Théo, Tomate the tenant of the "
clandestine
" .
To win, after seven rounds of complete play, you must have accumulated a good pile of talbins stamped Banque de France.
