Les Apaches de Paris

About this board game

Les Apaches de Paris is a strategic board game for 2–4 players, played in about 60 minutes and released in 2021. Set in the Paris suburbs at the beginning of the 20th century, it places you at the head of a young gang seeking control, wealth, and notoriety.

Place or move your Apaches as you compete to become master of the most valuable locations. Information is progressively revealed by each player, so every decision combines planning with uncertainty. Read the developing situation, impose your strategy, and decide when to act boldly or cautiously.

Your objective is not simply to occupy as many places as possible. You must secure a majority in the lucrative neighborhoods while avoiding the worst outcomes. Search for the most profitable hideouts, but stay alert: traps, rival gangs, and city sergeants can threaten your plans.

• Place and move your Apaches to contest valuable locations.
• Use gradually revealed information to shape your strategy.
• Balance bluffing, intuition, caution, courage, and risk-taking.
• Seek wealth and notoriety by controlling the best spots.

Each move creates tension as you weigh what is known against what remains uncertain. The game’s accessible rules are paired with strategic depth and replayability, giving every gang leader room to develop a different approach.

Whether you rely on careful tactics, confident bluffs, or a sharp instinct for opportunity, Les Apaches de Paris challenges you to outmaneuver the other gangs and become the best of the Apaches.
