Diables is a mid-heavy eurogame in which you lead a colla in the spectacular Mediterranean tradition of the Ball de Diables.

Manage your troupe of performers, coordinate different types of fireworks, and adapt to evolving events to stage the most breathtaking street performances. Carefully plan your actions to captivate the crowd, build momentum across the parade, and earn the highest prestige.

A game of Diables is played over 3 rounds, each divided into 4 phases:

  • Performances: Players take turns sending their performers into the streets to carry out actions and engage the crowd. This is the core of the game, where key decisions are made.
  • Passage of Time: The time marker advances, intermediate scoring is resolved, and carts are refilled with new fireworks.
  • Advance the Parade: Crowd cards move forward along the streets, and performers return to players’ boards, ready for the next round.
  • Attract the Crowd: New crowd cards are added to each street, bringing fresh opportunities and challenges.

Balance timing, resource management, and positioning to outshine rival colles and deliver the most unforgettable performances. The final scoring takes place in Phase 2 of the 3rd round. Once that phase is complete, the game ends immediately, and the player with the most fame is the winner.

Product detailed description

Diables is a medium-heavy eurogame in which 1 to 4 players lead a "colla" (group) within the spectacular Mediterranean tradition of the Ball de Diables (Dance of Devils). You will have to manage the different members of the colla, the different types of firecrackers, and the different events to create the most exciting shows, impress the audience, and achieve the greatest prestige.

The Ball de Diables (Dance of Devils) is a medieval Catalan tradition, also found in Valencia, the Balearic Islands, and some areas of southern France. It is a widespread tradition; currently, there are hundreds of "colles" (groups that organize them) that participate in many popular festivals. The Diables carry maces with pyrotechnic elements as they run and dance among the crowd attending the show, all to the sound of the Tabalers, who accompany the Diables playing their tabales (a percussion instrument similar to a drum). In addition, it is common for huge beasts, also with varied pyrotechnics, to parade alongside these Diables and Tabalers, making the event even more impressive.

In Diables, you will be in charge of a "colla". You will have to reorganize its members and distribute the pyrotechnics among the different acts performed during the "correfoc", making sure to take photos and record videos at the most spectacular moments, and above all, to impress those attending the show, so that your colla gains the prestige and fame it deserves. Furthermore, it is possible that while playing, you will learn something about this beautiful tradition and end up loving it as much as we do.
