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.

Zoe Z. ★★★★★

The solo mode is what sold me, and it plays just as smoothly as the 4-player chaos with my group. For a pre-order, the estimated 2026 wait is long, but with that solid 7.74 ranking on BGG, I'm confident this will be worth every month.

Sophia ★★★★★

Backed this the moment I saw the solo-to-4-player setup and the 7.74 BGG rating held up in early previews. The 2026 delivery feels like an eternity, but knowing I’m locked into the Kickstarter exclusives makes the wait sting a little less.

Emily N. ★★★★★

The 1-4 player range is perfect for my group, and the 7.74 rating on Board Game Geek actually undersells how tense the matches get. Pre-ordering with a 2026 delivery feels like a long wait, but the Kickstarter exclusives included here make it worthwhile.
