Pact with the Devil

Version french

We live in an age of enlightenment.

Four kingdoms emerge from the Dark Ages, staggering and blinking, blinded by their newfound prosperity.

Each of them is in search of greatness.

Which one will stand out?

Two kingdoms are ruled by miserable mortals torn between their lust for power and their need to please the Church.

A kingdom is ruled in secret by an adept who has already succumbed to temptation.

The fourth is led by the devil himself.

To win, you need resources.

To triumph, the devil needs a fragment of your soul.

Is it time to make a pact?

Angel or Demon?

Pact with the Devil is a competitive Euro Game mixing several different styles, all in a particularly strong theme of negotiation and hidden roles in a medieval fantasy era.

Each of the four players takes on the secret role of a mortal, cultist, or even the devil, and so each has different game objectives.

The goal of the game is to expand your Kingdom by obtaining valuable resources in exchange for souls.

To obtain these resources, you will obviously have to negotiate, avoiding giving too many clues about your identity.

An atypical and innovative game

The hidden role-playing game associated with the negotiation game is already rare, but in addition to this there are still impactful mechanics that make Pact with the Devil a true Expert game.

Victory points, immediate effects, long-term abilities, building construction, gauges, events...

Each element of the game works together to form an experience that is both subtle and complex, but highly rewarding for each of the four players.

From epic negotiations to final reveals, rest assured that no two games will ever be the same.

Always different games

There are many dynamic strategies to experiment with with each new game.

Will you sell pieces of your soul from the beginning to increase your building prowess or risk being punished by the Inquisition in the future?

Or will you carefully manage loan and debt repayments while waiting for others to inadvertently reveal their nefarious nature?

Every choice has a consequence, and each role has its own unique strategic approach to explore.

For Involved Players

Pact with the Devil is definitely an expert game, for 4 players only (no more, no less), which requires a certain investment.

An investment that is quickly rewarded with the delights of blind negotiations, and the feeling of living a totally unique gaming experience.
