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 throughout the parade, and earn the highest prestige.

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

1. 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 the key decisions are made.
2. Passage of Time: The time marker advances, intermediate scoring is resolved, and carts are refilled with new fireworks.
3. Advance the Parade: Crowd cards move forward along the streets, and performers return to their players' boards, ready for the next round.
4. 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 unforgettable performances.

Final scoring takes place in Phase 2 of the third round. Once that phase is complete, the game ends immediately, and the player with the most fame wins.
