Conspirateurs

Conspirateurs starts on an empty board with a centre "secret meeting place" and 39 perimeter sanctuaries.

Conspirateurs (lit.'Conspirators') is a two- or four-player strategy board game said to have been invented in 18th-century France. Robert Charles Bell believes the game to date from after 1789, following the French Revolutionary Wars, "a period of feverish political activity with factions conspiring against each other".[1]

Conspirateurs resembles other games such as Halma, Ugolki, Chinese Checkers, and Salta in that pieces jump without capturing over friendly or enemy pieces, to move more quickly to their destinations.
