You're the new owner of a small campground along the river Ardèche. It all seems so easy! A small plot of land, a reception and a website is all you need to receive some income from tourists. Satisfied you take a rest – but not for long, as your guests already leave for greener pastures! They like your competitor's campground more: the ‘Clash d’Ardèche’ has begun. Claim the best sites, bluff out your competitors, bribe the mayor and fulfill your secret assignment to win! In 'Clash d'Ardèche', 1-4 players compete with each other by trying to build the campground of their (secret) assignment. They do this by buying sites, swimming pool / disco / hostel etc. and Publicity. And, of course, by pricing their opponents out of the market. Guests will typically leave the worst campground for the best one. Also the mayor is giving favors to the ones he likes, so do not forget to bribe him! Gameplay is about 20 minutes / player.
