Le Dernier Peuple is a board game released in 2015 for 3–5 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management.
Le Dernier Peuple ("The Last People") is a simple, quick card game for 3 to 5 players from France. In Le Dernier Peuple, you personify a people. Each player has a "home" card which of his/her color. You play cards to move your 2 meeples around the cards's circle and gain points. First, you can (optional action) use a power card (those cards are collected on pickaxes). Each card has a unique effect - read it by hovering the card in your hand with your mouse. Secondly, you have to chose between drawing 2 movement cards OR use 1 movement card then draw 1 movement card. A grey downward arrow allows you to move your meeple ; a black upward arrow allows you to move any opponent's meeple. Each arrow gives 2 possibilities : moving a meeple by the number indicated in the circle (positive = clockwise ; negative = unclockwise) OR moving a meeple toward the card with the number indicated in the square. You'll gain points by surrounding any "home" card with your 2 meeples or with 1 of your meeple and one opponent's meeple. The goal is to be the first to reach 12 points. The game is online playable at Boardgamearena.
