About the game
"Sombrero and Big Moustaches" The game places the players in the role of a political leader during the Mexican revolution, in the era of Pancho Villa and Zapata. Each will attempt to eliminate his opponents by force or trickery, to become the head of Mexico. The game has two periods, Democracy and Revolution, of which the players will profit or harm their opponents while playing allies, equipment, or politican cards. A pawn "bomb" passes hands and risks exploding at any moment, causing important losses to the victim. The last player possessing a living politician is the winner. " Sombrero et grosses moustaches " Le jeu place les joueurs dans le rôle d'un leader politique pendant la révolution Mexicaine, à l'époque de Pancho Villa et de Zapata. Chacun va tenter d'éliminer ses adversaires par la force ou la ruse, pour qu'à la fin de la partie le Mexique trouve son maître. Le jeu se découpe en deux périodes, Démocratie ou Révolution, dont les joueurs vont tirer profit pour nuire à leurs adversaires en jouant des cartes " alliés ", " équipement " ou " politiciens ". Un pion " bombe " passe de mains en mains et risque d'exploser à tout moment, causant des pertes importantes au joueur victime de l'attentat. Le dernier joueur possédant un politicien vivant sera le vainqueur. (Description: Siroz/Asmodée)
