About the Game

La Der des Ders is a game that lets you relive the First World War at a strategic level, with each player controlling one of the two sides - the Entente or the Central Powers.

La Der des Ders can also be played solo, thanks to dedicated rules: the player then takes on the role of the side he wishes, while the “system”, called Athena, is their virtual opponent.

Each turn, players are awarded Resource Points, which they can allocate to different areas (reinforcements, technological research, offensives) to guide their overall strategy.

Victory is achieved by launching powerful offensives that sap the morale of enemy nations, forcing them out of the conflict. But each battle will also cost the attacker dearly.

One game turn is equivalent to four months of real time. A game can last up to 14 turns, unless the war is won – or lost - before then, or peace talks have started.

Historical events punctuate the games, allowing you to relive the historical unfolding of the First World War.

The rest is up to you!
