All of Dani Garcia’s games have something unique that makes you excited to see what surprise he’ll come up with next. Diables perfectly captures the excitement, energy, and celebratory spirit of the Catalan tradition. I’d give it an 11 if BGG would let me.

Diables is a medium-heavy eurogame designed by Dani Garcia for 1-4 players where you lead a troupe in the spectacular Mediterranean tradition of Ball de Diables. You manage your troupe of performers, coordinate different types of fireworks, and adapt to evolving events to stage the most breathtaking street performances. You carefully plan actions to capture the audience, build momentum along the parade, and gain maximum prestige.
A game of Diables takes place over 3 rounds, each divided into 4 phases: Performance (players take turns sending performers into the streets to perform actions and engage the audience), Time Passage (the time marker advances, intermediate scores are resolved, and carts are filled with new fireworks), Parade Advancement (crowd cards move along the streets and performers return to players' boards), and Audience Attraction (new crowd cards are added to each street).

As always, Dani has once again reimagined the “Worker Placement” genre. I played the prototype version and bought it on the spot. I can't wait for my copy to arrive so I can enjoy this fantastic game, which also looks spectacular at the table.
This is the best Dani Garcia's design, I’ve enjoyed the two games I’ve played and the way the actions are combined with worker placement. The topic is very original and the manual explains very clearly how it relates to the mechanics
Original theme and great components. Want the game to raise more funds. (Unfortunately a dissapointing campaign with too little information about the great features of the game and dissapointing stretch goals).
Great game! I love that this Catalan tradition fits so well with the game's mechanics. It's a shame that, due to the polemical situation between Spain and Catalonia, it's getting bad ratings out of nowhere :(
