Diables

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• action selection — Inspired by the Correfoc performance, players place 'diapas' (performers) next to spectators on their player board, each with different actions and preferences.
• Area Control — Placing performers on the main board contributes to scoring and rewards, with players vying for spots.
• Drafting — Players select actions by placing performers next to spectators with different preferences.
• Resource Management — Players manage performers and fireworks, which are needed for actions and unlocking more workers.
• Set Collection — Players collect rewards and score based on placing performers in various zones on the main board.
• special abilities — Mythical beasts (demons, dragons) act as more expensive workers with special powers, costing more fireworks.
• timed rounds — The game has three rounds with a specific amount of time, unlike Danny Garcia's usual player-driven game end.
• Worker Placement — Performers are placed on the player board for actions and sent to the main board, where they are lost for the rest of the game.
