Conspirateurs

'Conspirators') is a two- or four-player strategy board game said to have been invented in 18th-century France.

Robert Charles Bell believes the game to date from after 1789, following the French Revolutionary Wars, "a period of feverish political activity with factions conspiring against each other".

[1] Conspirateurs resembles other games such as Halma, Ugolki, Chinese Checkers, and Salta in that pieces jump without capturing over friendly or enemy pieces, to move more quickly to their destinations.

At the centre is a specially marked or coloured area made up of 5×9 intersection points representing a "secret meeting place".

On the board's perimeter, 39 points are specially marked or coloured to identify sanctuaries.
