Le Conseil des 12 (FR)

*French version

Le Conseil des 12 (FR) transports players into the troubled world of the Twelve Kingdoms, where mysterious Stones of Power are causing chaos throughout the realm. As trusted members of the royal council, players must cooperate to solve increasingly dangerous crises before the kingdom falls apart completely.

Unlike its predecessor King of 12, this new installment delivers a fully cooperative experience focused on teamwork, intuition, and tactical coordination. In this engaging cooperative card game, players work together to manipulate a central twelve-sided die in order to meet the conditions imposed by the various Challenge cards.

During each round, players secretly choose and play Character cards face down. The real challenge lies in anticipating teammates’ decisions so that card effects combine efficiently and modify the D12 in exactly the right way. Even when everything seems doomed, careful observation and teamwork can still rescue the group at the last second.

Le Conseil des 12 offers impressive replayability thanks to its wide variety of challenges, diverse character powers, and adjustable difficulty system. Players can customize the Challenge deck to create lighter sessions for casual groups or much tougher scenarios for experienced cooperative gamers.

While the gameplay remains quick and accessible, the game hides a surprisingly satisfying tactical depth. Success depends heavily on silent coordination and reading the intentions of your teammates, making every victory feel genuinely earned.

You will probably enjoy Le Conseil des 12 (FR) if you appreciate clever cooperative games, light deduction mechanics, and teamwork-focused puzzle solving. Fans of The Crew, Hanabi, or The Mind will discover a tense and rewarding cooperative experience filled with memorable moments.

The game was designed by Rita Modl and illustrated by Robin Lagofun. It belongs to the Kingdom of 12 universe and further develops the dice manipulation and character systems introduced in King of 12 while shifting the focus entirely toward cooperative gameplay.

An interesting fact: despite its accessible rules, Le Conseil des 12 offers excellent replayability because the combination of characters and challenge cards constantly changes the group’s strategic approach from one game to another.
