At the GAMA Trade Show, CoolMiniOrNot announced the release of The Grizzled, a card game featuring art by Tignous, one of the French cartoonists who was killed in the Charlie Hebdo attack (see "Jihadis Target French Cartoonists").
The cooperative card game, which is currently being translated into English, was released in France as Les Poilus. Designed by Fabien Riffaud & Juan Rodriguez, the cooperative card game has players take the role of soldiers in WWI, who must endure the hardships of everyday life in the trenches during the war. Players must balance individual and group risk to successfully survive the war, since they win or lose as a group. The game is for 3-5 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30 minutes. MSRP and release date were not announced.
According to a statement on the website of French game publisher Sweet November, which originally released the card game, Tignous delivered his last drawings a week before being murdered at Charlie Hebdo, making the game’s tagline "Can Friendship be stronger than War?" carry special resonance.
