Being a pirate game, they bet their souls... but in case of losing, tickets are usually accepted!  ;)

Those French guys have a strong game community; their forums are full of gorgeous pictures of HUGE games, with lots of players, scenery and miniatures!

I really do enjoy their family approach to the hobby, with costumes, props and all that!  ;)

And the game system they use - ARGAD! - has an unique "chaotic" movement dynamics that works perfectly with large groups of friendly players - an inspiring example to the hobby, IMHO!
