Malebranche is a small abstract strategy game inspired by Mitsuo Yamamoto's King's Valley, with the addition of special powers on the pieces. It's published in XVgames's bagstract format. In this small portable game with the board printed on the bag, players randomize with dice a set of 4 pieces plus a damned soul. The pieces have different powers. Players will need to move them in straight lines to try to make blocks and paths so that the damned soul can move into the central space of the board, the Hell's pit. The player who can do so first wins the game. —description from the publisher
