🪖 MAGNIFICENT BASTARD: THE FRONT-LINE RULES
The goal is simple: Reach Liberation without ending up with a clown face or shaved legs—and, if possible, after inflicting a maximum amount of punishment on your buddies!
🎲 PROGRESSION
Roll the dice (1 to 5 max)… if you roll a 6, well, you skip your turn. At certain times, you will have to choose your destiny:
- OUT IN THE OPEN: The direct path to glory.
- CAMPING MODE (The Trench): A longer route, but you are protected. As long as you are « camping, » the other Magnificent Bastards cannot attack you or choose you as a victim.
💄 THE WARNINGS
- QUIZ FAILURE: If you give a wrong answer, you head straight to the Make-up session. Your opponents get to do your makeup (only use the hypoallergenic markers available on the website).
- LOST CHALLENGE: If you fail a duel or a solo challenge, you spin the Wheel of Torment.
- WAXING: Get ready to suffer. Out come the wax strips! (Warning: never apply to moles, wounds, or cuts!).
- ADAPTATION: If a forfeit is physically impossible, the group can decide on an equivalent replacement forfeit.
🖕 THE « MAGNIFICENT BASTARD » SPACE
If you land on it, this is your moment of glory. You pick a victim (who is not « camping ») who must spin the Wheel of Torment in your place. (The Wheel of Torment can be customized by the group; you can enter any forfeits you like).
🃏 THE JOKERS
Each soldier has a unique, one-time-use Joker card per game. It can save your skin… or make things worse depending on your luck. Use it strategically!
⚠️ SAFETY & CONSENT
Consent: This game is all about having a laugh. Every participant must agree to the rules before starting. We’re here to have fun, not to end up in the ER. Pro tip: cut the wax strips into smaller pieces to make the pleasure last even longer.
Gear: Use exclusively the certified products (markers and wax strips) sold on grosbatard.fr to avoid combat allergies.
The Ultimate Space : Choose your favorite victim and make them spin the Wheel of Torment… Warning: this power does not apply to players camping in the trenches!
Solo Challenge
You must take on a solo challenge… If you fail, you spin the Wheel of Torment.
Duel
Choose your opponent and draw a duel challenge at random… The loser spins the Wheel of Torment.
A Little Breathing Room
As long as you are on this space… no one can touch you.
Mystery Roulette
Destiny is about to give you a little surprise!
The Grenade
Available only in the trenches. The catch is, if someone lands on it, all camping players suffer collateral damage… Spin the Wheel of Torment and enjoy the show!
Wasted
Your player cannot defend themselves during this turn. If a vicious enough opponent decides to challenge you to a duel… well, don’t even bother trying: spin the Wheel of Torment! P.S. Wasted is wasted—whether you’re in a trench or out in the sun, it’s the exact same thing!
Foreign Accent
You must speak with a foreign accent during your entire turn. Watch your step if you forget! The other players are watching, and any slip-up sends you straight to the Wheel of Torment!
Face Lift
Choose your neighbor to the right or left and give them a makeover! Out come the markers, this is your moment of glory: transform your opponent into a true work of art (or a visual disaster).
The Pissed-Off Space
Every other player still in the running is good to spin the Wheel of Torment. Time to savor their misery!
Deep in the St
The player moves back two spaces and stays in this mess a little longer… (Warning: the landing space has no effect; this is strictly a punitive move on the board).
Lucky Strike
The player moves forward two spaces and gets an extra chance to stay in one piece! Enjoy the reprieve, it won’t last… (Warning: the landing space has no effect; this is strictly a punitive move on the board).
Safe Haven
For the sensitive player who prefers a longer route to avoid becoming a potential target for the Magnificent Bastards… this path is for you! But beware: you remain vulnerable until you have officially entered the trench.
Back to Reality
Well, sooner or later, you have to crawl out of your hole… and expose yourself! Back to the front line, the Magnificent Bastards are waiting for you with open arms.
