About this game

C. Brunlet, a French prisoner at a camp in Senlis, designed this game based on his experiences and published it in Switzerland after escaping. The title is a pun: "Canards" is both a pun on the Game of Goose and a word for the endless rumours that circulate among captives. It revels in the absurdities of camp life and comes with a booklet explaining the stories behind the images.
