About this game
This card game from Paris publisher Miro (which later published La Conquête du Monde, the first edition of what became Risk) offers another take on the extent of the French Empire at the outbreak of WWII. The box includes a quote from then prime minister Edouard Daladier's speech in Algiers on Jan. 6, 1939, in which he declared that France's colonial activities were always based on love, and that it acts only to "bring people into the light".
