“Chapeau!” is often used as a generic expression of approval and appreciation in France and other parts of Europe: as a sign of admiration or respect, one shall remove one’s hat.

Chapeau! is designed to feel like a classic roll and move board game, but with cutting-edge design theory applied to every aspect. The winner is the first player to collect one of each colour hat and reach the finish. But rotating board sections, shortcuts, blocks and different special abilities for each colour hat make this a much richer game than its ancestors.

• Different routes and basic strategies allow simple, but meaningful decision making on each turn.
• Random starting positions for spinners increase replayability and prevent a single dominant strategy.
• Collecting, ordering, and stacking hats is fun.
• Simple to understand, quick to learn, but challenging to play.
