Gygès is French, from Gigamic. This version is a nice implementation, good sound. The pieces are shared, you try to move to the end position, and you must start a move from the back line. The pieces have different heights indicating how far they can move, and they are not really stacked. When you move piece A and it lands on piece B, piece A moves the same distance as the height of piece B (there is another option).
Correction: One version of this old game was produced by Gigamic, but recently Blue Orange has been making the above deluxe version.
I dont know how good the game is. It does have some tactical richness. But imagine seeing this deluxe Gygès in a fantasy or science fiction production. Nice.

And here is how to pronounce Gygès in French, according to Bruno Cathala. You can also catch it here, maybe with some fiddling.
(L'accent grave, if you're interested)
In modern Greek it's this.
Deluxe in French is de luxe, of luxury. It's pronounced like this. Some raison d'être too.
The word for ring is anneau, pronounced annoe. Also bague, pronounced bag, is more in the sense of jewellery. Ce ne sont pas des bijoux.
French dude explains the situation.
Mise-en-scène is mentioned in a video or two. It is used in English in the context of film or theatre. In French in the context of boardgames it apparently means setup.
When you encounter someone in France, you must greet them with "bonjour" (source: the Internet).
