Animocrazy est la nouvelle version de Democrazy<\/a>, publi\u00e9e en anglais et chinois par Jolly Thinkers<\/a>, sympathique petit \u00e9diteur de Hong Kong. Ils cherchent des partenaires pour produire ce jeu dans d’autres langues et pays.<\/p>\n

Au tout d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000, j\u2019ai publi\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de petits jeux de cartes chez un \u00e9diteur aujourd\u2019hui disparu mais \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque assez important, Jeux Descartes. Les \u00ab\u00a0Blue Games\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9taient des jeux simples, dynamiques, avec un mat\u00e9riel minimal, et ils ont plut\u00f4t mieux vieilli que mes projets plus ambitieux. Le plus connu, L\u2019Or Des Dragons<\/a>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment repris par White Goblin et IDW. Corruption<\/a> est un peu l\u2019anc\u00eatre de l\u2019une de mes derni\u00e8res cr\u00e9ations, Venture Angels<\/a>. Castel<\/a>, con\u00e7u avec Serge Laget, devrait revenir en 2020, dans une version orientale et profond\u00e9ment remani\u00e9e. Democrazy<\/a> s\u2019inspirait d\u2019un jeu plus complexe et plus ancien encore, Das Regeln wir Schon, de Karl-Heinz Schmiel – et, non, je ne connaissais alors pas Nomic. Rebaptis\u00e9 Animocrazy, Democrazy revient donc en 2019 \u00e0 Hong Kong, et, oui, il y a l\u00e0 une certaine ironie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Animocrazy est un jeu d\u2019ambiance rapide et rigolo, qui gagne \u00e0 \u00eatre jou\u00e9 par des groupes assez nombreux. Chaque joueur dispose de jetons – pardon, de bonbons – de diff\u00e9rentes couleurs, qui en d\u00e9but de partie valent tous un point, de trois cartes vote (oui, non, et une carte sp\u00e9ciale) et d\u2019une main de cartes \u00ab propositions de loi \u00bb. Chacun \u00e0 son tour soumet au vote des joueurs une proposition de loi de sa main, qui, selon sa couleur rouge, bleue ou jaune peut soit avoir un effet imm\u00e9diat, soit modifier les r\u00e8gles du jeu, soit modifier le score en fin de partie. Plus le jeu avance, plus la combinaison des lois vot\u00e9es cr\u00e9e des configurations bizarres, parfois un peu tarabiscot\u00e9es et toujours amusantes. Bref, la d\u00e9mocratie, c\u2019est le bordel – mais il vaut mieux un bordel joyeux et sympathique qu\u2019un ordre propre, lourdingue et mortif\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Pour cette nouvelle \u00e9dition, Jolly Thinkers a modifi\u00e9 ou remplac\u00e9 quelques cartes, mais les syst\u00e8mes de base du jeu restent les m\u00eames. Graphiquement, ils ont opt\u00e9 pour un retour aux sources de la d\u00e9mocratie, avec un univers grec tout en colonnes doriques ou ioniques (ne me demandez pas la diff\u00e9rence), mais pas trop s\u00e9rieux quand m\u00eame car peupl\u00e9 des animaux rigolos et un peu patauds qui, depuis le succ\u00e8s de Pick-a-Dog et Pick-a-Pig, sont devenus la marque de l\u2019\u00e9diteur. On peut aussi y voir une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 la ferme des animaux.<\/p>\n

Animocrazy is a new edition of Democrazy<\/a>, now published in Chinese and English by Jolly Thinkers<\/a>, a nice and small publisher from Hong Kong. They are looking for partners to produce the game in other languages and countries.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

In the early 2000s, I designed a series of small card games published by what was then the main French publisher of modern board games, Jeux Descartes. The so-called \u00ab\u00a0Blue Games\u00a0\u00bb were light and fast paced card games with few components, and they aged much better than my bigger and more ambitious projects. The best known, Dragons Gold<\/a>, has recently been republished by White Goblin and IDW. Corruption<\/a> was the predecessor of one of my last designs, Venture Angels<\/a>. Castle, designed with Serge Laget, ought to be back in 2020 in a completely revamped edition. Democrazy<\/a> was inspired by an older design by Karl-Heinz Schmiel, Das Regeln Wir Schon – and, no, I didn\u2019t know yet about Nomic. Under the new name Animocrazy, Democrazy<\/a> is now back in Hong Kong – and, yes, there is some irony here.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Animocrazy is fast and fun party game, best played with a large group of 6 players or more. Each player has tokens – now candies – in different colors; at the beginning of the game they all have a value of one point. Each player also has three voting cards, one yes, one no, and a random special card, as well as a hand of law cards. Each player in turn submits a law to the players\u2019 vote. Depending on the card color, red, blue or gold, an accepted law card can have an instant effect, modify the game rules, or affect the final scoring. As the game goes on, the combination of voted laws creates strange, fun and sometimes convoluted situations. In the end, Democracy is a mess, but it\u2019s a fun and nice mess, which is so much better than a clean, heavy and often deadly order.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

For this new edition, Jolly Thinkers has modified or replaced many cards, but the basic systems are the same as in the original game.<\/em>
\nThe graphic setting is a cool and light mix. The fun and fat animals common to all the Jolly Thinkers games since Pick-a-Dog and Pick-a-Pig wear greek togae and hold speeches between ionic or doric (don\u2019t ask me) columns. One can also interpret it as a reference to Animal Farm.<\/em><\/p>\n
