Les joueurs choisissent d\u2019abord des cartes action et musicien et constituent chacun un groupe amateur d\u2019au moins quatre membres, un chanteur, un guitariste, un bassiste et batteur. Chacun quitte ensuite sa r\u00e9gion d\u2019origine pour une vaste tourn\u00e9e, allant de ville en ville, donnant des concerts, recrutant \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de meilleurs musiciens, embauchant m\u00eame parfois des dragons pour le transport et les lumi\u00e8res. Les concerts les plus r\u00e9ussis, ceux qui rapportent le plus de points, sont dans les cit\u00e9s qui ont soif de culture, celles o\u00f9 l\u2019on n\u2019a pas vu passer grand monde depuis longtemps, et surtout dans celles dont le public est particuli\u00e8rement r\u00e9ceptif \u00e0 votre style musical \u2013 en gros, les nains aiment la musique de nains et les trolls la musique de trolls.&nbsp;S\u2019il est peu utile d\u2019essayer de jouer de la pop elfe chez les trolls, des big bands de fusion multiculturelle peuvent tirer leur \u00e9pingle du jeu un peu partout, surtout s\u2019ils recrutent quelques figures marginales, gnome ou kobold, ou exotiques, sir\u00e8ne ou minotaure. Des \u00e9v\u00e9nements impr\u00e9vus, d\u00e9saccords entre musiciens, temp\u00eate de neige ou gilets jaunes, viennent parfois semer le trouble.

Les r\u00e8gles en sont pourtant tr\u00e8s simples, puisque celles de nos prototypes tenaient sur une simple feuille de papier A4. Le jeu \u00e9tant rest\u00e9 en d\u00e9veloppement assez longtemps, et mes amis demandant souvent \u00e0 jouer sur le prototype, Camille et moi avons sans cesse \u00e9t\u00e9 tent\u00e9s d&#8217;y ajouter de petits \u00e9l\u00e9ments th\u00e9matiques qui nous semblaient rigolos. Pendant quelques temps, nous avons m\u00eame essay\u00e9 de personnaliser encore plus les musiciens, quelques uns d&#8217;entre-eux \u00e9tant de vraies stars avec des nombreux fans, mais ayant, comme toutes les stars, des caprices &#8211; un chanteur elfe raciste refuse de jouer avec des nains, un orque ne se produit pas dans les villes elfes, un nain a peur des dragons et ne se d\u00e9place pas par voie a\u00e9rienne, un autre a le mal de mer et ne monte pas sur les navires. Tr\u00e8s amusants sur le papier, ces effets qui \u00e9taient surtout des restrictions, ralentissaient le jeu et \u00e9taient souvent oubli\u00e9s, nous avons donc d\u00fb les abandonner. Aujourd&#8217;hui, surtout avec l&#8217;effet kickstarter, beaucoup d&#8217;auteurs de jeux sont tent\u00e9s de toujours ajouter des \u00e9l\u00e9ments \u00e0 leur cr\u00e9ation. Il ne faut pas se l&#8217;interdire, et dans <em>TrollFest<\/em> le jour de la marmotte est par exemple un ajout de derni\u00e8re minute qui ajoute un peu de tension, mais je voudrais profiter de cet article pour donner ce conseil aux jeunes auteurs: m\u00e9fiez-vous des petites r\u00e8gles qui ont l&#8217;air marrantes mais qui, finalement, apportent surtout de la complexit\u00e9. Quand les joueurs oublient souvent une r\u00e8gle, cela signifie g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement qu&#8217;elle est inutile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

At the beginning of the game, players draft action and musician cards and build an amateur band of at least four musicians, a singer, a drummer, a guitar and a bass guitar player. Every group then leaves its starting city for a big tour around the country, moving from town to town, holding concerts, sometimes recruiting additional or better musicians, sometimes even hiring dragons for the final light show. The main way to score points during the tour is to give concerts. The most successful ones are in the cities where the local crowd is most receptive to your musical style \u2013 basically, dwarves like dwarven music played by dwarven musicians, trolls like troll music played by trolls, etc. While playing elf pop in orc city halls makes little sense, multicultural big bands can have some success everywhere, especially if they also recruit a few exotic characters, like a siren or minotaur. Unexpected events such as disagreement between musicians, snow storm or yellow vests blocking the roads sometimes interfere with the band\u2019s well planned tours. Nothing is more classy, of course, than to arrive on a dragon\u2019s back to end one\u2019s tour in one\u2019s home city.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XyaDuLHzj7o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Then comes the big rock festival, the <\/em>TrollFest<em>, named after <\/em>HellFest<em>.

If this game is good press for them, may be they\u2019ll reciprocate!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"584\" data-attachment-id=\"12460\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/trollfest-extra\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1855,2400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Trollfest extra\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-278x360.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-451x584.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-451x584.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-451x584.jpg 451w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-278x360.jpg 278w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-116x150.jpg 116w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Trollfest-extra.jpg 1855w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>David made this exra drawing just for fun, let&#8217;s hope we&#8217;ll find some place for it in the rules.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>With its big square box, lots of cards and various tokens, and several ways of scoring points,  <\/em>Trollfest<em> might look like a big and intimidating game. It isn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s almost as straightforward as <\/em>Ticket to Ride<em>, and the rules of my prototype were written on a single sheet a paper. However, since the game was in development for quite a long time, and some of my friends really liked it and often asked to play it, Camille and I were often tempted to add a thematic elements which sounded like they could add some fun to it. For a while, some musician cards had special abilities or, mostly, restrictions. A few of them were big names with, like every star, bizarre whims. A racist elf singer didn&#8217;t want dwarves in the band. An orc didn&#8217;t want to play in elf cities. A dwarf was afraid of dragons and coul not travel by air, another one suffered from seatsickness. This sounded fun when writing it, but it slowed the game and, too often, the players forgot these effects so we had to abandon them. These last years, in part due to publishers asking for Kickstarter stretch-goals, many designers have been tempted to add layers and layers of rules and elements to their game, and many games feel interesting but overdevelopped. The late addition of stuff is not always a bad idea, and in Trollfest, for example, the Groundhog Day has been added in the very last weeks of testing and really adds some fun tension to the game. I would like, however, to give a small piece of advice to young designers &#8211; be careful when adding small rules which sound fun and thematic but often add unnecessary complexity. If players tend to forget a rule, it usually means it&#8217;s not necessary. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7
