Si mes premiers jeux furent publi\u00e9s \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es quatre-vingt, ce sont surtout trois petits jeux de cartes sortis au tout d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es deux-mille, Citadelles<\/a>, Castel<\/a> (avec Serge Laget) et L\u2019Or des Dragons, qui m\u2019ont fait conna\u00eetre. Citadelles est toujours l\u00e0, et son succ\u00e8s ne se d\u00e9ment pas. Apr\u00e8s bien des vicissitudes, puisque deux contrats ont \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9s avec des \u00e9diteurs qui ont par la suite abandonn\u00e9 le projet, j\u2019ai r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9 les droits de Castel et ne d\u00e9sesp\u00e8re pas de lui retrouver un \u00e9diteur. L\u2019Or des Dragons a connu plusieurs \u00e9ditions, chez diff\u00e9rents \u00e9diteurs, mais n\u2019\u00e9tait plus disponible depuis quelques ann\u00e9es. Il revient en 2024 chez un jeune \u00e9diteur espagnol, Samaruc, dans une \u00e9dition au graphisme baroque de Jose David Lansa Cebrian at au mat\u00e9riel luxueux. Les gemmes marqu\u00e9es de symboles rendent enfin ce jeu tr\u00e8s color\u00e9 accessible aux daltoniens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon\u2019s Gold, puisqu\u2019il porte d\u00e9sormais ce nom anglais dans toutes les \u00e9ditions, est un jeu de cartes et de n\u00e9gociations en temps limit\u00e9, fond\u00e9 sur une id\u00e9e toute simple qui rappellera des souvenirs \u00e0 bien des vieux r\u00f4listes. S\u2019ils sont suffisamment nombreux et arm\u00e9s, il est assez facile \u00e0 une bande d\u2019aventuriers sinon d\u2019occire un dragon, du moins de l\u2019assommer pour s\u2019emparer de ses richesses. Les vrais difficult\u00e9s commencent au moment de se partager le tr\u00e9sor encore chaud. <\/p>\n\n\n

Chaque joueur \u00e0 son tour place donc une carte guerrier, voleur ou magicien sous une carte dragon et, pouf, d\u00e8s que le groupe est assez nombreux, le monstre est mis hors de combat. On retourne alors un sablier, et les joueurs disposent d\u2019une minute pour s\u2019entendre sur le partage des pi\u00e8ces d\u2019or et d\u2019argent, des gemmes et des objets magiques. S\u2019ils n\u2019y parviennent pas \u00e0 temps, la b\u00eate qui n\u2019\u00e9tait qu\u2019\u00e9tourdie se r\u00e9veille, et nos aventuriers trop cupides et imprudents repartent en courant. Parfois, le dragon est bien mort, mais le vent porte vite la rumeur dans les montagnes, et il ne faut gu\u00e8re plus d\u2019une minute \u00e0 ses h\u00e9ritiers pour pointer le bout de leur museau.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

L\u2019Or des dragons est un jeu dynamique et tendu, qui alterne placements de cartes murement r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis, coups bas et n\u00e9gociations fr\u00e9n\u00e9tiques. Le syst\u00e8me de score fait que chacun a des int\u00e9r\u00eats un peu diff\u00e9rents dans le partage des tr\u00e9sors, les objets magiques apportent une bonne dose d\u2019inattendu, et les promesses n\u2019engagent que ceux qui y croient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While my first boardgames were published in the early eighties, I only really became an established game designer in the early 2000s, with three small card games published almost simultaneously, Citadels<\/a>, Castle<\/a> (with Serge Laget) and Dragon\u2019s Gold. Citadels is still around, and still my best seller. Things have been a bit messy with Castle, since two contracts were signed with publishers who later gave up the project – I now have the rights back again and am ready to discuss with any publisher interested. Dragon\u2019s Gold has had several editions, with different publishers, but was out of print for a few years. It is back in 2024, thanks to a young Spanish publisher, Samaruc. This new edition has baroque art by Jose David Lansa Cebrian, and cute plastic gems with symbols – for the first time, this multicolored game will be playable by colorblinds.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon\u2019s Gold is a card placement and real-time negotiation game, whose premise will be familiar to old D&D players. If they are numerous enough, strong enough and well armed, a party of adventurers can always if not kill a dragon, at least knock it unconscious for a while to steal its hoard. The difficult part is not to overcome the beast, it is to divide the still warm treasure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Each player on turn plays a warrior, thief or wizard card under a dragon, and as soon as the group is strong enough, the monster is neutralized. Then a 1 minute sand timer is flipped, and the players involved have 1 minute to divide the loot made of gold, silver, gems and magic items. If they can\u2019t do it in time, the stunned beast wakes up and the greedy and careless adventurers run away at full speed. Well, sometimes the dragon is really dead, but rumor flies fast with the mountain wind, and its legitimate heirs need little more than one minute to show up.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Dragon\u2019s Gold is a fast paced and fun card game. It alternates between carefully managed card placement, frenzied negotiations and unashamed backstabbing. The scoring system makes dividing the loot quite intricate, magic item cards add some unexpected events, and promises bind only those who believe them. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
