Et puis, le temps a pass\u00e9, et nous avions compl\u00e8tement oubli\u00e9 cette \u00e9dition chinoise&#8230; jusqu&#8217;\u00e0 apprendre cette semaine qu&#8217;elle \u00e9tait en cours d&#8217;impression et allait sortir dans les semaines qui viennent, sous le nom de &#8220;la f\u00eate des insectes&#8221;. Ce ne sont en effet plus des monstres qui font la f\u00eate, mais des insectes, fourmis, scarab\u00e9es et cafards. Les petits gar\u00e7ons sont devenus des araign\u00e9es, les croque morts des grenouilles, les citrouilles des lucioles. Outre qu&#8217;elle est tr\u00e8s bien illustr\u00e9e, cette \u00e9dition en chinois introduit trois nouvelles cartes optionnelles, la libellule, la punaise et le termite.<br \/>\nIl est assez amusant d&#8217;avoir, pour un m\u00eame jeu, trois \u00e9ditions diff\u00e9rentes &#8211; qui toutes les trois reprennent en couverture le visuel de la porte \u00e0 laquelle on frappe, ce qui est effectivement le gimmick du jeu &#8211; Toc toc toc, qui est l\u00e0 ? Trois styles donc, qui ne sont pas particuli\u00e8rement am\u00e9ricain, europ\u00e9en ou chinois, juste diff\u00e9rents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2238\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/blog\/2013\/05\/01\/bug-fest\/print\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,453\" 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;1367416451&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;Print&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Toc Toc Toc\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial-1024x309.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2238\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial-1024x309.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"584\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial-1024x309.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial-500x151.jpg 500w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BUGFESTspecial.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Knock Knock ! is not my most popular card game, is not talked about a lot on the web, but, at least in France, it sells steadily &#8211; probably mostly around Halloween &#8211; and is regularly reprinted by Asmod\u00e9e. The US edition, made by a friendly small publisher, Jolly Roger, didn&#8217;t sell that well and was not reprinted.<br \/>\nIn 2008, Gwena\u00ebl and I signed with a Taiwanese publisher, Kanga Games, for a Chinese version of the game. Time went by, it didn&#8217;t show up, and I had forgotten about it when, last week, I learned that it was being printed and will hit the shelves soon. It&#8217;s called, in Chinese, Bug Fest. It&#8217;s still about having a party, but the monsters, ghosts and vampires have become insects &#8211; ants, beetles and cockroaches. Nerds are now spiders, grim reapers frogs, and headless horsemen are fireflies. There are even three new optional cards to bring more action in the game, sink bug, termite and damselfly.<br \/>\nIt is quite funny to have, for a little known game, three different editions, with completely different graphics &#8211; though the cover all emphasize the &#8220;knock knock at the door&#8221; gimmick which is the base of the game. Three styles, not really american, european or chinese, just different, and I like it.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kk_cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kk_cover-190x300.jpg\" alt=\"Knock Knock - Box\" width=\"190\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/boite.jpg\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/boite-300x297.jpg\" alt=\"Toc Toc Toc - boite\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On ne parle gu\u00e8re de Toc Toc Toc! mais c&#8217;est un petit jeu de bluff sans pr\u00e9tention qui, en France, continue tout doucement \u00e0 se vendre, avec sans doute une pointe au moment d&#8217;Halloween, et qu&#8217;Asmod\u00e9e r\u00e9imprime assez r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement.
