Cannes devient vraiment le grand festival fran\u00e7ais du jeu de soci\u00e9t\u00e9, les exposants sont de plus en plus nombreux, et dans la foule du samedi, on se croirait presque \u00e0 Essen.<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019ai vu les premiers dessins de la future extension de <strong>Mascarade<\/strong>, j\u2019ai enfin fait la connaissance de l\u2019illustrateur Jeremy Masson. On s\u2019est \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s mis d\u2019accord avec les belges sur le choix des personnages, mais on cherche toujours un titre.<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019ai sign\u00e9 pour trois petits jeux de cartes chez <strong>Sweet November<\/strong>, la nouvelle boite de Didier Jacob\u00e9e, ancien de Tilsit\u00a0; le tout premier, illustr\u00e9 par mon ami David Cochard, devrai sortir \u00e0 la fin de l\u2019ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019avais amen\u00e9 quelques prototypes, mais je n\u2019y ai pas vraiment jou\u00e9, pr\u00e9f\u00e9rant essayer ceux de mes amis et m\u00eame parfois de gens dont j\u2019ai appris ensuite qu\u2019ils \u00e9taient cens\u00e9s \u00eatre mes ennemis. J\u2019ai discut\u00e9 de sujets aussi passionnants que la pertinence de la th\u00e9orie du discours de Foucault et du postcolonialisme d\u2019Edward Sa\u00efd pour l\u2019analyse des jeux de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 (si, si!). Je me suis promen\u00e9 un peu sur la Croisette et en ville, ce qui m\u2019a donn\u00e9 l\u2019occasion de me faire accoster par des prostitu\u00e9es en voiture \u2013 j\u2019avais toujours cru qu\u2019elles \u00e9taient \u00e0 pied et que c\u2019\u00e9tait les clients potentiels qui \u00e9taient en voiture, mais il semble que ce soit l\u2019inverse \u00e0 Cannes.<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019ai jou\u00e9 \u00e0 quelques tr\u00e8s bons jeux. Z\u00e9bulon est un dr\u00f4le de petit jeu de mots et de lettres. \u00a0<strong>Medieval Academy<\/strong>, joliment illustr\u00e9 par mon ami Pier\u00f4, est un jeu de draft l\u00e9ger et amusant. <strong>Sold Out<\/strong> est un jeu de rapidit\u00e9 sur le th\u00e8me des soldes. <strong>Doodle Quest<\/strong> est un jeu de dessin de Laurent Escoffier (comment fait-il celui l\u00e0 pour avoir toujours des id\u00e9es aussi simples et originales ?). <strong>La Nuit du Grand Poulpe<\/strong> me r\u00e9concilierait presque avec l\u2019ennuyeux Lovecraft, et en tout cas le rend presque amusant. Le futur jeu de pirates des <strong>Space Cowboys<\/strong>, qui change de titre r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement rappelle, en bien plus dynamique et agressif, certains bons vieux jeux des ann\u00e9es soixante-dix. Et puis, ce n\u2019est pas vraiment une nouveaut\u00e9, mais j\u2019ai encore ri en jouant \u00e0 <strong>Panic Cafard<\/strong> et \u00e0 <strong>Vite, Cachons Nous\u00a0! <\/strong>qui ne sont pas que pour les enfants.<\/p>\n<p>Je peux m\u00eame conseiller quelques jeux auxquels je n\u2019ai pas jou\u00e9 mais que j\u2019ai regard\u00e9 avec attention, ou dont j\u2019ai entendu suffisamment d\u2019\u00e9chos concordants en provenance de personnes de confiance. Le futur gros jeu de <strong>Bruno Cathala<\/strong> chez Days of Wonder a encore quelques petits probl\u00e8mes de th\u00e8me, puisqu\u2019on y s\u00e8me des pyramides et des chameaux qui poussent sans m\u00eame qu\u2019on les arrose, mais le jeu est tellement malin et profond qu\u2019on oublie vite ces d\u00e9tails, qui de toute fa\u00e7on vont \u00eatre r\u00e9gl\u00e9s. <strong>Braverats<\/strong> est un jeu minimaliste japonais d\u00e9guis\u00e9 en \u00e9cossais, mais les japonais font aussi du tr\u00e8s bon whisky. <strong>Elemon<\/strong>, publi\u00e9 par des inconnus, semble avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 la surprise du salon, un jeu de jeu parcours assez m\u00e9chant, au th\u00e8me bizarre et aux illustrations adorables. Sur <strong>Splendor<\/strong>, les avis sont partag\u00e9s \u2013 il y a ceux qui trouvent que c\u2019est vachement bien mais pas vraiment original, et ceux qui trouvent que ce n\u2019est vraiment pas original mais quand m\u00eame vachement bien. D\u00e9sol\u00e9 pour tous les jeux que j\u2019oublie\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Bien s\u00fbr, avant les jeux, il y a les gens&#8230;. mais \u00e7a, pas la peine d&#8217;en parler sur mon blog ou d&#8217;essayer d&#8217;en faire une liste &#8211; juste merci \u00e0 tous.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3509\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/03\/02\/bref-compte-rendu-de-trois-jours-a-cannes-brief-report-of-three-days-in-cannes\/affiche-fij-20141\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1536,2048\" 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;}\" data-image-title=\"Cannes\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3509\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"affiche-fij-20141\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/affiche-fij-20141.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m back from the Cannes game fair, after three long days of fun. Cannes has now become the big French game fair, though it still lacks a bit in the international aspect. There are more exhibitors every year, and in the Saturday crowd, it feels like Essen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ve seen the first drawings for the <strong>Mascarade<\/strong> expansion, I\u2019ve met for the first time the illustrator, Jeremy Masson, and we\u2019ve nearly made the final choice of characters \u2013 though we\u2019re still looking for a nice name for this expansion.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0I\u2019ve signed for three lighter games with <strong>Sweet November<\/strong>, a small new French company. The first one, with drawings by my friend David Cochard, ought to be published by the end of the year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I had brought several prototypes, but I didn\u2019t play them. I rather played games designed or published by friends prototypes, and even by people I later learned were supposed to be enemies. I discussed strange topics, such as the relevance of Foucault\u2019s theory of discourse and Sa\u00efd\u2019s postcolonialism in the analysis of games. I walked a bit on the strand and in the city, and was even accosted by prostitutes in a luxury car \u2013 I had always thought that prostitutes were walking and prospective clients were driving cars, but things seems to go the other way in Cannes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Among the best games I played at the fair were <strong>Zebulon<\/strong>, a clever and original word game, but completely language dependent, so don\u2019t look for it if you don\u2019speak French. <strong>Medieval Academy<\/strong>, gorgeously illustrated by my friend Pier\u00f4, is a light and fast paced drafting game.<b> Sold Out<\/b> is a fast reaction card game about sales. <strong>La Nuit du Grand Poulpe<\/strong> (Night of the Great Octopus) makes the lovecraftian universe almost fun. The pirate game to be soon published by the <strong>Space Cowboys<\/strong> has no name yet, or rather a new one every day, and feels like good old boardgames from the seventies \u2013 but much faster, nasty and dynamic. And I had great fun playing <strong>La Cucarach<\/strong>, which is not only for children.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I may even recommend several games I didn\u2019t play, either because I carefully\u00a0 looked at them being played, or because I heard consistent reports of how good they are. \u00a0The next big <strong>Bruno Cathala<\/strong> game to be published by Days of Wonder is about sowing grains in the desert to grow camels and pyramids, so it still has some thematic issues, but it\u2019s incredibly clever and I\u2019m eager to play it. <strong>Braverats<\/strong> is a Japanese minimalistic games about Scottish rats \u2013 why not, Japanese already make the best whiskies. <strong>Elemon<\/strong> is an incredibly cute and thematically strange race and card-combo game \u2013 in fact, I didn\u2019t really understand how it works, but everybody was having fun and several trustful friends told me this was their game of the show. Despite its gorgeous tokens, <strong>Splendor<\/strong> manages to look like a totally unoriginal german style card game, and those who played it told that it\u2019s a totally unoriginal german style card game, but nevertheless\u00a0 one of the very best of its kind. Sorry for all the games I forgot&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, one doesn not go to a game fair just for games &#8211; it&#8217;s also for people, but there&#8217;s no need to talk of everyone here, and I won&#8217;t even try to make a list &#8211; just thanks to you all !<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Je rentre du festival de jeu de Cannes, apr\u00e8s trois jours bien remplis.
