Je n’ai, ces derniers temps, jou\u00e9 qu’\u00e0 deux gros jeux, un tout nouveau et tr\u00e8s discut\u00e9 sur le \u00ab\u00a0web ludique\u00a0\u00bb, Scythe<\/strong>, et un plus ancien mais nouveau pour moi, Concordia<\/strong>. \u00c0 premi\u00e8re vue, tout, \u00e0 commencer par des noms qui sugg\u00e8rent la guerre et la paix, semble opposer ces deux jeux. Scythe, de Jamey Stiegmaier, se pr\u00e9sente comme un gros jeu de baston \u00e0 l\u2019am\u00e9ricaine, sur un th\u00e8me uchronique magnifiquement servi par les illustrations r\u00e9alistes et baroques de Jakob Rozalski. Concordia, de Max Gerdts, se veut un jeu de commerce et de gestion \u00e0 l\u2019allemande, tr\u00e8s pacifique, et il vaut mieux ne pas parler des illustrations. Ils sont pourtant plus proches qu\u2019il n\u2019y parait. On ne combat pas tant que cela dans Scythe, et l\u2019on rivalise autant que l\u2019on \u00e9change dans Concordia. Nous avons l\u00e0 en fait deux gros jeux de d\u00e9veloppement, dans lesquels chaque joueur \u00ab\u00a0construit son logiciel\u00a0\u00bb en gardant un \u0153il attentif sur les actions de ses rivaux – plut\u00f4t pour s\u2019en rapprocher dans Concordia et s\u2019en \u00e9loigner dans Scythe. Scythe fait aussi un peu penser \u00e0 Cthulhu Wars, et je pense que c’est Scythe qui va rester.<\/p>\n La boite de Isle of Skye<\/strong>, d\u2019Andreas Pelikan et Alexander Pfister, est plus petite, mais le jeu reste bien calculatoire. C\u2019est un jeu de pose de tuiles \u00e0 la Carcassonne, et qui plus est o\u00f9 chacun construit son petit royaume dans son coin, un genre qui \u00e0 priori ne me s\u00e9duit gu\u00e8re. \u00c7a marche pourtant, parce que c\u2019est dynamique, relativement vari\u00e9, et plus interactif qu\u2019il n\u2019y parait, grace aux ench\u00e8res – et \u00e7a, j\u2019aime toujours. On dirait du Knizia d\u2019il y a quinze ans – ce pourrait \u00eatre un reproche, mais l\u00e0 c\u2019est un compliment.<\/p>\n Petits jeux<\/strong><\/p>\n Richard Garfield semble ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es se sp\u00e9cialiser dans les jeux que j\u2019aurais pu faire, \u00e0 moins que ce ne soit l\u2019inverse. Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, je me suis bien amus\u00e9 avec Greedy Greedy Goblins<\/strong>. Les gobelins, \u00e7a creuse vite, tr\u00e8s vite, tous en m\u00eame temps, en sortant de la mine des trucs et des machins sans vraiment prendre le temps de les regarder, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que quelqu\u2019un d\u00e9cide de filer avec l\u2019un des tas.<\/p>\n Animals on Board<\/strong>, de\u00a0 Wolfgang Senkte et Ralf zur Linde, et un petit jeu de cartes – m\u00eame si ce sont des tuiles – qui propose un m\u00e9lange astucieux de \u00ab\u00a0stop ou encore\u00a0\u00bb et de \u00ab\u00a0je partage, tu choisis\u00a0\u00bb. Comme pour Concordia, je ne dirai rien sur les illustrations, mais le jeu est vraiment tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able.<\/p>\n Yesss!<\/strong> de Romaric Galonier, est bas\u00e9 sur un concept voisin de celui de Codenames, mais cr\u00e9e des sensations tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rentes. On n\u2019y associe en effet que des paires d\u2019images et, surtout, un syst\u00e8me astucieux permet de mettre les autres joueurs au d\u00e9fi de faire trouver telle ou telle paire, tout en se r\u00e9servant le droit de le faire s\u2019ils refusent. \u00c7a aussi, c\u2019est malin et amusant.<\/p>\n Gaijin Dash<\/strong>, d\u2019Antoine Bauza et Corentin Lebrat, est un jeu de rapidit\u00e9 idiot dans lequel les joueurs sont des \u00e9trangers en visite au Japon et ayant la mauvaise id\u00e9e de ne pas attendre le feu vert pour traverser, comportement antisocial et extr\u00eamement dangereux. C\u2019est tr\u00e8s b\u00eate, et c\u2019est tr\u00e8s dr\u00f4le.<\/p>\n With the big crates of games I got at Gen Con arriving one of these days, it\u2019s high time I write a short article about the good games I\u2019ve been playing these last months. There are not that many, mostly because I spent much time on prototypes.<\/em><\/p>\n Heavier stuff<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n These last months, I\u2019ve played two good and rather heavy games. One, Scythe<\/strong>, is brand new and largely discussed on boardgaming websites. The other one, Concordia<\/strong>, is already three years old but was new to me. At first look, these two games, whose names suggest war and peace, seem to be completely different. Jamey Stiegmaier\u2019s Scythe looks like a big american style wargame, with a nice uchronic setting wonderfully rendered by Jakob Rozalski\u2019s baroque and realistic graphics. Max Gerdt\u2019s Concordia looks like a typical German style trading and development game, and better not say anything about the graphics. These two games are more similar than they seem to be. There are not that many fights in Scythe, and there is as much rivalry as trade in Concordia. Both are heave development games in which each player carefully builds his engine, while keeping a very close look at what opponents are doing – even when it\u2019s more often to get nearer to them in Concordia and stay far from them in Scythe. Scythe also reminds a bit of Cthulhu Wars, and I think the one that will stay is Scythe.<\/em><\/p>\n The box of Andreas Pelikan and Alexander Pfister\u2019s Isle of Skye<\/strong> is much smaller, but the game is still a brain burner. A Carcassonne like tile laying game in which each player builds his tiny kingdom in front of him, with no common board was not right up my alley. I enjoyed it a lot, because it\u2019s dynamic, varied, and more interactive than it looks, mostly due to the auction system – and I like auctions. It feels like an older Reiner Knizia game – I know, this could be a reproach, but here it\u2019s a praise.<\/em><\/p>\n Lighter stuff<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It looks like Richard Garfield is more and more designing the kind of games I could design, or may be it\u2019s the reverse. Anyway, I had lots of fun playing Greedy Greedy Goblins<\/strong>. Goblins dig fast, all at the same time, and a goblin mine is usually a great mess. they take out shining stuff in various shapes and colors, without seriously looking at it until someone grabs a pile and leaves with it. It\u2019s a fun and clever game.<\/em><\/p>\n Wolfgang Senkte and Ralf zur Linde\u2019s Animals on Board<\/strong> is a nice little card game – even when cards are actually tiles – mixing two systems I like \u00ab\u00a0double or quits\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0I share, you choose\u00a0\u00bb. Like with Concordia, better not say anything about the graphics, but the important part is the game, and it\u2019s great.<\/em><\/p>\n Romaric Galonier\u2019s Yesss!<\/strong> is based on a concept very similar with Codenames, but plays very differently. Pictures are only associated in pairs and, most of all, a clever rule allows to challenge other players to play a specific pair, while keeping the possibility to play it if they refuse. It\u2019s fast, clever and fun.<\/em><\/p>\n Antoine Bauza and Corentin Lebrat\u2019s Gaijin Dash<\/strong> is a rapidity game in which players are foreigners\u00a0 visiting Japan and trying to cross the street before the light is green – a terribly dangerous and antisocial behavior. This game is good stupid fun.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il faut vite que je fasse un petit article sur les bons jeux auxquels j\u2019ai jou\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment avant que n\u2019arrive la caisse que je me suis fait envoyer apr\u00e8s la Gen Con.
