Je fais tourner pas mal de protos ces derniers temps, des trucs avec des nains, des musiciens, des collectionneurs, des elfes et des vampires\u2026. Du coup, je ne joue pas \u00e0 tout ce qui sort, loin de l\u00e0, mais j\u2019essaie quand m\u00eame de rep\u00e9rer les perles, et il y en a. Ma pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente liste de conseils en nouveaut\u00e9s datait de l\u2019automne dernier (vous pouvez la lire ici, elle n\u2019a pas vieilli<\/a>), voici donc celle du printemps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

C\u00f4t\u00e9 gros jeux un peu \u00e0 l\u2019allemande mais pas trop, un peu \u00e0 l\u2019am\u00e9ricaine mais pas trop non plus, Eric Lang semble devenu incontournable. Apr\u00e8s les excellents Blood Rage et Le Parrain, Rising Sun<\/strong> est encore un chef d\u2019\u0153uvre. Le jeu est riche sans \u00eatre complexe, tactique mais \u00e9tonnamment fluide, on n\u2019y joue pas dans son coin mais sur tout le plateau de jeu, avec et surtout, contre les autres. Majorit\u00e9, baston, bluff, alliances, il y a de tout, mais ce n\u2019est jamais touffu. Un jour, Eric devrait commencer \u00e0 vieillir, mais pour l\u2019instant chacun de ses jeux est meilleur que les pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents. Comptez deux ou trois heures quand m\u00eame pour Rising Sun, mais vous en aurez pour votre argent – oui, je sais, ce jeu est assez cher.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bien plus l\u00e9ger, je conseille surtout Cursed Court<\/strong>, de Andrew Hanson, dont j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9 sur ce blog. Il est assez rare qu\u2019un jeu \u00ab\u00a0classique\u00a0\u00bb parvienne cr\u00e9er les m\u00eames sensations qu\u2019un jeu d\u2019argent, am\u00e8ne les joueurs \u00e0 faire des calculs qui tournent en rond en sirotant leur bi\u00e8re et en se regardant dans les yeux. Cursed Court fait \u00e7a tr\u00e8s bien. C\u2019est vraiment un jeu dans mon style, un jeu que j\u2019aurais aim\u00e9 concevoir. La boite est moche, le plateau est moche, les jetons ne sont pas des plus pratiques, mais d\u00e8s qu\u2019on est dans le jeu on oublie tout \u00e7a.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Les jeux de draft se ressemblent souvent, mais Fantasy Realms<\/strong>, de Bruce Glassco, renouvelle le genre avec une grande l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9. L\u2019\u00e9diteur semble avoir tout fait pour que ce jeu au titre bateau, au th\u00e8me ressass\u00e9, aux illustrations fades, au look vieillot, passe inaper\u00e7u, mais heureusement quelques joueurs l\u2019ont rep\u00e9r\u00e9. C\u2019est simple, c\u2019est rapide, c\u2019est rigolo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mon autre petit jeu de cartes du moment est Kittys<\/strong>, de Emi Yusuke. C\u2019est l\u2019un des jeux que j\u2019ai ramen\u00e9 de mon r\u00e9cent week-end au Japon, et il n\u2019est pour l\u2019instant disponible qu\u2019au Japon, mais j\u2019esp\u00e8re bien que quelqu\u2019un va le faire venir par ici. C\u2019est un petit jeu de \u00ab\u00a0double guessing\u00a0\u00bb de rien du tout mais avec un \u00ab\u00a0twist\u00a0\u00bb qui lui donne vraiment une saveur particuli\u00e8re, le fait qu\u2019\u00e0 chaque tour tout le monde essaie de deviner le m\u00eame joueur. Si un \u00e9diteur am\u00e9ricain ou europ\u00e9en est int\u00e9ress\u00e9, je me ferai un plaisir de le mettre en contact avec l\u2019auteur, qui a publi\u00e9 le premier tirage \u00e0 compte d\u2019auteur.<\/p>\n

Je terminerai cette liste avec deux jeux de vocabulaire, un qui prend vraiment la t\u00eate et un qui ne la prend pas du tout.
\nDecrypto<\/strong>, de Thomas Dagenais-Lesp\u00e9rance, fait un peu penser \u00e0 Codenames, un de mes jeux f\u00e9tiches, mais fonctionne diff\u00e9remment. Je n\u2019essaierai pas d\u2019expliquer les r\u00e8gles, simples mais d\u00e9concertantes, mais faites-moi confiance – si vous cherchez un Codenames plus costaud, Decrypto est ce qu\u2019il vous faut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Krazy Wordz<\/strong>, de Dirk Baumann, Thomas Odenhoven, Matthias Schmitt est un jeu de vocabulaire, mais c\u2019est aussi un jeu d\u2019ambiance dans lequel les joueurs, avec des lettres impos\u00e9es, doivent imaginer des mots nouveaux pour d\u00e9signer une voiture \u00e9lectrique, une nouvelle marque de Yaourth, un club \u00e9changiste ou une insulte en serbo-croate. Apr\u00e8s, bien s\u00fbr, il faut retrouver quel mot correspond \u00e0 quoi, et c\u2019est toujours tr\u00e8s dr\u00f4le.<\/p>\n

I have several prototypes in the work at the moment, with dwarves, musicians, collectors, elves and vampires. As a result, I don\u2019t play that many new games, but I try to spot the gems, hidden or not. My last list blogpost about good new games dates from last autumn (you can read it there, most of the stuff there still feels new<\/a>), so here comes the spring list.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eric Lang has become the major designer of relatively heavy eurogames-ameritrash hybrids. Blood Rage and The Godfather were great, Rising Sun<\/strong> is even better. It\u2019s rich but not complex, it\u2019s tactical but also fluid and fast paced. most of all, it\u2019s extremely interactive, one must always move around the board and play with and also against the other players. It has majority, battles, alliances, double guessing, but it never feels overwhelming. Some day, Eric ought to start getting old, but so far every new game he designs is better than the former ones. Be warned though, it\u2019s still a gamers\u2019 game, and lasts about three hours. And it\u2019s expensive, but worth the price.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have already spoken here of Andrew Hanson\u2019s Cursed Court<\/strong>. It\u2019s one of the very few boardgames which manage to generate the same feeling, the same tension as a gambling game, with players thinking in circles while looking into each other\u2019s eyes and slowly drinking their beer. It\u2019s definitely my kind of game, and a game I would have liked to design. The box is ugly, the board is ugly, the chips are not the best ones, but who cares, the game is fantastic.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Card drafting game often feel very similar, but Bruce Glassco\u2019s Fantasy Realms<\/strong> has a nice twist in the way cards are chosen. The publisher did everything he could to have this small card game go unnoticed – bland name, bland graphics, bland fantasy setting – but luckily some gamers noticed it. It\u2019s simple, fast and fun.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My other small card game of the moment is Ami Yusuke\u2019s Kittys<\/strong>. This is one of the games I brought back from a week-end in Japan. So far it\u2019s only available there, but I hope someone will bring it here. It\u2019s a very light double-guessing game with a nice twist, the fact that every round all players are trying to outguess the same player. If a US or European publisher wants to localise this little gem, just tell me, I\u2019ll put you in contact with the designer and publisher.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s end with two word game, a brain burning one and a light zany one.<\/em>
\nDecrypto<\/strong>, by Thomas Dagenais-Lesp\u00e9rance, feels a bit like a hardcore version of Codenames, one of my all time favorites. I won\u2019t try to explain the rules here, they are simple but a bit disconcerting at first. Just trust me – if you like codenames and look for something more challenging, Decrypto is what you need.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Krazy Wordz<\/strong>, by Dirk Baumann, Thomas Odenhoven and Matthias Schmitt, i a party game in which players use their own small set of letters to invent new words for a new model of electric car, a new brand of yogurt, a swingers\u2019 club or an insult in Serbo-Croat. Of course, one must then guess what word was what.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
