Un plateau de jeu repr\u00e9sentant le cercle de pierres lev\u00e9es de Stonehenge, des pions figurant les grands dolmens centraux, et quelques druides ou aliens de diverses couleurs, un jeu de cartes. \u00c0 partir de ce mat\u00e9riel, choisi d’un commun accord apr\u00e8s bien des discussions, nous sommes cinq \u00e0 avoir con\u00e7u des jeux sur le th\u00e8me de Stonehenge. Pr\u00e9sentez-vous donc \u00e0 l’\u00e9lection du grand druide lors de la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie du solstice, lancez des sorts plein d’\u00e9clairs multicolores abrit\u00e9s derri\u00e8re les menhirs, slalomez entre les pierres dans une violente course de machines volantes, affrontez les fant\u00f4mes des chevaliers du roi Arthur, ou achetez simplement ces belles pierres au bourgmestre pour b\u00e2tir votre ferme – \u00e0 vous de choisir entre ces cinq jeux imagin\u00e9s par cinq auteurs diff\u00e9rents, et d’en imaginer d’autres ensuite.<\/p>\n

Stonehenge \u00e9tait un projet tr\u00e8s ambitieux, r\u00e9unir des auteurs aux styles tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rents pour concevoir ensemble un mat\u00e9riel tr\u00e8s versatile permettant de construire d\u2019innombrable jeux de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 diff\u00e9rents. Chacun, bien s\u00fbr, devait aussi imaginer un premier jeu utilisant ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments. Le th\u00e8me de Stonehenge nous semblait bien choisi, les innombrables th\u00e9ories plus ou moins farfelues quant \u00e0 la nature de ce lieu pouvant permettre d\u2019imaginer bien des jeux. Nous ne voulions pas seulement que les gens jouent \u00e0 nos jeux, nous voulions qu\u2019ils s\u2019approprient le mat\u00e9riel de Stonehenge, cartes, pions et plateau de jeu, pour en imaginer d\u2019autres.<\/p>\n

Cela n\u2019a pas vraiment march\u00e9. Certes, une cinquantaine de r\u00e8gles de jeux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 post\u00e9es sur le site de l\u2019\u00e9diteur dans les mois qui ont suivi la sortie du jeu, mais cela s\u2019est ensuite arr\u00eat\u00e9 l\u00e0, malgr\u00e9 une extension avec des jeux de Bruno Cathala, Serge Laget, Andrew Looney et Klaus- J\u00fcrgen Wrede . Un autre projet similaire, celui d\u2019Andrew Looney avec ses Icehouse pyramids, sans doute plus versatiles, a eu plus de succ\u00e8s et est en passe de devenir un nouveau classique.<\/p>\n

A board figuring the standing stones circle of Stonehenge, pawns figuring the five central dolmens and some druids or aliens in different colors, and a card game. With these generic components, decided after long email discussions, five designers have imagined five different games about Stonehenge. Will you take part in the summer solstice druidic election? Will you cast fireballs and lightning balls spells, hidden behind the great stones? Will you take part in the alien chariot race and slalom around the menhirs? Will you fight the ghost of the arthurian knights? or will you, more prosaically, buy the big stones from the town council and use them in building your farm? Or may be design your own game using our versatile set of components.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stonehenge was a very ambitious project. Five game authors of very different styles gathered to design a versatile set of components that could used to design hundreds of different boardgames. Of course, each one of us also designed a game in order to start the pump. The Stonehenge setting was chosen because of the many different zany theories about this place, which could give the them for many games. We didn\u2019t only want players to play our games, we wanted them to get hold of all the elements, cards, tokens, board and design their own.<\/em><\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t work. A few dozen game rules were published on the publisher\u2019s website immediately after the game was published, but it then stalled, even when a small expansion with games by\u00a0Bruno Cathala, Serge Laget, Andrew Looney et Klaus- J\u00fcrgen Wrede\u00a0 was published.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another similar project, Andrew Looney\u2019s icehouse pyramids, was far more successful and is becoming a true classic.<\/em><\/p>\n
