Palaver

Palabres was awarded “best word game” at the Charité sur Loire Word Festival.     Letters, words, laughter.   Scan as many words as possible containing the 3 letters returned.     Here is a word game in which listening is as important as speaking, and which will make you say a host of unexpected words!   Discover 3 letters. Example: C I E.   You have 75 seconds to find as many words as possible that contain these 3 letters (in the order C I E or E I C). For each word spoken, take a yellow token from the table. Bonus for whoever says the last. The player with the most wins a blue token.   4 rounds won and we attempt the final challenge where you have to find 7 words while playing alone.   Here we go: “CREMIER”, “SAW”, “CAFETIERE”, “SHELL”, “CRAYFISH”, “ECLIPSE”, “QUAIL”. Won !   History of the game: This was the 9th game from FK Games, and it is still published! It has just been re-released in a compact format, freshly illustrated by Raphaël Delerue. So it’s a game of letters for all audiences that inspired me… license plates! 🚘As I'm always playing something in my little head, here I am 🚶‍♂️wandering through the streets of Grenoble trying to find a word with the letters of each car plate I cross on my way (Come on, for example, I give myself 75 seconds to find as many words as possible containing the 3 letters: 🅰️🅱️🅾️…). And then, one thing leading to another, that was enough to develop this easy-to-access letter game, which I wanted to be dynamic and oral, unlike the vast majority of letter games which are more in written form. , and it is perhaps this little extra that earned him the prize for 🏆 BEST LETTER GAME at the Festival du Mot de la Charité sur Loire, sponsored by Alain Rey. Today several generations can come together around PALABRES cards and tokens, and always in a beautiful interaction and a certain atmosphere! That alone pleases me. 🙂
