About Editions Course en Sac

Dé-mots is a brand new game, released in May 2022. Its driving force is the writing of stories in three minutes. It is intended for anyone who can write, from the age of 8, and works perfectly intergenerationally. The rule is very quick to learn; in addition, throughout the game, “surprise” cards add small temporary mechanisms. Each player in turn moves their pawn on the game board using a die, from the start square (the blank page) to the finish (the writers' bar). The boxes on the board trigger — or not — three-minute writing tests based on a few instructions given by the board and the cards (mood, image, imposed word, era, question, story title, etc.). At each writing test, all players write, and it's an opportunity to discover their own creativity, stimulated by the very short time. The texts are then read aloud, and this is an opportunity to discover the creativity of the other players. All this with laughter and kindness, and without fear of spelling mistakes. Dé-mots has already proved its worth: it makes students, young and old alike, write with pleasure, it is a very interesting tool for learning foreign languages, it serves as a warm-up in writing workshops, it is a meaningful game for media libraries that develop play spaces, but above all, it creates great moments of fun with family or friendsRead their story
