In brief

What if you could explore books, browse the texts of novels, cross literary landscapes and their imaginations, surprise yourself with a few incredible sentences.

Nouvelles ContRées is a cooperative game that invites you on this dreamlike journey. You become novel explorers, navigating your best through the jungle of words, until you find, at the heart of the novel, the incredible hidden meaning of the book.

At the start of the game, players set up their Camp, represented by a bookmark, somewhere in the book. During the game, they will advance the Camp to a Lost City bookmark located further away.

One player plays as the pathfinder ("Pagefinder"): they read the first six lines of one page of any book in your library (as long as it has at least 60 pages). The other players have to guess which fully-illustrated bookmarks among 4 Dixit like bookmarks face up is the one chosen by the pathfinder. If the other players find the good bookmark, all the players succeed: they travel through the jungle of words by the same path (they advance pages in the book.).

At the same time, each player can try to accomplish an individual mission like "I guess the text contains 5 words with a X", "I guess it contains 3 words related to the nature", ...

To win, players will need to successfully explore this city and gain access to the Hidden Meaning of the book.
