📖 About This Game

Dans la cour d’école ("In the schoolyard") is a quick and interactive card game for 3 to 6 players, ages 6 and up. It recreates the nostalgic feeling of school recess, where players secretly embody a character and try to collect the best combination of playground treasures hidden beneath a pile of fallen leaves. Each turn, players draw three cards — marbles, toy cars, bricks, or chestnuts — and must choose wisely: one card is kept, one is given to another player, and one goes back under the pile. Some cards trigger fun mini-games like Rock-Paper-Scissors, adding surprises and disrupting strategies. Once everyone has 7 cards, players reveal their hand and score stars based on their collections and their secret character. Accessible and full of surprises, Dans la cour d’école is ideal for families, schools, and game libraries. It encourages observation, interaction, and light strategy in a joyful and replayable format. —description from the publisher
