Château Aventure (2018)

About this game

"Château Aventure" is a cooperative game in which you will experience extraordinary adventures in various worlds. It uses Jared A. Sorensen's Parsely system to mimic the play of a text-adventure computer game and features several of his original adventures. One player will be the computer (or "parser") and will give to the other players details about characters, places, actions, and everything that may happen during the game. The other players will play the same character successively, by each giving an instruction like "go West", "take key", "use key on chest", etc. Each scenario has one or more victory conditions. If players managed to follow the right path and got a perfect score of 100 points, they win the game. A game can be lost if the main character is killed and players didn't save the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
