New Lands: The Board Game That Explores Your Own Books

What if your bookshelf held unexplored worlds?

In Nouvelles Contrées, you don't use a traditional game board. You choose any book from your shelf (a novel, a crime fiction, a biography...) and it becomes your world to explore. You embody a team of explorers traversing the pages in search of the work's "Hidden Meaning".

The concept? A cooperative game of idea association and imagination. One player (the Scout) reads a short passage from the chosen book. The other players must guess, from several illustrated bookmarks, which one best matches the atmosphere, style, or meaning of what has just been read.

Why Nouvelles Contrées is a magical experience:

• Infinite Replayability: Your playground changes every time you change books. Playing with Harry Potter, The Little Prince or a Stephen King thriller offers radically different sensations.

• Rediscover Your Books: The game forces you to listen to the words, analyze the rhythm of sentences, and pay attention to details you might have overlooked during a classic reading.

• Poetic Cooperation: Here, there are no complicated calculations. We discuss feelings, emotions, and metaphors. It's a game that fosters exchange and camaraderie.

• Beautiful Material: The bookmarks are true works of dreamlike art, reminiscent of the aesthetics of Dixit, but with a depth linked to words.
