Discover Days of Wonder
A number of stalls from the big actors of the industry will be present, including:
Like every other year at the Cannes festival, the Days of Wonder team will be there to present you their latest games.
– Deep Blue is a family risk-taking game in which players explore deep sea wrecks and attempt to bring back the ship’s wealth. Recruit the best divers, navigators and archaeologists who will increase your earnings and protect you from danger. Cooperate with your opponents to bring back bigger treasures and push them towards errors to be the sole victor.
– Everyone knows Ticket to Ride! The Alan R Moon bestseller is coming back with a new Japan and Italy extension. It keeps the successful mechanics of the series and invites you to travel on new maps with a few new mechanisms.
Julien Delval, the illustrator of Ticket to Ride will be here for autograph sessions from Friday to Sunday, from 11am to 12am and from 3pm to 4pm.
You can also win a selection of Ticket to Ride games by finding 3 golden trains hidden throughout the convention.
Find us at stall 18.02!
TIKI Editions
On the TIKI Editions stall, you can discover (if you don’t already know them) two games published in 2019: El Maestro, a very fun air-drawing game, and the co-operative reflex game Soupe à la Grenouille.
You can also try the exclusive great new games to be released in 2020:
– Dekalko is an ambiance game by Roberto Fraga and Sébastien Decad.
You must trace a photo you receive as quickly as possible to score points. But to do this, another player will need to discover what has been drawn!
The official release date is early May.
– Lucky Numbers is a re-edition of a game by Michael Schacht, illustrated by Christine Alcouffe.
Each player has a 4×4 grid in front of them.
To win, you must be the first to fill your grid.
To do this, you must have your chips placed in ascending order in rows and columns!
Find us on stand 05.05!
