How to play Et puis Voilà! ?
Game Setup
- Each player chooses a Story board, with two possibilities: one side with text to accompany reading or a blank side to stimulate imagination.
- Players select a color, take their boat, and place it on the central board representing the sea.
- Discovery tokens are arranged around the board, sorted by shape.
- The die is placed within reach, and the game can begin.
Gameplay outline
- Players take turns clockwise.
- On their turn, a player rolls the die and moves their boat from island to island on the board.
- The shape of the island reached determines the type of token to collect (character, object, location, or animal).
- The player then places this token on their Story board, in the corresponding slot.
- Gradually, the board fills up and the story takes shape thanks to the collected elements.
- Once the board is complete, each player reads or tells their story to the others.

Our Tips for Winning
-
Encourage creativity over performance
This game is not competitive. The goal is to express oneself freely. Encourage children to invent, repurpose elements, and create original, even whimsical, stories.
-
Use the side that corresponds to the child's level
The side with text guides children in reading and building the narrative. The blank side, on the other hand, stimulates imagination more. Alternating between the two allows for natural progression.
-
Take the time to tell the story
The storytelling phase is essential. Invite children to read aloud, add details, and bring their stories to life. This builds confidence and oral skills.
