Description

Vous y trouverez plus de 1600 expressions, issues de thèmes aussi variés que l’histoire, la géographie, la littérature, la musique, le cinéma, …

Mais rassurez-vous pas de questions type Trivial pursuit mais des « détournements » d’expressions.

Nous avons transformé chacun des mots formant ces expressions pour les remplacer par des contraires, des synonymes, et/ou des mots de même famille mais en conservant chaque fois la même structure grammaticale. Il vous suffira de retrouver les les expressions originelles ! Simple, non ?

Mais il vous faudra être rapide car tout le monde joue en même temps. Ambiance assurée et fous-rires garantis. Evidemment, les grosses voix ont un avantage dans le concert des réponses, mais quand on a été gâté par la nature, il faut bien que ça serve !

How did I create the game?

In 1988, with my two friends game creators, Odet L’HOMER and Matthieu D’EPENOUX, we got into the habit of meeting regularly for "Brainstorming communication games" weekends. Matthieu always insisted that we have at least TWO ideas for games per weekend.

CONTRARIO was born thus. At the start we even had a game board with one start and two arrivals. It quickly disappeared, in favor of a game based entirely on cards. We then created several thousand devious phrases and titles. At the time our brains were CONTRARIO formatted and all conversations between friends and family were used. We must of course thank our accomplice, Odet, author of nearly 90% of the hijackings, he remains the soul of the game.

The game was a superb success in its metal case and with its CONTRARIO 2 version, and its sales are increasing with its new bagged edition.
