Description
In EL BAZAR you have to make other players guess objects or things by using various and varied elements. During the tests at the Saint-Malo game library, I was really amazed to see the ease and imagination that children had to materialize objects with a material as varied and bizarre as a tongue depressor, a ring , a cup, etc ...
EL BAZAR's material consists of 240 cards divided into 6 categories (Food, animals, sport, nature, objects and toys), 6 help cards, 12 blank cards (To create your own drawings), 60 tokens (points of victory), a bricabrac of 21 geometric wooden shapes and a string.
How did I create the game?
In 2004, Djeco ordered a whole range of "ethnic" games from me. Among the 4 or 5 projects proposed there was KELBAZAR.
The idea had arisen while watching a TV report showing the incredible skill and imagination of West African children who made toys out of all kinds of motley accessories.
I then offered the game to Djeco with this theme, but they loved the game system but not the theme. The game has therefore become KELBAZAR, a kind of PICTIONARY of shapes where we have to make guess objects, things, etc… with heterogeneous wooden objects. The game has even been available in a classic version, KELBAZAR, and a junior version, KELBAZAR JUNIOR.
In 2013, the game was reissued by a Polish publishing house (Hobitty) under the name EL BAZAR, and is distributed in France by Blackrock.
