Description

Get ready to unleash your inner poet and charm your way to victory in Cyrano, a delightful party game for 4 to 9 players. In this 45-minute game, you'll take on the role of a wordsmith, crafting beautiful quatrains to woo a woman for another man, just like the famous play Cyrano de Bergerac. Each round begins with a theme card and two rhyme cards, which sets the stage for your poetic creations. You'll compose a four-line poem, with two lines ending in one rhyme and the other two in another, and then read it aloud for all to enjoy. The fun really begins when everyone votes on their favorite poem, and you'll earn points not only for your unique word choices, but also for being in tune with the tastes of your fellow players. As you climb the ladder of love and descend the tower with the maiden, you'll be immersed in a world of storytelling, simultaneous action selection, and voting. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Cyrano is accessible to everyone, making it a great addition to any game night. Designed by Angèle and Ludovic Maublanc, this 2010 game is a true gem that will have you and your friends laughing, creating, and competing together in a joyful celebration of words and wit.
