Game Description

Album: the material of the game.

Out of the 5 photographs, only one must remain visible at the end of the round. To help you, words are placed on a scale of intensity as subjective clues. Album is a cooperative game where the exchange and listening to points of view are the keys to success.

You must create a collective photo album based on the best consensus. Each photo tells a point of view (from a photographer) that can translate into singular and different stories (depending on the person). Will you be able to find the initial photograph with, the only clue being, the subjective point of view of another person ?!

The rules in greater details
Rule explanation on the back of the game box

It's time to create a collective album and it's your turn to make others remember a photo!

You take a photo that you observe secretly and quietly.

You immerse yourself in it… at the same time, you pick and place, one by one, a word - which will become a valuable clue - on an intensity scale from 0 to 5.

In your opinion, is this word rather not (0), little (1or 2) or very (4 or 5) present/represented in the photo?

" 'Adventure', is there any for me in this photo?

Yes, very much!

I place the word at level 4 of the scale!"

It's a matter of perspective, personal history or simply feelings.

Will others be able to project themselves in your place and get in tune with your subjective regard ?

In each turn, one photo is eliminated. Out of 5 photos, only one is valid!

Idealistic, I dream of seeing humans flourish fully, develop their potential and livin together in peace, joy and good humor. It is not won in fact but as long as there are games, there is hope! Passionate about the challenges of relationships (to oneself, to the other), I use the game in my professional practices to create a link, facilitate exchanges, bring out skills and offer intense moments of sharing and fun. I create communication games and playful relational experiences.
