Château Aventure

About this board game

Château Aventure is a cooperative text-adventure game for 2–10 players that plays in around 30 minutes. Across various worlds, players experience extraordinary adventures using Jared A. Sorensen’s Parsely system.

The game mimics the style of a text-adventure computer game. One player takes the role of the computer, or parser, describing characters, places, actions, and everything that may happen during the game.

The other players control the same character successively. Each player gives a direct instruction, such as “go West,” “take key,” or “use key on chest,” and the parser provides the details that follow. This creates a shared adventure built around communication, exploration, and choosing the right commands.

• Cooperative play for 2–10 players
• Scenarios set in various worlds
• A parser who describes the game world and its events
• Command-based actions inspired by text-adventure computer games
• Victory conditions that can lead to a perfect score of 100 points

Every scenario has one or more victory conditions. Players win when they follow the right path and achieve a perfect score of 100 points, making each instruction part of the route toward success.

The game can also be lost if the main character is killed and the players did not save the game. Château Aventure includes several of Jared A. Sorensen’s original adventures, offering a collection of cooperative journeys shaped by the group’s commands.

Released in 2018, Château Aventure gives a group the roles of adventurers and parser in a compact, story-driven format. Listen carefully, choose your words, and work together to discover what each world has in store.
