About the game
Volume I of the Secret Stories Series. In 1812 Manuel Belgrano created the flag of Argentina, but nobody knows the real story behind it... until now. OBJECTIVE In this game, the AUTHOR and the READERS must work together as a team. READERS have to guess the secret code that the AUTHOR has inside the book before the turns are over. AUTHOR: The AUTHOR must guide the READERS to discover the facts. He/She must do so without speaking and using only images. He/She will try to relate the AUTHOR CARDS to the READER CARDS as indicated by the secret code. READERS: They should relate the AUTHOR CARDS to the READERS CARDS given by the AUTHOR and use their intuition to be able to correctly interpret his/her message. Players win if READERS guess the AUTHOR's secret code before turns are over. Players lose if READERS fail to guess AUTHOR's secret code before turns are over. En 1812 Manuel Belgrano creó la bandera argentina. Pero hasta el día de hoy, la verdadera historia permanece oculta. ¿Con quién la creó? ¿En qué lugar de Argentina? ¿Qué comieron? 1812 Argentina es un juego de comunicación e interpretación de imágenes que permite redescubrir en cada partida estos hechos. Un jugador encarnará el rol de "autor" y deberá guiar a los "lectores" mediante imágenes para que descubran lo sucedido en 1812.
