Today, by popular demand: Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
A game based on the Pandemic mechanic, so they're familiar with it since we've already played several games of World of Warcraft using this principle.
I ask them to choose a Jedi, and that's when the first cold sweats start because I have to explain... what a Jedi is!
I... well, maybe they don't know the word, the films are in English, without subtitles. Okay.
Kiet chooses Anakin, and again, he doesn't know. Curious, I tell him that he's the one who will become Darth Vader later. Again, the incomprehension you can see on his face.
DARTH VADER, GOOD GRIEF! The most famous villain in the history of cinema...
Luckily, it was only the name. We went on YouTube, and sure enough, they all knew Darth Vader's mask, but not his name.
Xoai took Yoda, Nguyen took Mace Windu, and Long took Obi-Wan. I then explained to Long that he was Anakine's master, AKA Kiet. But I also told him that he was Qui-Gon Jinn's student, who was himself Dooku's student, who was himself Yoda's student, AKA Xoai.
It's a cooperative game, but they messed everything up, without any help from each other. It's as if they'd completely forgotten their superb teamwork from Shard Infinity.
We didn't have time to finish; it was a bit tight with the rules explanation (in French), even though everyone was on time. Well, without strategy, they were going to lose, logically speaking.
To finish, I showed them the fight between Yoda and Dooku on YouTube, just to broaden their horizons a bit.
