Alien Express

In real time, everyone sculpts the objects on their cards in modelling clay, calls out “Delivery!”, and the others guess what it is. A game by Yoshiyuki Arai, illustrated with Stéphane Escapa.
Questions the project raised
- When the players make most of the game, what should illustration bring: a world that draws you in, or perfectly readable cards?
- Which objects to sculpt will a child recognise, whatever their country?
