Who it's for

Wordplay lovers and groups who enjoy reading their creations aloud, not just optimizing a score.

Not for you if…

You're not comfortable performing or sharing written lines at the table — much of the charm depends on it.

🦊

Vibe's take

Playful and a bit theatrical — half the fun is reading your finished verses aloud, while the planning underneath rewards patience over impulsive plays.

About this game

Roxane sends players wooing the legendary Roxane through the art of poetry, not swordplay. Using cards for subjects, verbs, adverbs, complements, and similes, you assemble verses, chase rhymes, and build increasingly elaborate sentences for extra points. It's a card game about composing beauty under pressure, wrapped in the romance of Cyrano de Bergerac.
