A French-themed board game titled La Bataille des Structures with pathways, illustrated zones, and labeled areas for terrains, creators, mythical experiences, and apprenticeships.

French Theory : The war of structures

This strategic card game is a mock game, freely inspired by universes such as Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon.
It follows a few loose rules, but its true purpose lies elsewhere: a pedagogical tool designed to demystify critical thought and offer a playful entry point into French Theory.

Rather than a traditional board game, it serves as an experimental space where philosophy and sociology can be handled, diverted, and replayed.
And since French Theory itself thrives on subverting established frameworks, feel free to invent your own rules.
