Crítica de la razón dialéctica

Jacques said is a Board game requiring a Master of play and several players.

The Master of play announces orders often referring to the parts of the body such as for example:

  • “Jacques said: you touch the nose”
  • “Jacques said: point the index towards the left knee”
The players must carry out the order only when it is preceded by the introduction “Jacques said…” If the Master of the play gives for example the order “on the spot jumps” without to have said “Jacques said” those which carried out the gesture are then eliminated.

One more and more also hears, by deformation Jakadi , and the play thus becomes Jakadi said .

In the anglophone countries, this play is called Simon , or Simon says ( Simon says being the sentence replacing Jacques said ).

In Quebec, the play is entitled Jean known as .

It was given to the last style since its massive use in the dialogs of the film One Day in hell of John McTiernan and still, more recently, in 2007, in the song Jacques said , was written by Zazie and was interpreted by Christophe Willem.
