Panorama, a new game by Jules Messaud and Melody Leblond

Scorpion Masqué is excited to reveal Panorama, a new ‘cosy’ game by Jules Messaud (Akropolis, Miams, Moustache) and Melody Leblond, who illustrated Festival and Behind: Purple.

Panorama is a family-weight tile placement game for 2 to 4 players that invites players to slow down, look around, and appreciate the simple pleasure of building a landscape one tile at a time from the lofty heights of their hot-air balloons. Through simple but significant choices, players watch their landscape develop before their eyes in a peaceful and contemplative setting, in perfect alignment with the design goals of Panorama.


At the end of the game, players will score points based on the number of Animals and Flowers in their panorama. But be careful... taking a tile far away from your hot-air balloon (even the perfect one!) gives your opponents more choices!  
The game’s replayability centers around the variable objectives, which bring renewed pleasure every game.  


According to designer Jules Messaud: “The thing that makes Panorama unique is that it doesn’t look to define its originality with its mechanisms alone. I wanted to create an accessible game whose enjoyment is based in its visuals and the game’s overall feel.”

Manuel Sanchez, Head of Studio at Scorpion Masqué says: “With so many fantastic games in this category already on store shelves, I swore we’d never publish another tile-laying game and that we’d avoid animal and nature themes in the future. And then Melody and Jules put Panorama down in front of me... and here we are!” 

From the very first play, Panorama stands out from its peers: a quick and easy setup, tiles that fit together snugly, and a landscape that takes shape bit by bit, giving players satisfying little moments throughout the course of the game, all against a bucolic backdrop.  
The theme, the art style, and the core mechanisms work together to offer a complete experience, with visual pleasure at the very heart of the game. 

Melody Leblond, designer and illustrator shares: “Jules helped me discover a love of creating games... I’m still creating games with him, and with others!”


Panorama is a game by Jules Messaud and Melody Leblond, published by Scorpion Masqué. It is illustrated by Melody Leblond. It will be available in Spring 2026. It will cost $29.99 CAD / $19.99 USD and can be played by 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up.
A game of Panorama takes 20 minutes.    

U.S. Press will have a chance to check out Panorama during GAMA Expo from March 1st to 7th, 2026 at the Hachette Boardgames USA Booth #827.
