Hello everyone !

Do you know the name of the cards?

It was already known that kings in card games featured real kings, namely Charlemagne, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and King David.

But what about other cards?

 Well it's simple, all jacks and all ladies also have their own name.

 Thus, the valet of hearts is Lahire (Etienne de Vignolles), a comrade in arms of Joan of Arc while the lady of hearts is named Judith.

The name of the Jack of Diamonds is Hector, presumably for the hero of the Trojan War although other theories exist.

 The queen of diamonds is called Rachel.

On the side of the spade, the valet bears the name of Ogier, one of Charlemagne's 12 peers, while the queen is called Pallas.

Finally, the jack of clubs is Lancelot, for Lancelot du Lac, while its queen is Argine, for the anagram of Regina…aka “queen” in Italian.

Good day and good game ;)

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

On 19/11/2023

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Puzzle: my insoluble disinterest.

I like a wide variety of board games, but I have to admit that puzzles are the exception that proves the rule for me.

A game logic that is completely beyond me, whereas, according to friends, they are much less complicated than the expert games we play together...

I have no idea why I can't grasp the logic of the puzzles, but it won't.

After all, we can't love everything and be interested in everything around us.

You could easily beat me at rubik's kub for example.

The only time I managed to make it complete as a child was because I had peeled off the labels and reattached them in the correct order afterwards… ^^

We agree that it doesn't matter. ;)

However, I like games that have a high demand for logic and thinking.

 I love the simplicity as well as the complexity of a game, because it opens up to different game mechanics.

I like when the games are very difficult and you have to rack your brains to know which strategy will be effective.

The puzzles will live up to their names as far as I'm concerned.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the game of the goose!

A good classic, from 2 to 6 players and about 20 minutes, to land on the right squares. To your geese!

The game of the goose is a parlor game where pawns are moved according to the results of two dice.

Traditionally, this game of pure chance comprises 63 squares arranged in an inwardly-wound spiral with a number of traps.

The goal is to get to the last square first.

The basic rule is intangible. The game is played with 2 dice. A first move decides who will start.


The goose signals the lucky squares arranged 9 by 9.

No one can stop on these beneficial squares and the roll is then doubled.

• Who rolls 9 on the first roll, will go to 26 if he did it by 6 and 3, or to 53 if he did it by 4 and 5.

• Who drops to 6, where there is a bridge, will go to 12.

• Who drops to 19, where there is a hotel, rests when everyone plays 2 times.

• Which falls to 31, where there is a well waiting to be raised.

• Who drops to 42, where there is a maze returns to 304.

• Who falls to 52, where there is a prison waiting to be picked up.

• Who falls to 58, where there is death, starts again.

The first to reach 63, in the garden of the goose, wins the game.

 On condition of getting it right, otherwise he goes back, on as many squares as he has left to go.

If a player lands on a square already occupied by another player, he sends the latter back to the square from which he started.

There can only be one player per space.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Why a game with 52 cards?

If you own a classic deck of cards, it normally has 52 cards.

But why this figure and not 50 or 58 exactly?

The 52-card deck is actually based on the ancient Egyptian lunar calendar.

 The 52 cards represent the 52 weeks of the year.

And that's not all: the 13 cards that make up each color designate the 13 lunar months of the Egyptian calendar.

And, finally, the 4 colors represent the 4 elements: water, earth, fire and air.

JJV's Offs

On 12/11/2023

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Trivial pursuit: to develop one's knowledge and cultivate oneself.

One of the general knowledge games that marked my childhood is Trivial Pursuit.

The Genius version allowed me to play with my older cousins.

It started with the desire to want to play the same games as my cousins, then it continued with the desire to discover and learn new things.

With well-known categories such as cinema, heritage, music, history, geography, etc., I loved discovering new things while playing.

As a team with one of my cousins ​​ten years older than me, we complemented each other according to the areas of the questions.

But beyond that, we were all playing together and laughing as we learned.

Especially since the Trivial Pursuit is now adapted in several versions and themes, which allows you to play a variety of general knowledge.

Since I was little, I have always been very curious and I have always liked to learn things, so a game that combined play and knowledge was a great discovery for me.

Some general knowledge games now sound much more dynamic and sometimes offer the addition of challenges to set the mood a little more.

What we did to spice up the game with my cousins ​​was to add pledges and constraints or advantages and special points through various challenges.

This could make games of general knowledge just so laughable and unforgettable!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Battle Gum!

No time to bubble! From 2 to 4 players and about 15 minutes, discard all your cards, but watch out for the traps!

We are here in a discard game where you will have to be the first to have no more cards in your hand.

It all starts with the usual distribution which will be divided into three parts.

Three cards in the players' hand, three cards placed in front of them face down and three others face up.

At the start of the game, players will be able to freely switch between their hand and the visible cards.

To initiate a trick, a player can place up to three cards provided that they are of the same value.

The following players must place one or more cards of equal or higher value than those already placed.

If by chance a player can no longer play cards that meet this rule, he collects all the cards already played and adds them to his hand.

A player who has played draws again to have three cards in hand again.

When the draw pile is exhausted, attack the cards placed in front of you.

In the deck of 54 cards, 22 have special powers. The 1 for example can also land a 13 (the strongest card).

The 8 will skip the next trick, etc.

The rules are proposed with variants which make the pile played disappear under certain conditions.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

The shape of the cards has changed over the centuries

Throughout history, players have been able to indulge their passion through very special card games.

And yes, the rectangular and practical card game to carry as we know it today did not always exist in this form.

During the first centuries following the appearance of this game, players had the opportunity to handle much larger cards and even oval, round or even triangular cards.

Hard to imagine, right?

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Yu Gi Oh: managing combos, effective and destructive strategies.

Among all these games that I played a lot, there are card games such as heros dei, magic or even yu gi oh.

Less interested in magic and moderately in hero dei, my teenage preference was for Yu gi oh!

I adhered much more to this universe than those of magic and heros dei.

I loved the fact that we could start from small cards to make super powerful combos!

When I came across the red-eyed black dragon or even alpha the master of beasts or other special or rare cards, I was super happy.

I remember creating all kinds of effective and destructive strategies that allowed me to win outright against other players.

Even when I played again 15 years after quitting with a client, I managed to do a combo that won me in the second round.

I was as surprised as my client, because I thought that in 15 years that I had not played there, I would be rusty...

There is always a way to find a combo to counter his opponent's attacks or to return his attacks to him.

Sometimes, you even have to sacrifice a little to protect yourself and react to win the game or gain experience.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Witty Pong!

Ping, Pong, Ting, Tong! Something very strange is happening in the jungle for 2-8 players and about 15 minutes.

In Witty Pong, the ping pong table is recreated by laying four cards in a 2x2 square, with a ball token being placed on one of the cards.

 On their turn, a player turns over a card and places it on one of the three cards not covered by the ball. Two situations can occur:


• If the card represents a ball somewhere in the illustration, the player must move the ball token to a new card. If he says something or hesitates too long, he loses one of the three banana tokens he started the game with.


• If the card does not have a marble on it, the player must say the word “appropriate”, the word being determined by the letters and colors of the three cards uncovered. The word begins with "P" or "T" depending on which letter is displayed more frequently, and ends with "ong" or "ing" depending on whether more blue or red paddles are displayed. If he says the wrong word or takes too long, he loses a banana.


Lose all your bananas and you're out of the game. The last player standing wins.

 The game includes advanced rules that change what to say if the same letter or color is on all three palettes; additional rules allow for competitive play in which players can steal bananas from each other if they say the correct word first.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

King Arthur, Atmosfear: challenge the game and surpass yourself.

I've played a lot of different games since I was young and I keep discovering new ones every day.

Because yes, the play experience is diverse and varied now thanks to talented authors, illustrators and creators.

When we talk about electronic games, it is technology that is at the service of the excellence of a board game.

I am thinking in particular of games like King Arthur or Atmosfear.

King Arthur which offers quests activated when our characters go to the place of its realization.

Atmosfear, where this game with a VHS tape (yes me too, I got old talking about it ^^) allowed to have ambient noises and the rest of the puzzles in a mysterious universe…

These games that are magnified by technology and making this type of game just unmissable and unforgettable!

Yes, these are games from the 80s-90s!

These games where you play against the game and where you have to try to brainstorm to try to win!

These games whose descendants could be these games guided by an application and where you have to solve an investigation or run away!

The 80s and 90s marked authors and inspired more modern games.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Chapito!

Experience 15 minutes of pure balance for 2 to 4 players! Join the circus and become the best acrobat to win!

The Chapito circus is back in town with a breathtaking acrobatic show!

Stack the character blocks on top of each other by

trying to reproduce one of the figures indicated by your cards.


Keep your balance well so as not to bring down the whole show!

Place the 3 Podium tiles in the center of the table, spacing them about 10 centimeters apart.


Place the 9 Character blocks around the Podium tiles.

Shuffle the cards and deal 4 to each player.

Everyone tries to reproduce on a podium one of the

figures imposed by the cards in his hand.

Either choose a Character block that is not yet in play on a Podium tile to place it above any block (or stack of blocks) already in play, or on an empty Podium tile.


Either move a block or stack of blocks already in play above another block (or stack of blocks), or onto an empty Podium tile.

When a player moves multiple blocks at once, they can only do so by holding the lowest block in the stack.

Blocks can only be placed in their upright position, without rotation or flipping.

 It is forbidden to make the exact opposite movement to that of the previous player.

At any time, even if it is not his turn, a player can shout: “Photo!” if a stack of blocks meets the conditions indicated by one of the cards in his hand.

He reveals his card and we check that he was not mistaken.


- if he is right, he places the card in front of him, face up and draws a new one from the pile to add it to his hand; then play resumes.

- if he made a mistake, he takes the card back in hand and the game continues.


If the same pile of Character blocks corresponds to several cards of a player, he can place them all in front of him to validate them.

He then draws to always have 4 cards in his hand.


If the card a player has just drawn corresponds to the layout of a stack in play, he can announce it and place it immediately before completing his hand again.

If a player knocks down a block or knocks over a stack of characters, their turn ends immediately, they must return one of the cards placed in front of them to the draw pile as a penalty.

If he doesn't have any, he doesn't return any and the turn passes to the next player.

Blocks that have fallen or are still in hand are replaced around the podiums.

The first player who manages to place 7 cards in front of him wins the game.

If several players play their seventh card at the same time, they share the victory.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Mille Borne: managing your game and dirty tricks.

The Mille bornes is one of the other games that marked my childhood.

Progressing over the limits and hazards that we are asked throughout the game, taught me very young to manage the frustration linked to the difficulty.

Because yes, the dirty tricks can be numerous to the thousand limits, that's why we love or hate this kind of games in general...^^

You have to manage your game well to move forward without letting others progress too much to try to prevent them from winning.

A red light, a punctured wheel, an accident, or a lack of gas can slow you down for a while...

You can also curb the enthusiasm of other players thanks to speed limits.

The dirty tricks limit you for a moment, but with the right assets, you always manage to get back on your way.

And then, for those who play the game, the difficulties are part of the game and then make us progress faster to the next mile!

The dirty tricks, if you don't know how to manage your cards in hand, always end up leaving you on the sidelines.

I remain determined to share the playful world with you, because my driving force is these moments that we share!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Unsuspected Treasures!

Collect old furniture from a bulky waste collection site and make a profit by reselling it, for about 30 minutes for 3 to 6 players.

On a first-come, first-served basis, players can only take a few items at a time.

 And they must beware of thieves, who are on the prowl and just waiting to steal goods collected from players' homes.

 Each player takes a set of cards numbered from 0 to 5.

Each round consists of three phases which are played in the following order:

Deposit of new goods

The most valuable treasures to discover are at the bulky collection site. And they are increasing day by day!

Draw 1 mission card from the mission card pile and place it face up next to the other face up mission cards.

Take a merchandise tile from the cloth bag for each symbol on the mission card you just drew and place them in the bulky collection site, sorted according to their values.

Keep drawing mission cards until there are at least 2 goods tiles per player in the bulky collection site.

Any goods tiles in the possession of the players or that are next to the mission cards remain where they are and are not put in the bag.

Selection of the numbered card

Each player secretly chooses one of their 6 numbered cards and places it face down in their playing area.

After all players have finished placing their selected cards, all players turn their card face up.

Looting

If several players choose the same number, they fight over who can access the site.


Only the player with the lowest numbered contest token can leave their card on the table and can loot the bulky collection site.

The thief can steal as many goods tiles from his teammates as there are players heading to the bulky waste collection site.

Players who "stay at home" are not at risk of having their belongings stolen from the thief.

Once a player has all the goods corresponding to one of the mission cards, they can complete the mission by exchanging these goods.

A radio tile can also be used as a joker for any other commodity tile.

Once all the players have finished ransacking the bulky waste collection site, everyone gets their numbered card.

 Players may keep any collected goods tiles that have not been used to complete a mission.

 If there are any Mission cards and/or Goods tiles left, these also remain where they are.

Once the last mission card has been drawn from the reserve pile, the round is played until the end.

The game ends once the round is over.

Each player adds up the value of his completed missions, including the value of the goods tiles he still has in his possession.

The player with the highest score wins.

Good day and good game ;)

The Jungle Speed

The game is actually derived from a very basic trick: playing with traditional cards and grabbing a cork or a lighter when two identical cards appear.

As Tom Vuarchex said; the author of the game, in a video, the drawings are inspired by travel and the totem of a piece of wood that he used during his travels.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Uno: the American 8 that reveals personalities!

Uno was one of the games that marked my gaming life among many others.

The uno always allows you to have a good time no matter who you play with.

Because the Uno is simple to handle and easier to access than the American 8.

No need to know the values ​​and special effects of the cards to play, because everything is noted on them.

The American 8 is already a very good classic, but the uno has given it a more generic dimension by making it accessible to everyone.

Easy to play, the uno allows you to see the personality of the players around the table.

Some will struggle to land a +2 or +4 on players around them, while others will feel less remorse. :)

Within the framework of the game everything is possible, because it remains only a game.

You have to take it a little seriously but not too seriously to have fun together.

As Vladimir Jankélévith says, “Eliminate one of the two opposites, play or seriousness, and adventure ceases to be adventurous”.

Since I love to live this adventure with you, I will continue to seriously surprise you with new things.

Some players turn out to be accomplices, teasers, good or bad players, but above all motivated players!

The Uno with its simplicity, allows moments of sharing often hectic, but always stimulating!

Good day and good game ;)

 Our Co-game-to of the day comes from Vladimir Jankélévitch:

“The only really playful game is the game with seriousness: because a game which would only be playful, and in no way would tease seriousness, this game would break all records for boredom; this game would be more boring than serious.

Remove one of the two opposites, game or serious, and the adventure ceases to be adventurous: if you remove the playful element, the adventure becomes a tragedy, and if you remove the serious, the adventure becomes a game. of cards, a paltry pastime and a make-believe adventure.”

 Today we are going to talk about Big Money!

 Who, of the 2 to 5 players, will manage to become the richest millionaire in 30 minutes?

Everyone gets rich, but who will end up the richest?

 Roll the dice and buy amazing investments for your empire - a candy factory, a professional football team or a movie studio.

You decide what risks to take when you collect businesses and become a Zillionaire!

 On his turn, a player rolls the two dice and advances the Dollar pawn by the number of points indicated.

Then he applies the effect of the square on which the pawn ended its move.

 Bet big and take advantage of possible incredible winnings if your bets are good!

Bet, bluff to try to win even bigger!

Depending on the number given by the dice, win more or less big or lose even more!

 If you bet the right market on the upside you win zillions, otherwise you could lose it all.

Play double or nothing on your game table and win your bet doubled or nothing at all!

Win the lottery with the right combination and collect the loot!

  The game ends when the bank has no more money in its coffers.

At this time, we make a final lottery and calculate our money. 

The richest wins.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Super challenges: agility, dexterity, strategy.

In 1986, the Super Challenges game appeared.

I got to know him long after, because my cousins ​​gave me their board games when they no longer wanted them.

I played there a lot with them while my uncle came to tease us and encourage us around the endless games we were playing.

Super Challenges is a board game where you have to perform various successive challenges such as the mini-bowling strike, knock down the pins with an object hanging from the rope or even puzzles and logic challenges.

As a child, I really liked the diversity of challenges that this game offered.

 To initiate and play with children, it is a very good game.

 It allows you to test your agility, dexterity and strategy.

Perhaps the ancestor of many of our modern board games. :)

 For me, Super Challenges cultivated my curious side about all kinds of games from an early age.

I was then very inclined to discover various and varied games, which from a very young age made me a curious player.

I tested flop, good games and unforgettable games!

Curious player, I am always able now to discover new playful nuggets!

The playful world is full of discoveries, good or bad, but always interesting.

And then, in the game world or in life in general, it takes everything to make a world!

 In any case, being a curious player allows me to share with you my passion for the game and that's pretty good. ;)

 Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Yes, the game of love and chance!

Test your poetic and philosophical knowledge gently, in 40 minutes for 2 to 6 players.

“Their eyes met”, “Mad love”, “They lived happily »

This game is a quiz of 1340 questions about love.

 Cinema, History, Literature, Songs... everything will be explored, and by all means: drawing, quizzes, mimes, memory games...

The board consists of a heart-shaped track with spaces of three different colors, corresponding to different difficulties.

Players roll a die and move along the track.

When a player lands on a color, they are asked about the appropriate difficulty.

A correct answer allows the player to throw again.

From acquiring knowledge to refreshing your memory, nothing beats a quality board game!

This is what this amazing box invites, rich with 1340 questions and challenges.

 Hermaphrodite is the child of Hermes and… Demeter, Artemis or Aphrodite?

 Do we represent Cupid with wide, blindfolded or wet eyes?

 To which comic book character does Obélix devote a secret and persistent love: Assurancetourix, Falbala, Bonemine?


Once a player reaches the middle of the board, they win the game.

Have fun, yes, but while learning!

 Philippe des Pallières and Hervé Marly, who used to play this game adapted by its distribution on the internet, decided to integrate new characters and created a new version.

Today, the Russian version swapped spies for policemen and we chose werewolves.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

La coinche: managing your game and that of others.

A variant of belote, the coinche allows you to play combos a little more strategically via a success contract.

With his or her playing partner, communicate in a subtle way to achieve the best combos and score the most points possible.

Communication then has a central place to try to create the maximum number of combos without the value of the trump or even better, in the value of the trump to score even more points.

Already atypical in adolescence, with my clique of friends, we played coinche and werewolf among many other board games.

At a time when other teenagers were playing the console, we were playing it too, but not only…

When we helped and spent time with the elderly people in the neighborhood whom we helped on a daily basis, we played belote and coinche with them…

Andrée, 96, was my first coinche partner when I was 12.

She had been a primary school teacher and followed the rules to the letter. So I was able to learn coinche on a good basis.

It was Andrée who allowed me to teach it to other friends who also wanted to discover this game.

See, it is not only a question of having the right cards in hand, it is above all necessary to know how to use them.

Hello everyone !


Today we are going to talk about the Yellow Dwarf!


The Yellow Dwarf game is played by 3 to 8 players for 30 minutes where you earn tokens by getting rid of your cards as quickly as possible.


The goal of the Yellow Dwarf game is to win tokens by getting rid of his cards as quickly as possible, discarding them in ascending order by performing suits ranging from ace to king, without worrying about the color.


A game is usually played over several rounds. At the start of the game, the players all have an equivalent betting token value.

 

Each player is distributed tokens for a minimum value of 50.


 The following values ​​are most often given to the tokens: 1 for the circles, 5 for the small rectangles and 10 for the large rectangles.


At the start of a Yellow Dwarf round:


Players place their tokens in the bowls on the board, for values ​​of:

 1 to 10 of diamonds,
 2 to the Jack of Clubs,
 3 to the queen of spades,
 4 to the King of Hearts,
 5 to the Yellow Dwarf (the 7 of diamonds).
The 52 cards of the game (without the jokers) are distributed to the players:
 at 3, 15 cards per player and 7 on the heel,
 at 4, 12 cards per player and 4 on the heel,
 5, 9 cards per player and 7 on the heel,
 6, 8 cards per player and 4 on the heel,
 7, 7 cards per player and 3 on the heel,
 at 8, 6 cards per player and 4 on the heel.

Players must discard their cards in ascending order (from Ace to King), without color distinction (a 5 of spades can follow a 4 of diamonds).


Designate the player who will start the game (the youngest player, the tallest or by drawing lots...).


This first player, the dealer, begins the round by starting an increasing sequence and by announcing the cards "5, 6, 7, 8...".

 

When he can no longer extend his sequence of cards, he announces the missing card: "5, 6, 7, 8, without 9" and passes the hand.


His neighbor on the left continues the sequence until he can no longer complete it: "9, 10, jack, no queen".


The player who arrives at the King can start a new sequence from any card.


When a player shows a card present on the Yellow Dwarf board (10 of diamonds, Jack of clubs, Queen of spades, King of hearts or 7 of diamonds), he announces it and pockets the bet present in the corresponding bowl.


 If a player forgets to pocket his bet or does not have the opportunity to place his bet card(s), he must double the bet in the bowl at the end of the round.

To win a game of Yellow Dwarf you have to win as many tokens as possible.


You can earn tokens:


 by placing and announcing a card from the board,
 finishing the round first. A round ends when a player has gotten rid of all his cards.
The other players must then give him as many tokens as the sum of the card values ​​remaining in their hand; knowing that the values ​​of the cards are:
  Ace, King, Queen, Jack = 10 points
 10 to 2 = Value of the card (8 points for the eight, 7 points for the 7...)


When a player can no longer place bets at the start of the round, he leaves the game.


When the first player scrolls through all his cards at once, he performs the "Grand Opera".


A rare but profitable move, the player then recovers all the chips bet on the Yellow Dwarf board and the other players must give him the value of their hands in chips, enough to upset more than one!

 

Good day and good game ;)

Trivial Pursuit, a local success

One of the biggest successes of board games is Quebec!

In 1979, two Canadian journalists play Scrabble.

Lacking letters to finish the game, they decide to ask themselves questions of general knowledge.

The two Montrealers, Chris Haney and Scott Abbott, invented Trivial Pursuit (A few acres of traps).

Their idea will make them billionaires!

 The famous game has sold more than 100 million copies to date.

Many other Quebec games of the same genre were created afterwards, such as Le Docte Rat, L’Apprenti Docte Rat… and L’Apprenti Débrouillard!

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!

Risk: beginning of diplomacy, or not…

I started playing Risk around 6 years old with a homemade version.

A school planisphere as a board, dice recovered from other games at home, hand-made pawns with cardboard or wood and a whiteboard marker to schematize the conquered territories...

Risk, I had seen it on television and so I created my version to play with my friends on the playground.

 For the table, a cut tree trunk and gym balls as chairs.

Risk is a way to learn the game strategy of conquest of territory and not to spoil anything by the way, we learned by playing countries and capitals. :)

So, is Risk a game of diplomacy?

Child, I believed it, adult, I doubt it…^^

We create alliances sometimes, but these same alliances can end up turning against us.

Because yes, our ultimate goal, to all players, is to win the most territories anyway...

So, we can inadvertently have to conquer a territory and pass on that of an ally... But hey, it's only in the pure chance of the game...^^

As part of the game, everything is allowed as long as we follow the rules of the game. ;)

Risk allows you to think about how to conquer territories without forgetting to keep those you already have.

It's a bit like the challenge of a daily business...

Invite new customers to join the fun adventure and continue to satisfy loyal customers.

You are important to me, and I promise, I won't take any Risks and will remain a diplomat to meet this daily challenge! ;)

Good day and good game ;)
