Hello everyone!
Today we are going to talk about the Yellow Dwarf!
Grab your cards and your tokens, 2 to 8 players from 8 years old for 20 to 30 minutes, to place your bets and try to win!
Distribute the tokens to the players. Each player receives the same number of points, to be agreed. Draw lots to know which player distributes the cards at the start of the game. Agree on a distribution and play direction. Each player places tokens in each square of the board:
• 1 point on the 10 of diamonds;
• 2 points on the jack of clubs;
• 3 points on the queen of spades;
• 4 points on the king of hearts;
• 5 points on the 7 of diamonds or "Yellow Dwarf".
Shuffle the cards and deal them to the players three by three and face down. Leave a pile of three to eight cards face down depending on the number of players:
|
Number of players |
Number of cards per players |
Number of cards remaining in the pile |
|

22 |

Depending on the direction of play, the player to the left or right of the dealer begins to play. He places the first card of his choice, face up, announcing the name of the card. He does the same with the following cards as long as he can, in the order "ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king", without worrying about their color. If he places a king, he begins a new sequence from the card of his choice.
When he stops, he announces "without" then the name of the missing card. For example, if he stops at 9, he announces "without 10". The next player continues the sequence in the same way, if he can. Otherwise, he passes his turn and so on with the other players.
If none of the players have the missing card and if it is not a king, the player who placed the last card moves on to the next card. If none of the players have the missing card and if it is a king, the player who placed the last card starts a new sequence from the card of his choice.
When a player places a card represented on the board, for example the queen of spades, he announces "queen who takes" and collects the chips bet in the corresponding box. If he forgets to announce, the chips remain in the box until they are collected during another round.
The round ends as soon as a player has no more cards in his hand. He receives from the other players the equivalent in chips of the value of the cards remaining in his hand. The ace is worth one point, the 2 is worth two points, etc. The 10 and each face card are worth ten points.
If a player gets rid of all his cards at once, this is called "Grand Opera". He receives, in addition to the payment from the other players, all the chips bet on the board.
At the end of a round, if a player still has a card represented on the board in his hand, he must double the bet that is in the corresponding box. The chips remain in the box until they are picked up during another round.
If the stock pile contains a card represented on the board, the chips bet in the corresponding box remain there until they are picked up during another round.
The player who had placed the first card becomes the dealer. He collects all the cards, including those in the stock. Players can start a new round.
The game is over when a player can no longer bet or can no longer pay another player. You can also choose a number of bets or a game duration. Players then count their chips, the winner is the one with the most points.

Hello everyone!
Games of skill
The shell game in Greece and the scales game among the Romans are the ancestors of the ricochet game where you have to bounce a stone on water to score points according to the number of ricochets you have managed to make.
The pit or vase game consists of throwing knucklebones into a small pit or vase to score the most points according to the number of knucklebones of your color that you have managed to send into the pit or vase.
The translation game, also called the dimple is the ancestor of the molky and was played in the same way by reaching a number by knocking down the pins, not with numbers at that time, but with different shapes.
The tropa game or the ancestor of the Angevin stopper which consists of throwing nutshells or small pebbles in a defined area which is made up of 16 distinct zones. The further we managed to throw the stones and in the same area, the more points we scored by the majority of stones that belonged to us.
The game of the circle and the pentagram which was played in approximately the same way. For the circle, we played from a distance by trying to throw our stones or nutshells into the circle, while for the pentagram it was the one who touched the most lines with his wooden sticks who won.
In the game of the delta, we draw a triangle with degrees represented by sticks. They also represent separations of the playing area. We then won the number of nuts corresponding to the line where our nut stops on one of its sticks.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of the "Offs du JJV"!
"No game can be played without rules."
Before starting the game, we all chose to be aware of the rules and to mostly follow them to put all players on an equal footing.
Because if we don't follow the same rules, some players could take advantage of others and lack fair play. This is what happens when you play with dishonest players in everyday life.
For some, lying and bluffing is part of their way of being. These are the same people who will tell you that rules are made to be broken and who create their own for you...
But as with games, the draw will not always be in their favor... And I am honestly not sure that when they in turn suffer harassment or insults while walking down certain streets in Vaison, they will have the strength that I myself had to hold on. ;)
It is a fair return of things if the people who are sweet in front of others and bluff to better fool others receive the energies of what they have given.
The game of life also has its rules and it does not compromise on them. We cannot hope to lead a life where we put others down without having to suffer the consequences. These are the same people who say they do not understand why only bad things happen to them and that they are unlucky.
The rule of the game of life, as in gambling, is to follow the rules at the risk of suffering penalties. I don't wish any harm to the people who harass and insult me in Vaison, but believe me when I see karma taking care of them, I don't feel sorry for them either... We reap what we sow and that's a universal rule of life. Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we are going to talk about some card games!
To your cards, 2 to 8 players from 4 years old for 10 to 20 minutes, to place your colors, pairs or higher values!
The battle
The goal is to win all the cards. The one who draws the strongest card from the deck is the dealer. He shuffles the cards, and makes his partner "cut" the deck. He distributes the cards one by one, starting with his partner, face down, until the last one.
The players gather their cards in a deck, face down. The other player turns over the top card of his deck (the one received last) on the table, then the dealer does the same. The one with the strongest card takes the 2 cards and puts them under his deck.
If both players play cards of the same value, it is said that there is a "battle". Each player must then cover their first card with a face-down card, then another face-up card.
The player who played the strongest card collects all the cards played and puts them under their deck, after having put them all back in the right direction. End of the game. The one who has collected all the cards is the winner
The lousy
From a deck of 52 cards, remove the jack of clubs. For the smallest, also remove the 7, 8, 9, 10. The goal is not to be the last player to have the lousy (the jack of spades) in their hands.
A draw is made to determine who starts. The first player deals all the cards, face down. Each player looks at their cards and makes associations 2 by 2, by value (5, jack, king, etc.) and by color (red or black).
For example, the king of spades + the king of clubs (black); the 9 of hearts and the 9 of diamonds (red). All the pairs thus formed are placed face up in the middle of the table.
When the players no longer have the possibility of making a pair, the first player presents his cards face down to the player on his left. The latter draws a card and, if he can, makes a new pair, which he places in the middle of the table. And so on for the following players.
Players who no longer have any cards no longer play. The player with the last card in hand (the jack of spades, the lousy one) has lost. The other players can give him a forfeit!
The liar
The aim of the game is to no longer have any cards in hand. A player distributes all the cards between the different players then places a card of his choice in the middle of the game, face up, announcing the suit (clubs, spades, etc.).
In turn, each player must place a card of the same suit on top, always face down and always announcing the suit. But he can lie: for example, announce "diamonds" and place a club card.
If he suspects a lie, the next player can say: "Liar!" and turn the card over to check. If the card was indeed of the requested suit, the accusing player collects, as a penalty, all the cards placed on the table. If the card was not of the suit, it is the player who lied who collects the cards.
The player who collected the pile of cards restarts the game by placing the card of the suit of his choice, face up, and so on... The first player to have no more cards wins. The game ends when a player collects all 52 cards. This player is the loser and the winner gives him a forfeit!

The game of ivory figures
Ancestor of puzzles such as tangram, it consisted of 14 small pieces of different shapes that had to be assembled to recreate shapes or models.
Children were taught to read with an identical game but with letters. The centons, ancestor of our current santons, were used for children's games, adults and offerings.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"You have to play to become serious"
As I have worked in different organizations, I have seen my players evolve and progress towards more advanced ranges of games.
My expert players are always keen on more innovative and stimulating game mechanics that encourage them to be focused and always more serious.
In the order of good seriousness, where we like to rack our brains to know what will be the best catch and strategy to obtain it. Board games develop logic and reflection that allow us to choose the best solution to try to win.
And if we don't necessarily play to win, we always win by having enjoyed a moment of friendly reflection where even the other players sometimes guide us to find a solution.
We then all have the same rules and we start on an equal footing when we play the games. And then when you haven't always played, you discover that you can like one style of game more than another and that's completely normal.
As far as I'm concerned, it's puzzles and brain teasers that I like less while at the same time I love expert games where you have to rack your brains to capture positions, develop resources to win majorities or other more interesting resources...
The game allows seriousness, because it allows reflection in a reassuring framework of common bases with identical rules for all players. We therefore have benchmarks to develop more or less complicated strategies depending on the games.
And then the game also stimulates a reflection that we don't necessarily always use on a daily basis and takes us out of our routine by offering us bases that allow us to evolve at our own pace. The game is serious because we follow rules and we have a precise framework to move forward. But the game is also and above all moments of happy sharing.
Have a good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Our Play with thought of the day comes from Aristotle.

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Reversi!
Place your pawns, 2 players from 7 years old for 10 to 20 minutes, to reverse the game and impose your color!
Reversi is played on a 64-square board, with two-color pawns, black and white.
Two players compete with the aim of conquering the game board by placing the most pawns of their color. The game ends when one of the two players can no longer place pawns, even if the 64 squares are not occupied.
Each player has 32 pawns at the start of the game, then they choose their respective color, black or white. Each player will keep this color throughout the game and will therefore place these pawns on the side of their color.
At the start, the players place two pawns each facing each other and crossed so that each of their white pawns is facing a black pawn. Each in turn, the players will place a pawn of their color on each side of the other player's pawns to surround the line and turn it over.
We therefore need two pawns of our color to surround the opponent's pawns and be able to turn over the line or the captured pawns. We turn over our opponent's pawns on the side of our color and they are now ours.
The black pawns start. You must always play next to pawns that are already placed on the game board, you cannot play away from this area. If you cannot play, you then pass your turn.
By surrounding the opponent's pawns, you can turn over a few pawns, a line or several if the position of our pawn allows them to be captured. The row of pawns turned over must be continuous in order to be able to surround it.
It must not be cut by one of your pawns or contain an empty space for the capture to be validated. We must then absolutely turn all the pawns in the row, even if this does not benefit us for the rest of the game. A pawn can be removed from the game to be placed elsewhere if the row of pawns has not been turned over or if the other player has not yet played.
If one of the players has no more pawns but can still play, the other player must give him pawns until one of the players can no longer play. The game ends as soon as both players can no longer place pawns.
The player with the majority color on the board wins the game. We subtract the number of points of the losing player from those of the winner to know the number of points he has won.
If for example the player with black pawns has 37 pawns and the one with white pawns has 27, the player with black pawns will win 37-27, so 10 points. We can play in two rounds and a beautiful or count up to 100 points to have a definitive winner.

The mosaicist game
The children played at recomposing mosaics and it required a certain logical mind.
The tiles were divided diagonally between black and white and they had to be adjusted to create patterns.
We could place the tiles in 4 different positions and we often played with 196 mosaics to recreate patterns.
These are tokens resembling the same as the mosaics of professional mosaicists.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The game is a bridge between the most diverse cultures on our planet."
I am aware that I am very lucky to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures during my game animations. You are always very inclined to discover and share good times and passionate discussions around board games.
I am lucky to animate in Vaison and its surroundings and in a few other cities in France. I also have from time to time the leisure and the pleasure of having beginners and passionate gamers play and play with them in other countries like Italy and Spain... I am always very happy to meet different people who allow me to open my horizons humanly.
I left naturally very curious to discover new things and especially new beautiful people. I like these people without calculation who just want to be in exchange and sharing. It is with her that we can create bonds and strong friendships that last over time.
It is also quite nice to discover other versions of games that we sometimes only know in French. The famous Galérapagos is called Hellapagos in English, for example, or the 6 qui prend is called 6 nihmt in German.
The games of today and before have one thing in common: they have always brought people together and mixed to create new games. By the way, did you know that the author of Trio is a Japanese named Kaya Miyano?
We are lucky in the world of board games to have talented authors and illustrators from all countries! Board games bring people and projects together in a unique way to create nuggets that we can play later…

Hello everyone!
Our Play with thought of the day comes from Georges Duhamel:

Have a good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Today we are going to talk about Chess!
Move your pawns, 2 players from 6 years old for 20 to 30 minutes, to try to checkmate your opponent!
At the beginning of the game, the pieces are always placed in the same way. The pieces are in a castle. At the corner of the castles, there are always Rooks. Each player therefore places a Rook at each corner of the chessboard. Next to the Rooks, there are the stables: we therefore put our two Knights there.
In the middle of the castle sit the King and the Queen. The Queen is very elegant, she likes to place herself on a square of the color of her dress: the white Queen on the white square, the black Queen on the black square. We can also notice that the Queens occupy the d column.
To amuse the King and Queen, the two Bishops are placed next to them. And the pawns are soldiers who defend the castle: so the eight pawns are placed in front of the other pieces, on the second row.
Since the Queens are initially placed on the d-file, the four files from a to d are called the queenside and the four files from e to h are called the kingside. It is important to remember these terms, not only because it sounds more scholarly, but because we will often use them in more advanced courses.
Both players take turns by moving only one of their pieces (castling, which we will see later, is an exception to this rule). If a piece moves to a square occupied by an opposing piece, the latter is captured and removed from the board. A piece cannot move to a square occupied by a piece from its own side. Only the Knight can jump over the other pieces.
Bishop The Rook moves horizontally or vertically, as many squares as it wants. The Rook cannot go to a square occupied by a piece from its side, nor jump over another piece. The Rook can capture an opponent's piece by going to the square occupied by this piece. The Bishop moves diagonally, as many squares as it wants.
Each player starts with a Bishop on a black square and a Bishop on a white square. These Bishops can never change color during the entire game.
The Queen moves like the Rook and the Bishop: it can therefore move vertically, horizontally and diagonally, as many squares as it wants (without of course being able to pass over another piece or being able to capture a piece from its own side).
As it is the most mobile piece, it is also the piece with the greatest value. The King moves only one square, in all directions. When a King is attacked by an opposing piece, it is said to be in check.
A player is not allowed to leave his King in check. He is also not allowed to move his King to a square where it will be attacked (and therefore in check).
The Knight's movement is a little more complicated, and there are several ways to explain it. I like to say that the Knight moves two squares horizontally or vertically, then takes a step to the side. It therefore makes a sort of capital L, turned in any direction.
We can notice that a Knight that is on a white square can, on the next move, only go to black squares (and vice versa). The Knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces (its own and the opponent's).
The pawn is the only piece that cannot move backward. It is also the only piece that does not capture as it moves forward. Pawns move forward one square on the same file, if the square in front of them is free. They capture on one or the other of the two squares in front of them diagonally. A pawn on its starting row can move forward two squares (but it is not obliged to).
When a pawn on its starting row moves forward two squares and ends up next to an opponent's pawn, then the opponent can, on the next move (and only that move), take the pawn that has just moved forward with his pawn as if the opponent's pawn had only moved forward one square.
When a player advances a pawn to the last row, or if he takes a piece that is on the last row with a pawn, he must replace it with a piece of his choice (Queen, Rook, Bishop or Knight), regardless of the pieces remaining on the board. He can thus end up with two Queens, or 3 Bishops, etc.
Castling is a special move that concerns the King and one of the two Rooks. When the King and this Rook are still on their initial squares and there are no more pieces between them, the player can move the King two squares towards the Rook, then place this Rook on the square right next to the King, on the other side.
Castling can be done on the kingside (this is called short castling) or on the queenside (this is called long castling).
Castling is a very special move: it is the only move where two pieces can be moved at once, it is the only move where the King moves two squares, and it is the only move where the Rook jumps over another piece.
Beware of the following rules that prevent castle temporarily or permanently. A player cannot castle if: there are one or more pieces between the King and the Rook the King or the Rook have already moved (and returned to their initial square).
Have a nice day and good game ;)

Game of love and chance.
Tap dance was played with a poppy or anemone leaf. It was placed on the thumb and index finger placed in a circle of the left hand. It was struck with the hollow of the right hand. If the sound made by the leaf tearing was loud, our beloved loved us. It was also played using a double lily that we blew into the cavity and then crushed to find out the same thing in the same way.
We also threw apples at our beloved and if she or he returned them, the love was reciprocal.

Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The game is the first poem of existence."
If we appreciate a little the small and simple things of life, we can just as well appreciate a beautiful text, a beautiful song, a beautiful poem.
But before all things, we all begin to awaken to the world through toys and games. Children have always discovered and imitated their parents through imitation and board games.
One of these sweets that we have all known at one point in our lives. For me, the game began with a battle around the age of three with my grandfather and quickly evolved into chess at the age of 5.
My grandfather was convinced that the game allowed to create a bond and with time, I can see every day that I agree with him.
Sharing a moment around games is always a parenthesis out of time. A gift that has been given to us and that is just as sweet as a poem in our existence.
Who does not have memories of a game that has marked them. Whether it is chess, monoply, good pay to name a few among the classics. Or even azul, galerapagos, vegas or hive to name a few among more intermediate games.
We all have memories and good times shared around board games, like a beautiful madeleine of Proust. All these moments, recent or old, that I cherish all the others… ;)

“The game is the first poem of existence.”
Have a good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Backgammon!
Place your pieces, with 2 players from 6 years old for 20 to 30 minutes, to try to get them out and win points!
The game board is divided into 4 frames or dials. Each frame is made up of 6 arrows. These represent the squares of the game. Each piece will move on these arrows according to the roll of the 2 dice.
The board is separated by the bar separating the inner frames from the outer frames. The Videau (Vido) is a 6-sided die whose values are: 2-4-8-16-32-64; it will be used to bid during the game. The 15 white and black pawns must be arranged on the board symmetrically.
Each player rolls the die, the one who rolls the highest die starts. The pawns move in opposite directions to each other. For white in a clockwise direction and for black in the opposite direction. The pawns never move back.
The player starting the game rolls his two dice. This roll of the dice indicates how many squares the player must advance his pawns.
The player can advance:
• 2 pawns each of the value of one of the dice
• 1 pawn of the value of the two dice combined.
Each pawn played can land on:
• An arrow occupied by pawns of its color
• An empty arrow
If the arrival arrow is occupied by 2 or more opposing pawns, movement is not possible. If the arrow is occupied by a single opposing pawn, the player's pawn takes the place of the opposing pawn, which is then captured and placed on the bar.
In all cases, you must always move forward exactly by the value obtained on the dice. If this is not possible, the player passes his turn.
When a player rolls a double (both dice are the same value), the points obtained are multiplied by two. For example, having rolled two 4s, you can move a pawn forward 16 squares; two pawns of 8 or a pawn of 4 and another of 12 or choose to move four pawns of 4. Each die must be feasible. A player cannot pass his turn if the move is possible.
When a pawn is going to stop on an arrow where there is only one opponent's pawn, he "takes" it. We say that the pawn is "captured". The opposing player then places his captive pawn on the central part of the board called the bar. He must absolutely remove his pawn(s) from this space to continue to advance his other pawns.
To put a captive pawn back into play, the player rolls both dice and can use one of the two dice that interests him. The value of the unused die is lost. You cannot put several pawns back into play at the same time. The pawn that comes into play takes "prisoner" the one on the arrival arrow (if it is alone and it is an opponent's pawn).
When all of a player's pawns have finally arrived in his home board, he will be able to remove them from the board. A pawn can only leave if it gets the exact number on the die (just beyond the edge of the board).
For example, if a pawn is 4 arrows away from the exit, it can exit with a 5. Once it is out, a pawn can no longer re-enter the game. The doubling cube, the 6-sided die (whose values are: 2-4-8-16-32-64) will indicate the number of points at stake in the game.
The game starts with a base value of 1 point. If during the game, a player thinks he has a chance of winning, he can ask to change the base value (before rolling his dice) by doubling the game.
His opponent can then accept and continue the game with a new stake that can evolve, be doubled again during the game and so on. The player who accepts the double will be the only one who can double the game again.
If the opponent on the other hand does not accept, he abandons the game and gives his opponent the number of points indicated by the doubling cube.
The first player to get his 15 pieces out wins the game. The winner scores the number of points indicated by the cube. If the losing player has not bought back or removed a single one of his pieces from the board, the winner is said to have made a Gammon. He multiplies the points on the cube by 2. If the losing player still has pieces in the winner's home board, or prisoners, the winner is said to have made a Backgammon. He multiplies the points on the cube by 3.
Have a good day and good game ;)

Dice and cones were used for divination and omens. They were thrown on the table. If the throw was good, it was a good omen, otherwise it did not bode well. The throw of Venus with the knucklebones brought luck in love if all the knucklebones were on their sides.
The cottable was used to read the destiny of lovers with a cup in hand. When the wine was thrown, the noise it made when falling determined whether it was a good or bad omen.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Whoever goes will see; whoever stays will get nothing."
When I opened the store in June 2018, I didn't imagine that I would be offered such interesting collaborations. When I set up seven years ago, the gaming world was not present in Vaison and some people laughed at my project.
I had the pleasure of being invited to participate in the Buis les Baronnies gaming festival thanks to the Mistigri association. I didn't hesitate and tried to offer a stand worthy of the gaming festival that the association was offering.
I carried out a few external services that I would not have even considered when the store opened. I thought that the events would take place in Vaison and its surroundings, which was already not bad.
I had the opportunity to be discovered by Mac Donald of Saint Romain and then to take advantage of being contacted by public and private institutions in Vaison and its surroundings.
I am very happy to see that animations that were unknown when I opened the store are now well appreciated. I can make you enjoy and enjoy the fun world with you and that is priceless.
Sometimes abroad to animate, I appreciate all the times of animations that I share with you as much as each other. All these unique moments mark the history of the store and always enrich me a little more humanly.
Have a good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Our Play with thought of the day comes from an African proverb:
“The one who will go will see; the one who will stay will have nothing.”

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Make a snake!
Help the snakes, from 2 to 4 players from 3 and more for 15 minutes, to know which one can place his head nearer to its tail !
The funny snakes in this children's game have decided to challenge each other to see who can get their head closest to their tail. Help them decide! Also try the cooperative mode with the lollipop hunt and the dragon egg, two variations to play together!
Principle of the game
Competitive mode
Game progress
Each player takes 1 snake head, 1 snake tail and 1 attachment, in the color of their choice.
During the game, you will add new tiles to your snake. Your snake's tail must be as close as possible to its head to win.
On your turn, roll the die, and choose a color from those shown by the die. Take the first tile from the corresponding pile. Attach this tile to your snake. You can roll your snake up on itself and cover the tiles.
End of the game
When there are only 2 stacks of tiles left, the players end the round and each player attaches their tail tile to their snake.
The player who gets the smallest distance between the tongue and the tail of their snake wins the game!
Cooperative mode (Lollipop hunt)
Your snake must touch the 4 lollipops!
The game is played in the same way as previously explained but the players all play together, with the same snake.
If any player manages to make the snake touch the 4 Lollipop tokens before 2 of the 4 stacks of tiles are exhausted, you all win the game!
Cooperative mode (The dragon egg)
Defeat the 3 guards and recover the stolen egg.
On your turn, roll the die, and add a tile to your snake according to the usual rules. The players all play together, with the dragon. It has 3 connectors for the snake heads and 1 connector for the tail. As soon as a snake body tile touches a guard token (you have beaten the guard), attach a snake head to it.
After beating the 3 guards, you can try to recover the stolen dragon egg. But be careful! The egg is fragile, you risk breaking it if you touch it. You must surround the egg with snake tiles.
If the players manage to beat the 3 guards and recover the dragon egg before 2 of the 4 stacks of tiles are exhausted, you all win the game! If you fail, don't hesitate to try again
Have a good day and good game ;)

"The delicacy of gestures reveals that of feelings"
I have customers and players who are mostly adorable and I realize how lucky I am and am very grateful to you.
I recently had one of my players tell me that I was someone who was very attentive and caring and that it showed in my attitude and my gestures towards others in the store and in events.
I try every day to listen to you as much as possible, whether in the store or in events. It is important for me to try to meet your expectations as best I can.
My players tell me that I am always patient and that I made them laugh a lot in events and in the store, they thank me for my listening and my advice.
The children I work with call me "the smile fairy" and I find that adorable, because the most beautiful smiles are not mine, but theirs...
The human contacts we have enrich me and build my professional and personal experience. I am very happy that you are by my side on my playful path and to be able to offer you the nuggets that it offers us.
Have a good day and good game ;)

Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"If you want to go fast, walk alone but if you want to go far, let's walk together"
I always knew since the beginning of the store in June 2018 that I wanted to take you with me in my passion for the gaming world. Seven years already since I started and that I live this adventure with you. Thank you again!
Because opening a store to stay anchored alone in it is very sad, I wanted to develop the animations. And I am very happy to have always believed in it, even when they had trouble taking off at the very beginning.
I finally did well to believe and launch my project because for all these years we have shared good times together around games, whether by talking about them or playing them.
I love it when I see that the gaming world has evolved well in Vaison and that it continues to make new fans. I have a big flaw concerning the store, it's that as soon as I start talking about games, I have a hard time stopping.
I love explaining games to you and making you discover fun nuggets throughout the year at the store and in game events. Sharing with you always teaches me new and interesting things.
So as long as we walk together, I am ready to move at your pace while always being a force for proposals to energize the gaming world together and always share good times together.
Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
And today we’re gonna talk about Jungle Speed!
Rely on your sense of observation and quick reflexes, from 2 to 10 players aged 7 and more during 10 minutes, to find the symbols leading to the totem and then victory !
In Jungle Speed, you must rely on your keen sense of observation and quick reflexes. It requires a steady hand -- which can be hard to maintain during the many fits of maniacal laughter! The wooden Totem sits in the middle of the table, waiting for the player with the fastest reflexes to snatch it up and win the game.
Each player is dealt a hand of cards. In order to win you must be the first player to get rid of all of your cards. Each turn, all of the players reveal one of their cards.
If two cards are identical, those players must make a grab for the Totem. The faster player then gives their cards to their unfortunate adversary.
To add to the difficulty, certain cards are almost identical, which can trick a hapless player into grabbing the Totem by mistake -- a grave error. Other cards force all players to make a grab at once, change the method of play, or otherwise add to the difficulty.
Good day and good game ;)

Victoria Falls - One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World
Prepare to be amazed by the power and beauty of Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Nicknamed "the smoke that thunders", the falls are considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
The Zambezi River plunges over a 100-metre-high cliff, creating a breathtaking cascade that stretches for over a kilometre. The sound of the water, the mist rising from the falls and the rainbows forming in the spray make Victoria Falls a truly mesmerising sight.
Visitors can explore the falls from different viewpoints, take boat rides or even bungee jump from the nearby Victoria Falls Bridge for an adrenaline-pumping experience.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"It is by trying again and again that the monkey learns to jump."
If we give up as soon as we fail to do something, we are sure to never succeed. Just like when we learned to walk, we fell but each time we got up.
I learned from a very young age with my grandfather that failures teach us to better carry out our actions afterwards and lead us to success.
I am gifted with determination and an unfailing will, because I have always seen my grandparents fight in life to get what they wanted.
I am very lucky to have been to a good school and I learned my life lesson well alongside my grandparents. I have known since a very young age how to discipline myself to get what I want to achieve.
If I don't succeed the first time, I learn from my failures to understand what I could have improved and to continually progress.
If we had given up at the first fall when we were learning to walk, we simply wouldn't walk. So if we give up on our projects or what we care about, we can't succeed in making them see the light of day.
It's by trying again and again, even if we are discouraged, even if we don't want to anymore, that we end up making our projects come to life. We don't always get what we want, but if we tried and failed, we are already one step further to try our luck again later.
Have a good day and good game ;)

And today we’re gonna talk about Jurassic World!
Manage the best way your dinosaurs parc, from 2 to 6 players aged 12 and more during 45 to 90 minutes, for your visitors to enjoy it !
Jurassic World is a game where players work together to manage a dinosaur park. Each player chooses an employee to help them look after the park. Employees have various skills, which allow them to place buildings and create dinosaurs for example.
You spread word about the park by entertaining your visitors. However, be careful! The more dinosaurs the park contains, the greater the chance of break outs with gruesome consequences.
Jurassic World is a cooperative board game from 2 to 6 players. It's a combination of making the right choices with your teammates and some luck with rolling the dice. Players start their turn together by placing their banners strategically in the preparation phase. In the action phase players take actions based on where they placed their banner in the previous phase. In the action phase players take actions, for example: Digging up dinosaurs, researching dinosaurs, placing dinosaurs in their paddock, building entertainment buildings or buying upgrades.
They succeed in these actions by rolling the right numbers with the dice. If all that is going according to plans, players will be able to fulfill all the requirements of a mission and win the game.
But if something goes wrong and the 'danger meter' reaches 20, all players will lose the game.

The Great Migration in East Africa
One of the most impressive natural phenomena in Africa is the Great Migration, which takes place in the East African region.
Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebras and other herbivores undertake a perilous journey in search of greener pastures.
This incredible migration spans thousands of kilometres, with the animals moving from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and back again.
The Great Migration is a breathtaking spectacle, with the vast herds crossing crocodile-infested rivers and facing many challenges along the way.
Witnessing this natural phenomenon is an experience that leaves visitors in awe of the power and resilience of nature.
Have a great day and enjoy the game ;)
