Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about the expression "for intérieur".
In the Middle Ages, the word took on the technical meaning of jurisdiction and especially ecclesiastical jurisdiction (powers of the Church, in matters of justice, and their extent.)
A distinction was made between the « for intérieur » (the Church could sanction faults committed through confession and penances), and the « for extérieur » (all matters relating to religion, directly or indirectly, were judged by ecclesiastical courts).
The distinction gradually changed meaning over the centuries: internal forum being our conscience which judges us, the external forum, institutions, judges and courts.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Time Arena!
Through relentless wars for its control, the Time Lords endangered the source of immortality.
To avoid its drying up and their own demise, they created the Arena of Time: a sacred place where they fight, summoning the spirits of warriors from ancient times or from distant galaxies.
Those who manage to dominate time and destroy the opposing Totem obtain the right to access the source and thus ensure the lineage of the Time Lords.
Time Arena is a showdown game for two players or two teams.
You control four fighters, and your objective is to destroy your opponents' Totem Pole - but time is running out and you only have five minutes ...
When the stopwatch indicates "0", you lose the game!
In more detail, players take turns performing their team's actions, after which the other player's (or team's) turn begins.
Each player has five minutes, which they can use as they wish throughout the game.
At the start of the game, the first player triggers the arena clock, which counts their time.
When they decide their turn is over for whatever reason, they skip the game by pressing the arena clock.
This ends both their countdown and begins the opponent's countdown.
You will also have to deal with another factor of time since each of the characters forming your team has a specific cooldown.
When a character is destroyed in the Arena of Time, their hourglass is flipped and the character returns to play after all the sand is used up.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
This month, for halloween, we are going to explain an additional game to you and that game will be Deadlines!
Deadlines is a game of both atmosphere and general culture, to play with family or friends!
Overall, you will have to classify known characters according to their date of birth, length of life, and date of death.
Concretely, how do you play it?
Already, you have to be between 1 and 10, and be over 12 years old (otherwise it's less interesting).
You will have to place the three cards "date of birth", "length of life", and "date of death" below the three piles that you have previously formed with the remaining 200 cards.
Place a personality card below the first three cards.
From this point on, the players take their turn as follows:
- Choose one of the cards that is on the three piles.
-Choose one of the three columns (date of birth, for example).
Take the card, without turning it over, and put it in the right place in the selected column, before, after, or between the cards already placed. When turning the card over, there are two scenarios.
Either the card is well placed, in which case it stays in the column and increases the difficulty of the game, or it is not well placed.
In this second case, the player who placed it gets it back in hand. It is a mistake.
The game ends when twelve cards have been placed in each of the three columns. Some cards, those written on a black background, allow you to perform two new actions.
If you choose such a card, in addition to correctly placing the personality, you can try to guess the circumstances of his death.
If you get close, you can then either: Discard one of your mistakes or give one of the cards of your choice from one of the draw piles to another player to inflict the penalty.
To discover the brief explanation of Deadlines in video, it's here:
You can even test your knowledge here, with the Deadlines quiz:
Have a good discovery, have a good day and have a good game;)

Hello everyone !
The Cannes International Games Festival is fast approaching and we can't wait to be there :)
We can't wait for the 2022 game selection to see who will succeed the 2021 Ace of Gold, Micro Macro!
Who will be the successors of Dragomino for the children category and of The Crew for the expert category?
Until we get there, here is an explanation of what the Golden Ace is and the award-winning categories.
Since 1988, the festival's jury, made up of journalists and professionals, has awarded the Ace of Gold - Game of the Year label, which rewards the best games published during the past year.
The jury awards three different prizes:
-The Golden Ace - Game of the Year rewards a game that is original in its mechanics as well as in its aesthetics. It is attributed to a family game, accessible to the greatest number;
- The Golden Ace - Game of the Year "Child" highlights a game that appeals to younger people but also appeals to their parents;
-The Ace of Gold - "Expert" Game of the Year rewards a more complex game aimed at an "expert" audience who appreciates thinking and isn't afraid to read a few pages of the rules.
Among the approximately 1,000 games published each year, the festival jury selects nine games, three in each category, striving to ensure that its selection is accessible to all ages and all tastes.
Quality, creativity, diversity, flawless mechanics and rules are the most important criteria, as well as the pleasure of playing and the desire to play again.
Here you know everything;) Have a good day and have a good game;)

Hello everyone !
Our classic pastries are much older than you think!
A custard, do you like it? or an apple pie?
These are modern pastries, aren't they? Well no !
First, in the Middle Ages the separation between sweet and savory in the order of dishes did not exist!
This practice is more recent and dates from the 17th century!
In medieval times, a "dessert" corresponded to the third or fourth course, but could be sweet or savory.
But the sweet taste developed in the Middle Ages from the 15th century thanks to the cultivation of sugar cane.
This is how our current desserts find their origins.
Yes, the flan, the pie, the waffles that we called "the forgotten ones" and many other desserts were already delighting the taste buds of good ladies and beautiful young ladies!
And, the use of spices in baking as in medieval cooking was very common.
Good day and good game ;)
