2 words game Top That

2 words game Top That

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Top That!

Budding magicians, for 2 to 4 players, ages 6 and up, for 30 minutes, hide and reveal what needs to be revealed to amaze your audience!

 Be the first to stack your magician's objects to create a "magic trick" while respecting the following rules: colored objects must be visible and gray objects must be hidden. A magical game!

Each player has the same set of 5 objects: a hat, a coin, a rabbit, a red cup, and an orange cylinder.

Each turn, the top card of the pile is revealed. This card shows several objects (sometimes all 5), some in color and others in gray.

All players then simultaneously try to recreate a pile with their objects, but only those shown on the card. All colored objects must be visible in my stack, while all gray ones must be hidden under another object!

Be careful, the objects are obviously not all the same size. You'll need to respect this size range to hide the objects correctly!

The fastest player to recreate the correct stack of objects simply wins the card... The first player to successfully stack the pieces, taking all the information into account, shouts "Top That!" If, after checking, the stack matches the card, the player wins the card; if the stack is incorrect, the player is disqualified for that round, and the other players continue without them.

Then a new round begins by turning over the top card of the draw pile. The player with the most cards wins.

Good day and good game! ;)

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

Heelo everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the « JJV’s Offs » !

"The circus is a place of comedy, where artists can make people laugh."

 

What I really love about working with you on board games is that I can share my good humor with a wide variety of games.

Because just reading you the rules, putting the box on the table, and letting you think about it like that isn't really my thing... I like to be an active participant in our game time so that you can all get the most out of the games together.

And besides, board games are first and foremost about being fun and sharing together, so if your facilitator isn't motivated to introduce them, it shows in the session; we don't have the same fun, and that's a shame.

I'm a bit like your clown for the duration of the session. I love bringing energy and a listening ear to help you explore the world of board games at your own pace.

Because I love seeing you smile, laugh, and enjoy a good time together. A game is a great way to share a moment together while focusing on a game with the same rules, whether you're young or old, a beginner or an expert. I'm a bit like an artist, here to entertain you through board games and my good humor. If I can help you connect and rediscover your smile, then I've already fulfilled part of my mission.

Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Swiss animals battle

2 words game Swiss animals battle

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about the Swiss Animal Battle!

Little nature observers, 2 to 4 players, ages 4 and up, for 10 minutes. It's up to you to find the biggest animal to win!

 Are you familiar with the classic card game War? This game is played on the same principle! Instead of the numbers and characters of a classic deck of cards, you'll find beautifully illustrated cards.

Marmot, lynx, swan... Turn over the cards at the same time as the other players. The card with the biggest animal—or the highest number—wins!

The game consists of animal cards, from smallest to largest, and the numbers 1 to 4 to make it easier for younger children to play. They can then recognize which number is larger by looking at the animals.

High-quality cards made in France by the Swiss publisher Auzou, and easy to play for children who are starting to play board and card games.

Good day and good game! ;)

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

 

I love being able to adapt to you and offer personalized events, sales, and orders based on your interest in board games that are a little off the beaten path.

I'm delighted to see you following me on my sometimes slightly crazy adventure of offering things you don't necessarily see elsewhere in Vaison, France, or Europe!

I knew perfectly well that by specializing in a range of games more original than what my colleagues generally offer, the launch could be a bit risky.

And the first two years were a daily struggle to promote games and small publishers, in addition to a few traditional distributors like Asmodee and Gigamic. Not being fans of the policies of some large distributors towards independent shops, a few of us small shops have chosen to work primarily with other large or small distributors who respect us. When small shops are asked to order as much as large retailers or supermarkets in order to, and I quote, "finally have a decent portfolio," we realize we made the right choice not to favor this major distributor.

We haven't all set out to become ruthless in developing the gaming world or to confuse people by offering ready-made, over-consumed games. Games that will sometimes be played once and then end up gathering dust in closets…

What's really great about the gaming world is that we have other large, small, and medium-sized distributors who treat us with the minimum respect required for a partnership. Even if this disappoints some, mutual respect and a win-win situation are essential values ​​for me in any partnership.

With distributors also recognizing the fun factor, it feels a bit like David versus Goliath, with giants with feet of clay abandoning their creators and small publishing houses along the way because they're no longer profitable enough…

I have principles, and I'll never compromise on them. The moments shared around games are far more interesting than simply collecting unused boxes that don't match our interests but that we bought just because they were trendy…

Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Quart de singe

2 words game Quart de singe

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Quarter Monkey!

Skillful word-makers, for 2 to 8 players, ages 10 and up, for 30 minutes, it's up to you to put the monkey back together to win!

 

Quart Monkey is a vocabulary game that requires thought, bluffing, and a bit of cunning to outwit your opponents using special cards (change of direction, x2, thieving monkey...).

You need to win 4 quarter monkeys to win the game. Players take turns playing letter cards, making sure they always have a word in mind containing all the letters on the table. By accusing a player of bluffing, you can win a quarter monkey if they can't give a word containing all the letters. If the player can answer correctly, they win the quarter monkey.

Quarter Monkey is the perfect party game for gatherings with friends or family. Originally, Quarter Monkey was a word game that can be played in the car, on a school bus, or anywhere else.

This version with letter cards adds new possibilities by allowing players to play the letters randomly and brings a dynamic pace to the game thanks to the joker tiles and the hourglass.

Good day and good game! ;)

JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"Dance is like the circus; it's a spectacle that makes us dream."

 

The most important thing in creating this store is that I wanted you to be able to enjoy fun moments playing games, whether at home or at events.

Board games are a way to enjoy ourselves and have fun together, and to cherish the moments shared with our family, friends, and loved ones.

When you have gamers, you can always be sure to please them with a game that matches their preferences, whether it's the theme, the gameplay mechanics, and especially the shared experience it creates. We take a few steps to discover a new mechanic and then see if we like what it offers or not. And don't forget to let yourself be guided by the game's theme and setting, embarking on a journey to new lands while stimulating your thinking…

I see board games as a pastime just as entertaining and stimulating as dance and circus arts. They transport us to a world of their own, created by talented illustrators and designers. I particularly love the games illustrated by Naïade!

In my opinion, games can allow us to travel and escape from everyday life, if only for a moment. They allow us to immerse ourselves in a universe, a setting, and a game mechanic that will stimulate and soothe us all at the same time.

Good day and good game! ;)

2 words game Krazy Wordz

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Krazy Words!

Whether you're a talented word creator, for 3 to 7 players, ages 10 and up, or for 30 minutes, create original words based on your chosen theme!

Krounch? What is it? An Australian marsupial? A chocolate bar? A rare disease? Nobody knows, and that's what makes this game hilarious: inventing and guessing completely wacky words! Who will invent the funniest words? And who will figure out which themes your opponents' words correspond to? Krazy Words proves that it's still possible to innovate in word games and puzzles.

Each player receives a theme or definition (a dessert, a Chinese city, the name of a candy, etc.). They then create a word from nine randomly drawn letters, hoping the other players will match their word to the theme or definition.

During the voting phase, all the themes and words are displayed. Your goal is to find as many matching pairs as possible, hoping the other players will connect your card to the word you created.

This game can be played with friends or family, including young children. Children under 10 might be confused if they don't understand the card they've drawn, but they can change it. Use the randomly drawn letters to create an original word based on the given theme! Will the other players guess the theme of your word? The winner is the player with the most points after four rounds.

Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!

Due to the current situation, the store is evolving towards new projects!
Indeed, board games are no longer profitable enough, so the store is now becoming a different kind of project.
Packages began being distributed this morning to passersby, and the games sold are on sale online at 50% to 90% off until February 30, 2027.
The store will now be closed during the day and open at night, becoming a karaoke bar where you can sing your heart out! Come and belt out your tunes from Monday to Sunday, 8 pm to 4 am, and let us hear your lovely voices ;) I look forward to seeing you at 40 Avenue Victor Hugo, 84110 Vaison la Romaine, to discover this new concept starting tonight at 8 pm.
Thank you for these, almost, 8 years of board games, and here's to singing! As soon as you arrive, you can contact me under my stage name, April Fish ;)
See you soon, have a great day and enjoy the melody of happiness. ;)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"Cabaret is a performance venue where artists can showcase their talent."

 

The best thing about turning your passion into your profession is that you put your heart and soul into it. I'm so happy to share the best thing about the gaming world with you: its friendly atmosphere. It's a bit like my own stage for sharing my passion for games with you is the store and the events.

I've been trying my best to share my enthusiasm for board games with you every day for almost 8 years now! I'm so happy to see that my partnerships have been renewed every year for several consecutive years now.

I will do everything I can to continue bringing you joy by sharing my passion for board games with you at every opportunity, whether it's through leading activities, in the store, or during our game nights and co-hosting sessions. I'm fortunate to sometimes co-host with or manage teams of wonderful people.

I equally appreciate these shared moments whether I'm leading a team of game night organizers, hosting on my own (most of the time), or co-hosting with former colleagues. We can even dress up and step into the shoes of a character to make the eyes of the little ones light up.

Because above all, for me, game night is and will always be a joyful environment that fosters shared good times. That's why, in addition to offering attractive prices, I wanted to develop game night activities.

2 words game Angry Birds cards

2 words game Anrgy Birds card game

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Angry Birds, the card game!

Bold birds, for 2 to 4 players, ages 6 and up, for 20 to 30 minutes, smash the pigs so they don't steal your precious eggs!

In Angry Birds the battle, face to win as many cards as possible at the end!

The player chooses one of the 4 capacities of his card: power (lightning), distance (arrow), shooting precision (target), rarity (egg) and the shooting height. The player with the value corresponding to the highest announced capacity prevails and wins all the cards involved. In the event of a tie, the cards in play remain in place and the players are starting another round.

Then, we go to the construction phase. The winner of the round returns his cards on the side of the materials to try to build a structure of at least three pieces of the same element (wood, stone or ice). Each structure must be made up of three cards, 2 on the basis and 1 in roof, to be built in this order.

When a player succeeds in placing a structure, he takes one of the pigs in his won cards and he does not use to create a structure and he places it under one of his structures already in place. If he doesn't, we go directly to the next player.

When the winning player has put his pig under his structure, the player who has the highest scoring in shooting height can then launch his bird. The players (except the winning player) draw the card above their card heap and place it in front of them.

If the highest card is that of a pig card, the player wins all the cards in the round of slingshots as well as those of the structures in place of all the players to place them under his heap of cards. If the winning card is a bird, the player wins the cards in the sleeve of the slingshots and the pig.

As soon as a player no longer has cards, he is eliminated. If a player has no more cards in his heap but still in structures on the table, he can use his cards by taking them from top to bottom until he has none.

When there are only two players left and there are no more structures on the table, we can finalize the part without the sleeve of the slingshots. The game then ends as soon as a player creates two structures in front of him. The winner will be the player who has the most cards by summing up the structures cards and the folds of the folds in front of you.

Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"Magic is an art that makes us believe in the impossible."

What I particularly appreciate about the Christmas season is the conviviality and leisurely pace that allows us to daydream. It's a time that makes many of us happier than usual, because we know we'll be spending time with our loved ones and friends.

It's one of many opportunities throughout the year to share unique moments together. More than meals or gifts, it's the memories that will remain and warm our hearts when we think back on them.

I was also very happy to see the progress of some of my players, young and old, during the Christmas holidays. They regained some confidence in themselves and their ability to improve. This might not be my place to speak, but I'm especially proud of you when you achieve goals that seemed impossible.

Personally, I don't understand the concept of "competition," as I've said many times before. For me, I either succeed and learn, or I fail and learn even more than I would with a success. Success or failure, there's always something to be gained from every life experience if we're willing to learn from it.

The Christmas season and its magic are no exception. The illusion allows us to believe that we can achieve the goal we set for ourselves, even when it seems so unattainable, because something, and often someone, encouraged us to believe! It's these moments, which seem so magical in life, that allow us to reconnect with ourselves and keep believing. So keep believing in yourself; wonderful things can always happen! ;)

Cannon Buster is inspired by Koryŏ, but was designed as a family game offering increased interaction between players.

Specifically, each round (six in total), players draw cards according to the round number, then place three in front of them. Players receive cards and will play three of them in order to take advantage of the power of the families they have the most of.

However, the cards for the round are revealed simultaneously, and surprises are frequent. They then determine who has the majority of each character, use their majority effects, and fire cannons. There are also cannons that may (or may not) thin the ranks of opposing players.

Ships will clash with cannon fire while pirates use their special powers to amass as much gold as possible. The player who controls the most pirates and has amassed the most gold at the end of the sixth round will be crowned the new master of Treasure Island.

After six rounds, the winner is determined by counting the gold coins and the number of character tokens in their possession. Bonus points are awarded for possessing ancient cannons.

At the end of the game, the value of our majority families and our gold coins are added together. At least, those we managed to keep... Control the pirates and destroy your opponents to end up as the richest pirate.

The player with the most gold and pirates at the end of the six rounds of the game wins the title of master of Treasure Island.

Good day and good game! ;)

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"Cabaret is a theater of life, where artists show us their soul and their heart."

 

I see life as a cabaret. We are all subject to life's ups and downs. In my case, I try to see what life brings us, and I live as I play, without pretense.

Just as cabaret artists offer us the most poignant moments of their show, I like to be both a spectator and an actor in my own life. This allows me to doubly appreciate these moments that I share with you every day at the store.

You'll never have to wonder with me whether it was just for the show or real life. I don't know how to cheat, in life as in games; I simply can't.

I'm with you at the store and at the games just as I am in everyday life. I don't know how to lie because I'd be too afraid of losing the trust you've placed in me, and especially the trust I've placed in myself. So, I show you the real me when I'm with you.

I value genuine, open-hearted relationships, and I believe that if you want the same from others, you have to be able to give it back. That's why I'm always honest with you, simply because I don't have the inclination to do otherwise. Manipulating, belittling, or harassing is simply not in my nature. I'm not perfect, far from it. But I always make sure to show you at least a minimum of politeness towards those who are insensitive, because that's how my grandparents raised me, and those are values ​​I fully embrace…

I love growing and learning from life's experiences, and learning from you, just as I can teach you things in return. I love this exchange between people that life offers us. We learn so much about ourselves through our interactions with others. So thank you for being part of my cabaret.

Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Happy Galli clowns

2 words game Halli Galli clowns

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Halli Galli Clown!

Little observers, for 2 to 4 players, ages 4 and up, for 15 minutes, who will find the most matching clowns to win!

 

Halli Galli Junior is a fast-paced action game where players must ring the bell when they see two clowns of the same color.

At the start of the game, each player receives cards with clowns in nine different colors. Most look happy, but some are sad. Keep your deck of cards face down; deal one face up in front of you. As soon as you see two happy clowns of the same color, ring the bell.

If you're right, you collect all the played cards and add them to your deck. If you're wrong, you pay one card to each other player. If you run out of cards, you're eliminated. When only two players remain, the game continues until one of them rings the bell. But watch out for the sad clowns who spoil the fun by making you lose cards!

The player with the most cards in their deck wins the game.

Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"The circus is a place of magic, where artists can create incredible illusions."

 

With my small shop, I hope to bring you a little magic by offering games and activities that you'll enjoy.

I love creating tailor-made moments that are unique to you! Because these are personalized gaming sessions, each one different from the last, as unique as you are. ;) For many, I could be compared to a circus clown who makes you laugh with his tools, which for me are games and my good humor. I love seeing you enjoy the activities I offer and seeing you build connections and friendships with other players.

I love helping children who lack self-confidence rediscover their smiles and regain their confidence through play, and above all, through their own efforts. Helping them find untapped inner resources through play, making them smile, is simply the icing on the cake.

They can achieve incredible development and self-confidence when we allow these experiences to come alive or provide structure to help them spread their wings. Rediscovered abilities and heartwarming memories are created through the various games and conversations we share, which brings me immense joy.

 Seeing you smile and be happy, so open to others and sharing good times through play, is my greatest daily reward and the reason I started these workshops. So, if you regain confidence in yourself and your various abilities, it might make you feel like a magician, and I'm happy to play that role just to see you smile. It's because every day, with you, I achieve my goal of bringing people closer to themselves and to others, and that's priceless. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Meeple Circus

2 words game Meeple Circus

Today we're going to talk about Meeple Circus!

Agile acrobats, for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up, for 45 minutes. Who will be the most balanced to wow the crowd?

In Meeple Circus, become the most dazzling circus by putting on sparkling acts! Let the show begin!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the circus! You have only one goal: to entertain and win over your audience! Perform original acts with your troupe—acrobats, circus animals, and stars—to earn the applause of the crowd. But beware: the competition is fierce! In each act, skillfully assemble your meeples to perform required figures, which will allow you to achieve the highest score!

The game is played over three rounds, and during each round, players choose tiles that provide them with equipment for their performance (acrobats (meeples), horses, elephants, tigers, balloons, etc.).

During each of the three performance phases, players stack the meeples and other wooden objects they have collected to fulfill as many of the spectators' criteria as possible. The more objectives a player manages to satisfy, the more victory points they earn. These criteria will change between rounds, and new objectives will appear for subsequent performances, requiring players to plan ahead for the acrobats and accessories needed in case some spectators request them.

In addition to these criteria, some objectives remain constant throughout the game, depending on the acrobats' skill level. Novice acrobats (blue) score one point each if they touch the ground. Intermediate acrobats (yellow) score one point each if they do not touch the ground. The expert acrobats (red) earn points for their highest position during the performance.

During the final round, players must also choose a dare tile that will require them to perform a specific action (clap, sing, jump, etc.) during the construction of their performance.

An app is available for download for Meeple Circus, which allows you to listen to circus music while also acting as a timer.

Good day and good game! ;)

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!

"Pleasure can be based on illusion, but happiness rests on reality."

There are illusions that turn into reality and bring us great happiness. But some hopes are unfulfilled or have guided us towards something else, sometimes much better for us.

When I first started the store, I was so eager to launch outdoor events that I started accepting proposals wherever they were, sometimes authorizing anything and everything...

Organizations where I honored my services and who subsequently refused to pay even though they had signed the quote committing them to pay. So I insisted on receiving my payment and refused to host events in those organizations afterward. Associations or organizations that take the liberty of canceling the event slot at the last minute, claiming I was a micro-business, didn't have to notify me before canceling because that's all I had to do...

Of course, I did my job when asked, but once the events were completed, I refused to do the next ones. In my opinion, respect for both parties in a partnership is the basic criterion.

So I've put simple but basic terms and rules into my partnerships to ensure I don't relive these degrading exchanges for my store. I offer an event service to share good times with players from beginners to avid enthusiasts.

These same organizations that, after disrespecting me and expressing it calmly and respectfully face to face, try to contact me again every year as if nothing had happened. I'm not particularly resentful, but once someone has damaged my store, there's no point in coming to me for anything...

I will never tolerate anyone crossing the line regarding the store, or even me. Never again will I let rude and unpleasant people think it's normal to insult and belittle me and then come and ask me for favors or anything else as if nothing had happened.

If these people come back to me after disrespecting me, it shows that I'm not the problem, otherwise they wouldn't come back. :) They can say whatever they want, intelligent people see beyond the gossip and backbiting... ; )

And my reality now is that I only have partnerships where mutual respect is the basis, and that's priceless... Thank you to these associations and organizations that trust me every year throughout the year. You're awesome too ;)

So thank you for all the great times we shared. Thank you so much for the shared unique moments. Vielen Dank für diesen Momenten zusammen. Muchas gracias para todos estos momentos juntos. Grazie mille per tutti questi momenti insieme. ;)

Good day and good game ;)
