Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is getting to know each other!

We discover a lot of things by playing board games.

You can be a novice or a seasoned player, you always end up discovering new themes or game mechanisms to challenge yourself. It is not always easy to step out of your comfort zone, board games being no exception, to approach and discover things that are unknown to us.

By opening up to games that we do not know, we sometimes discover unsuspected facets of ourselves, as for example during semi-cooperative games.

I am thinking in particular of Galérapagos, to name just one, where we either develop the desire to rot others (in the context of the game of course ^^), to help each other and sometimes end up losing because eliminating by players with whom we had ephemeral alliances…^^

In the end, semi or cooperative or even competitive games, we all want to win, but we can't all win.

Where we all win is by sharing a good time gathered around a game.

Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Mysterium

2 words game Mysterium

On 31/03/2023

Hello everyone ! Today we are going to talk about Mysterium!

Mysterium is a cooperative game of about 40-45 minutes for 2-7 players.

In Mysterium, one player takes on the role of a ghost while all the others represent a medium. To solve the crime, the ghost must first recall (with the help of the mediums) all the suspects present the night of the murder.

A number of suspect, location, and murder weapon cards are placed on the table, and the ghost randomly assigns one of each in secret to a psychic. Each hour (i.e., game turn), the ghost hands one or more face-up vision cards to each medium, filling their hand to seven each time they split vision cards.

These vision cards present dreamlike images to the mediums, with each medium first having to deduce which suspect matches the received vision cards.  After the ghost hands over the cards to the last medium, it begins a two-minute hourglass.

 Once a psychic places their token on a suspect, they can also place clairvoyance tokens on guesses made by other psychics to show whether or not they agree with those guesses.

After the time is up, the ghost reveals to each media whether the guesses were correct or not.

Psychics who guessed correctly move on to guessing the crime scene (and then the murder weapon), while those who did not keep their vision cards and receive new ones the next hour matching the same suspect.

Once a psychic has correctly guessed the suspect, location, and weapon, they move their token to the epilogue board and receive one clairvoyance point for each hour remaining on the clock.

They can still use their remaining clairvoyance tokens to score extra points. If one or more psychics fail to identify their suspect, location, and weapon before the end of the seventh hour, then the ghost has failed and dissipates, leaving the mystery unsolved.

If, however, they were all successful, then the ghost has recovered enough of its memory to identify the culprit. The psychics then group their suspect, location, and weapon cards on the table and place one number per group.

The ghost then selects a group, places the corresponding culprit number face down on the epilogue board, chooses three vision cards – one for the suspect, one for the location, and one for the weapon – then shuffles these cards.

Players with low clairvoyance points turn over a vision card at random, then secretly vote on which suspect they think is guilty; players with more points then turn over a second vision card and vote; then those with the most points see the final card and vote.

 If the majority of psychics have identified the correct suspect, with the ties broken by the vote of the most clairvoyant psychic, then the killer has been identified and the ghost can now rest in peace.

If not, well, maybe you can try again…

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

A passion that makes you creative!

Among the creations that I have been led to carry out with you, some remain in my mind more particularly.

Brico’récup is one of them.

Recovering objects intended to be thrown away to give them a second life is a project that I co-host with pleasure with my former colleagues.

The times of collaborative games during the Christmas workshops where all the children create Christmas decorations and play together around our big games and board games also delight me a lot.

Intergenerational games throughout the year that allow families to laugh and enjoy good times together are priceless.

I have created unique workshops for all of you and I will continue to do so, because I love sharing my passion with you.

2 words game Tit tac boom junior

On 24/03/2023

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Tic tac boom!

Tic tac boum junior is a word and speed game lasting approximately 20 minutes for 2 to 10 players.

This frenetic game is a wonderful exercise in invoking words.

Within a given theme, players try to find a word containing a certain set of words before the time bomb in their hands explodes.  

The bomb is an electronic timer with a variable time allotment, and a player is only allowed to pass the bomb to the next person when they come up with a word containing the theme words.

While the creative spelling of the words in question may be frowned upon, it's up to the guy next to you to determine your fate. In the basic version, recompose the word as quickly as possible so that the bomb passes into the hands of another player.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

The golden super ace was awarded for the first time in February 1988 at the Cannes International Games Festival.

Super Gang is then the first game in a long series of award-winning games for 35 years now!

There were also prizes such as the golden aces of "imagination game", "friendship game", "adventure game", "letter game", "hope gold game", " interactive board game", "benjamin golden ace", "junior golden ace", "innovation", "dice game", "golden ace of the decade", "family game" and " pawn game” to name a few.

The evolutions of the various prizes awarded have followed the evolutions of the world of board games which became particularly rich in the 80s.

In the early 2000s, the prizes were refocused on a smaller number and the jury became even more professional.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

A passion develops!

And since a passion develops, as it goes.

From chess to newer games, I developed a taste for the game quite quickly.

From the creation of my first mini-games and stories to the development of specific board games with children, teenagers and their parents and grandparents when I was an animator, everything has been there.

I also rely a lot on my past and present experiences in animation to try to always offer unique playing times adapted to the different audiences with whom I work on a daily basis.

No audience is the same, so none of my animations are alike. I like to offer you moments of games that look like you.

Playing with you and sharing this passion with you allows me to develop it even more.

Very happy to contribute to the game world on my modest scale, I am very satisfied when I see smiles on your faces and bonds that are created between players.

My most beautiful driving force in this adventure is you, so thank you very much for traveling in my fun bus!

Good day and good game ;)

On 17/03/2023

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Hanabi!

Hanabi, named after the Japanese word meaning "fireworks", is a cooperative game lasting 25 to 45 minutes for 2 to 5 players.

Players try to create the perfect fireworks display by placing the cards on the table in the correct order.

(In Japanese, hanabi is written 花火; these are respectively the ideograms flower and fire.) .

 The deck of cards consists of five different suits of cards, numbered 1-5 in each suit.

For each color, players try to place a line in the correct order from 1 to 5.

Sounds easy, right?

 Well, not quite, because in this game you hold your cards in such a way that they can only be seen by other players.  

To help other players play a card, you must give them hints regarding the numbers or colors of their cards.

Players must act as a team to avoid mistakes and complete the fireworks before they run out of cards.

Hello everyone !

Since 1978 in Germany the prize for the game of the year, literally the Spiel des Jahres is awarded.

Each year the prizes are awarded by a jury of specialized journalists to the German and foreign prizes of the previous 12 months.

The notations are made on the idea, the originality, the rules, the playability, the presentation as well as the mechanics of the game.

Nominations announced in May and prizes announced in June.

The Spiel des Jahres awarded special prizes such as "best complex game", "best fantasy game", "best historical adaptation", "most beautiful game" and many more!

They ended up disappearing later in favor of the creation of other awards in the late 80s.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

When the passion for the game takes you!

The passion for the game took me when I was about 2 or 3 years old.

It started with a basic battle game with my grandparents, then it continued with chess from the age of 3.

By dint of determination and failures, I ended up, thanks to my grandfather, a former chess competitor, by winning against him at the age of 5.

It was also at this same age that I began to learn to read and write, which allowed me to start creating my first board games.

Apart from having created a Risk with the world map of my schoolgirl desk and pawns and dice taken from different games, I was already creating stories.

Quite short, given my young age, but always sharing them with friends and girlfriends.

From the age of 9, I created stories in game books and others that looked like falling in love with escape games that we played at school with my little friends on the playground.

Since December 2022, I have embarked on game books for children and adults on the store's website.

You will also be able to find some in December 2023.

2 words game Râ

On 10/03/2023

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Ra!

Ra covers 1500 years of Egyptian history in less than an hour for 2-5 players and a game time of 45-60 minutes.

Players seek to expand their power and fame and there are many ways to achieve this: influencing the pharaohs, building monuments, farming on the Nile, paying homage to the gods, advancing the technology and culture of the people.

Ra is an auction and set collection game. Each turn, players can buy a lot of tiles with their auction tiles (suns). The game lasts for three "epochs" (turns).

Once a player has used their suns, the other players continue until they do the same, which can create a situation with only one uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round.

 Tension mounts because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three prizes for the time.

The different tiles give immediate points, prevent negative points from not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round.

And all this is for the glory of the Sun God Ra!

Good day and good game ;)

So 35 years this year that games are awarded and rewarded for their originality!

The first golden ace in 1988 was Super Gang, where gangs of evildoers run rampant.

Their goal is to bring in as much money as possible by doing heists and other thunderous activities until the police come in, we try to send him to the other players to save his skin...

Since 1988, the game world has evolved and its specialization has made it and still makes it unique in its kind...

On 03/03/2023

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Hiroba!

 

In Hiroba, you have to place numbered pebbles in gardens based on the rules of sudoku and have the largest sum in these gardens to be able to score points.

For the first round, players must place a pebble on a starting circle present in the gardens (it doesn't matter which one).

Then, still in turn, the players can place a pebble by respecting the following placement rules:

-A pebble must be placed in the same row or column in which the player has already placed a pebble previously;

-There cannot be more than one pebble of the same value in the same line, column or garden (there are 2 gardens per tile);

-Each roller can be played on any side (each roller has 2 different numbers whose sum is 10);

-You cannot place a pebble where a pebble, a rock or a koi carp is already present.

If a player has a rock, he can place only one during his turn in addition to the numbered pebble. The rock is used to prevent another player from placing a pebble on it.

When all the players have placed their pebbles, the points are counted.

First, for each koi carp, the player whose sum of pebbles surrounding the carp is the lowest, wins the fish and can use it to double the value of a garden they have won.

Only one carp can be used per garden. Unused carp are worth 1 point.

Then, garden by garden, we add up the pebbles.

The player with the highest sum in a garden earns a number of points equal to the number of squares making up the garden.

We add up all the points in the gardens and the player with the most points wins the game!

Good day and good game ;)

Sessho-seki Stone

 

The Sessho-seki stone, which according to Japanese legends “seals” the spirit of a vengeful demon from the outside world, has split in two.

According to Japanese mythology, the Sessho-seki stone, which is actually a large volcanic rock, had the power to instantly kill anyone who touched it.

In short, she is said to be the transmutation of the "demon" known as Tamamo-no-Mae.

According to legends, this demon was believed to have been a beautiful woman whose spirit was possessed by the nine-tailed fox, or kitsune, a spirit known for its tricks and traps.

Known for answering every question posed to her, Tamamo-no-Mae is said to have been part of a plot to seduce and kill Emperor Toba, who fell ill as a result of the plot.

The fox spirit was then exposed and hunted down by two mythological warriors, and then incorporated the Sessho-seki stone as a final obstacle, releasing poisonous gas.

Today we are going to talk about Thief's Destiny!

 

Nabbara: A city full of wonders and stories to tell - a glittering gem in the middle of the desert.

You are a thief, always on the lookout for the next target to hit.

You decide to sneak into the Royal Palace, break into its treasure room, and search for the mythical treasures said to be hidden there.

Among piles of gold, emeralds and precious jewels, you come across a chest containing a mysterious hourglass.

As soon as you touch it, you are filled with mystical energy and realize its true power: you are now able to see glimpses of your own future.

By adopting different courses of action, different paths unfold before you, allowing you to shape your future as you see fit.

Unfortunately, everyone in the palace is now after you...

Thief's Fate is a card game for 1-4 players in which each player represents a different possible future of the same character.

By visiting different locations, interacting with local characters, and making sure that certain events you've seen actually happen, you try to find the path that will take you as far away from danger as possible.

In more detail, players each have three areas in front of them: past, present and future.

Over five turns, players draft location, event, and character cards, adding them to their personal "future" area with resources on those cards.

Players extract resources from these cards, and when empty, the cards enter the player's present, after which the player can activate the power of these cards to score the fortune points they need to win the game .

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

 

The evil eye

 

The evil eye is a belief that a look, praise or compliment from one person to another has the power to bring a curse or bad luck to the latter.

The "murderous gaze", capable of attracting misfortune, illness or death, appears in the texts of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria.

In Europe during the Middle Ages, witches were known to use the evil eye against anyone who had the misfortune to cross their path.

Their victims were then stricken with various ailments, lost the love of their spouse or were thrown into misery.

In this belief, witches – being associated with the image of old women – would be linked to menopause.

Since witches could no longer see their age expelling their "impurities" through natural channels, they did so through their eyes.

2 words game Sagaland

2 words game Sagaland

On 17/02/2023

 

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Sagaland!

While walking through the forest, players look at the magic items hidden under the trees and memorize them.

When the King asks for an object, you must go to the castle to announce that you have found it if you have seen this object and remember its location.

The player who announces the most items will win the game.

The game board represents the region of Sagaland. A village, from where the adventurers leave, a castle, where you have to bring your finds, and all around, a forest.

 

A course, made of round squares, allows you to survey the whole in order to reach the 13 fir trees which will have been previously placed in the locations provided for this purpose.

The 13 symbols on the cards correspond to those of the 13 trees planted in Sagaland.

The goal is to walk in the forest and try to find out under which trees the symbols are.

When you know where the item on the card currently on top of the deck is, you rush to the castle and announce it.

On his turn, the active player will roll the 2 6-sided dice and advance his pawn.

To move, you have to consider each of the dice separately and understand that you can move your pawn backwards or forwards, but always by the exact number of each dice.

To be clearer, once your dice are rolled, you choose which one to use for your first move.

You complete this movement, forwards or backwards.

You resolve what is happening once on your new space, then you move the exact number of dice you have left, and you resolve again what is happening on your space.

When you arrive on a space, with your first die, or the second, several things can happen:

- If it is occupied by an opponent, you send him back to the village.

- If you land on a blue square, you can discreetly look under the corresponding tree to memorize the symbol.

- If you are exactly on the "key" space of the castle, you can announce under which tree is the currently coveted object.

You then take the tree in question, you discreetly look under it.

If the symbol doesn't match the castle card, you replace the tree and crestfallen back to the village.

If the symbol corresponds to the castle card, you show it to your opponents, you proudly take the card, put it in front of you, and turn over the next one in order to have a new object to search for.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

An Italian knight is said to have stuck his sword in a rock in the 12th century.

 

Today, the sword can still be seen in Tuscany, but is it real? And was that the inspiration for Excalibur and the King Arthur saga?

The town of San Galgano bears the name of its knight, Galgano Guidotti, who lived there as a hermit during the last year of his life.

The story goes that his horse would take no orders from him and when he finally got on his horse he galloped straight to the top of Montesiepi.

Upon arriving in town, he stuck his sword he had used as a knight into a large stone up to the hilt as a symbol of ending his life as a knight.

The sword was actually deemed a fake, with some critics doubting its authenticity.

However, more recent studies from the University of Pavia have proven that the style, shape and material actually date back to the 12th century, between 1100 and 1200.

On 10/02/2023

 

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the Grail!

 

"Graal" is a discard game that is played over four rounds.

During the first three rounds, players attempt to win quests by playing cards from their hand one at a time and using the powers of their Legendary card.

To play a card, it must match the color or symbol of the card in play.

Some cards allow you to play again, draw a player, block a player, etc.

The first player to run out of cards wins the round and the quest card in play.

At any time during the game, if a player plays the Grail card, he can win the game instantly, if he manages to play it as his last card.

If you reach the fourth round, the Tournament, then the players compete until the last survivor: the player who has no more cards in his hand chooses the player to eliminate and takes his deck, until he only one remains.

A fun game with friends and family with accessible mechanics and twists and thrills guaranteed!

Hello everyone !

The lake under Strasbourg Cathedral.

 

Legend has it that a real lake, where you can take a boat ride, stretches all along the Cathedral.

And some have tried to enter it.

In 1681, a soldier of Louis XIV learned that a well gave access to the lake.

At the time, the well was located inside a dark den opposite the Cathedral.

For some, this well would be the “Kindelsbrunnen” (dwelling place of departed souls), a cavity where souls die.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Speed ​​Maps!

In a distant land, magical beings roam the Enchanted Paths: a fire-breathing dragon and a pure unicorn, a wise wizard and a brave knight, a cackling witch and a beautiful princess...

Help fairy tale characters find their way to each other. Fold the game board to connect creatures and objects.

To win, you must be the first to complete the task, so hurry up!

In the Speed ​​Maps board game, each player receives a special magic game board, which can be folded in 24 different ways. The object of the game is to fold your game board correctly and complete the task faster than other players.

Tasks differ in complexity.

There are 90 challenge cards in the game: 30 easy challenges and 60 hard challenges.

Challenge cards indicate the number of game characters that must be seen (or connected by paths) on a game board.

In order to complete an easy task, a player needs to fold the game board so that the required number of creatures or objects can be seen on one side of the board.

The difficult challenge requires that the game characters not only be seen from one side of the game board, but also connected by paths. The first player to correctly complete the task receives a card, as a reward.

The game ends as soon as a player collects 5 cards with completed tasks.

Play the game on both difficulty levels with your friends or alone.

Change the magical world of Speed ​​Maps to your liking and help fairy tale characters meet each other. Set new records and have fun with this fantastic board game!

Good day and good game ;)
