Hello everyone !
Canada owes its name to a Frenchman.
Canada owes its name to the French navigator Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), the first European to explore the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the surrounding lands.
In 1534, he left Saint-Malo, where he was born, landed in Gaspé, a city located in the very east of Canada, and took possession of it in the name of the King of France, François 1er.
A year later, Cartier asked directions from two Iroquoians, who then pointed him in the direction of “Kanata”.
In reality, they allude to the village of Stadacona, the current location of Quebec City.
For lack of another name, Cartier then uses the term “Canada” to designate this city and the surrounding territory.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Friend of the planet.
Aware that the smallest impact that we can have can be useful to the planet, a few obvious reflexes imposed themselves on me.
We turn off all devices that are not in use every lunchtime and evening: computers, printers, payment terminal, parcel terminal.
Standby being energy-intensive, we turn them off and only turn them back on when the store is open.
Everything is off as soon as we leave the store, including the sign and all the lights in the store!
These are small daily efforts that add to the reuse of our order boxes for orders made on the store's website or to create various decorations and displays.
All printing errors are used to make draft sheets.
We use reusable cartridges for the store's printers as well as recycled and recyclable paper.
Our gift wrap is kraft and therefore easily recyclable for reuse.
These are just small efforts, but they are so important for the planet and for us.

Stay vigilant and do not exceed the imposed playing area.
Chameleons can no longer find their way through the jungle!
To help them, get rid of all your cards to advance the chameleons from vine to vine, without exceeding the imposed playing area.

Hello everyone !
Products from the Americas.
Tomato, potato, squash, bean, corn, peanut, pepper, cocoa, vanilla, pineapple... turkey, all these products were unknown in Europe, Asia and Africa before the discovery of America in 1492, by Christopher Colombus.
Our food memory is very short.
It is often limited to flavors and products discovered in childhood.
If we make an effort, we go back to a "very distant past", that is to say only to the childhood memories of our grandparents.
This is why the cuisine of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century seems to us to be a cuisine that has always existed, the one that our ancestors have always eaten since "the dawn of time".
Most of us are then very surprised to learn that our famous local products are sometimes a recent invention on a historical scale.
Can you imagine Mediterranean cuisine without tomatoes or zucchini? Savoyard cuisine without potatoes? Indian cuisine without chilli? African cuisine without cassava?

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
The game, a timeless intergenerational tool.
When I was an animator for the town halls of Anjou, where I am from, I had the opportunity to lead a lot of intergenerational play time.
I am happy to be able to offer such moments again thanks to the store in Vaucluse.
Creating additional complicity between parents/grandparents and children is a reward worthy of the time spent on it.
The board game allows you to create unforgettable moments in the right atmosphere around a table.
Discovering a little more while playing is a moment that you keep with you.
Sharing a game as a family is also a way to get to know each other a little better.
Who is the most strategist? Who is the fastest ? Who is playing with whom?
And many more questions and discoveries that only games allow...
So to your games and good games ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Bohnanza!
In the game, you plant and then harvest bean cards in order to earn coins.
Each player starts with a hand of random bean cards, and each card has a number corresponding to the number of that type of bean in the game.
Unlike most other card games, you can't rearrange the order of cards in hand, so you must use them in the order you picked them up from the game - unless you can swap them with other players, which is the case.
During a turn, you must plant the first card or cards from your hand in the "fields" in front of you.
Each field can only contain one type of bean, so if you need to plant a type of bean that is not in one of your fields, you must harvest a field to make room for the new arrival.
This is generally not good!
Then you reveal two cards from the deck, and you can then trade those cards and any cards in your hand for cards from other players.
You can even make future promises for cards received right now!
Once all trades are complete - and all trades in a turn must involve the active player - you end your turn by drawing cards from the deck and placing them on the back of your hand.
When you harvest beans, you receive coins based on the number of bean cards in that field and the beanometer for that particular type of bean.
Flip 1-4 cards from this field to turn them into coins, then place the rest of the cards in the discard pile.
When the draw pile is depleted, shuffle the discard piles, replaying the draw pile two more times.
At the end of the game, everyone can harvest their fields, then whoever has earned the most coins wins.

Hello everyone !
The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France.
This monumental sculpture is one of the greatest symbols of the United States.
Proudly erected on Liberty Island in New York, it is known throughout the world.
But did you know that it had been offered to the Americans by the French people, as a token of friendship?
The iconic statue was built in France for 9 years before being unveiled to the public on October 28, 1886 to mark the centenary of the declaration of independence of the United States.
It was classified as a national monument in 1924 and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984.
Its official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World", or in French "La Liberté illuminant le monde".

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Create a link through board games.
Board games are an invaluable fun tool! In addition to providing an unforgettable moment of fun, they also often allow you to open up to others.
Whether this link is between parents, grandparents and their children or between friends or acquaintances, the game allows you to discover the other through common rules.
Since I've been hosting, I've noticed that the game allows you to listen to others, because you need other players to progress in the game together.
Cooperative games are not the only ones to allow this.
Developing thinking, speed and strategy, "board" games also allow everyone to share together.
We always enjoy sharing a game with family or friends.
Party game, strategy, family, children; there is something for all ages and all tastes and levels!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Sheepland! Sheepland is located on the beautiful island of the same name, where for centuries people have cared for sheep.
While inexplicably working in the same field, two to four shepherds try to move the sheep into the correct areas to score points.
During a turn, you must perform three actions, chosen from these possibilities:
- Move your Shepherd
- Move a sheep
- Buy a land tile
You must move your shepherd at least once during your turn, and you cannot perform the same action twice in a row without moving the shepherd between the two actions.
Six different types of terrain are available, with five tiles of each type and increasing costs (from 0 to 4 dinars).
When you buy a tile, you are not claiming land on the game board, but rather investing in that type of landscape because that is where you expect the sheep to eventually graze.
At the end of the game, you score 1 point per tile of a land type for each sheep in a region of that type; you also score for the coins still in hand.

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Playful heart: volunteering around games!
Every year we participate in various voluntary events in Vaucluse and Maine-et-Loire.
Different benevolent associations that are vital to the well-being of the public who benefit from them.
It's not much, but we offer our time and game donations.
Even if sometimes it's not much for us, it can mean great things for the people who receive them...
Promoting hobbies and seeing a smile appear on the faces of these people with a big heart is magical.
Surrounded by other volunteers with a big heart, it's always a pleasure too.
For the sake of the respect and discretion demanded by these associations with a big heart, we will just tell you that we have some of them particularly at heart.
The associations dedicated to children remain the ones that touch us the most...
Making a sad child smile gives you eternal magic in your heart...
I take this opportunity to thank once again all the volunteers who are the heart of these magnificent associations!

Hello everyone !
The Okanagans.
The Okanagan (in Canada) or Okanogan (in the United States), are a population of Native Americans whose territory of origin extends on both sides of the border between the State of Washington in the United States and the province of British Columbia in Canada.
In their own language the Okanagan call themselves “Syilx”, they are part of the ethnological and linguistic groups called “Interior Salish”.
The traditional territory of the Okanagan people covers an area of approximately 69,000 km2.
Its northern boundary is near Mica Creek, just north of the city of Revelstoke, while it is bounded on the east by Kootenay Lake.
The southern boundary is near Wilbur, Washington, and the western boundary is the Nicola region.
In the United States, the Okanagan population is organized in an official structure called the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation whose constitutional texts were approved by the American federal government on February 26, 1938.

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Animate to inspire, lead someone to discover and discover themselves.
Animation is always a pleasure for me.
Sharing good times with my players is essential and rewarding every time.
Beyond sharing and exchanging around games, I have seen that the game can have a soothing or stimulating effect depending on the players.
I have seen many players who have become more comfortable with other players over time.
Offering a moment of relaxation and complicity, the games animations are attentive to all profiles.
Shy or more extroverted, I have seen players open up more easily to others and make friends during the game time that I host.
Stimulating for some players who have interactions that allow them to gain confidence in others and to open up to others and help others to open up as well.
Beyond just a shared game, it is a real exchange and sharing of every moment.
Thank you to my players for all our shared moments and each one all unique!

Hop!
Little greedy rabbit that you are, you are trying to harvest as many carrots as possible.
Gather your harvest hoping it will be enough to satiate you.
Roll the dice and move forward on the corresponding color.
Collect the indicated number of carrots to have the most all together at the end of the game.
Happy Bunny is a cooperative game where you must all together collect as many carrots as possible before the rabbit leaves the vegetable garden!
Happy Bunny allows the little ones to start learning about board games through cooperative play.
The recognition of colors and the simple learning of calculation by adding collected carrots allow them to discover board games gently by following a little rabbit.

Hello everyone !
The cemetery town of Colma has more dead than alive.
Located in the suburbs of San Francisco, the city of Colma is nicknamed "City of the Dead", "City of Souls" or "City of the Silent".
With chilling names like these, some explanation is in order, isn't it?
At the end of the 19th century, the gold rush rapidly increased the number of inhabitants of San Francisco and the population greatly feared the spread of contagious diseases, such as cholera.
The city's board of supervisors, concerned about lack of space and public health, voted to ban burials within city limits in the early 1900s.
Ten years later, the decision to exhume the corpses and transport them elsewhere was taken.
Therefore, the small municipality of Colma was officially created in 1924 to serve as a necropolis.
Today, there are 17 cemeteries in the small town where the number of buried bodies is a thousand times higher than the number of inhabitants.
No wonder the city's slogan is "It's great to be alive in Colma"!

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Find your child's soul through board games.
Board games are an interesting hobby for children, but not only…
During my times of animation with retirees, the playful interest is also there.
Not having always had the opportunity to play before or having stopped for a while, they find the pleasure of playing together.
Sharing a moment around a game allows them to discover games unknown to them until then.
Curious and motivated to play, discovering new games does not scare them.
Allowing them to find varied interests is very interesting for us.
Particularly fond of chatting about games, these moments of discovery and sharing allow us a respite in sometimes very full days.
Many have found friends with other players, creating or recreating a bond between them.
Some even confessed to having “rediscovered their child’s soul” by playing during our playtime.
What a pleasure to share his passion with our players, young and old on a daily basis.
Thank you all for sharing the fun adventure with us!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Fabulosa Fructus!
Once upon a time there was a marvelous forest that was full of sumptuous fruits, the juices of which could be mixed to obtain delicious cocktails.
In search of the tastiest fruits, friendly inhabitants of the forest will help you in this quest by giving or trading them to you.
Greedy and thirsty, will you be the first to get your Fabulosa juices?
Fabulosa Fructus is a game with constantly evolving mechanics. The game begins with a relatively simple initial rule.
But as you play games, the mechanics and your gaming experience evolve.
This is the hallmark of games in the Fabulosa range.
However, unlike a "Legacy" type game, these changes are never final.

Reuniting a work team through games.
As part of our outdoor activities, we offer team cohesion workshops via games.

Well beyond just a game, the team cohesion workshop allows you to challenge a team to help it become aware of its weak points and give it ways to overcome them.
In a beneficial atmosphere, the game then serves to show what is not coherent and needs to be addressed to improve cohesion within the team.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Bison!
Will the chief of the tribe manage to save his village with the help of his four dogs?
Otherwise the bison will cross the river... and win this game of chess!
Aim of the game:
The two players have a different aim:
The player controlling the bison seeks to bring one of his animals to the other side of the board.
The goal of the other player is to succeed in preventing them from passing by catching them with his Indian chief or by stopping them with his dogs.
Rules of the game:
Place the 11 bison on one side of the board, in a straight line behind one of the rivers and, just in front of the other river, place the Indian chief with his dogs on either side.
The bison advance like pawns in chess, the dogs like checkers but cannot take bison, and the Indian chief like a king, he can take bison.
The bison begin...

Hello everyone !
The one that many also call the "California Dream Highway" runs very close to the Pacific Ocean, which gives way to absolutely magnificent panoramas.
The most impressive section is the one that crosses the Big Sur region from Monterey to Lucia.
Less than 30 kilometers from Monterey is the Bixby Creek Bridge.
Rightly so, it is the icon of this scenic drive and one of California's iconic places.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
A playful and stimulating return to school through games!
That's it, school has started again! Good luck for the recovery !
The board game allows you to find a framework with rules while having fun.
The rules of the game, adopted by young and old, allow to play on an equal footing.
One can also tease his parents or his children within the framework of the game by stealing victory points from him or subtly blocking him.
Back to school is a good opportunity to find moments of complicity after lessons.
Playing as a family allows children to find bearings and learn to follow rules, from the simplest to the most complicated.
Game of speed, atmosphere or reflection, the moments spent around the games remain engraved in the memory of young and old alike.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Little Factory!
Little Factory, first released as Goods Maker, is a resource management and building construction card game for 2-4 players with a playtime of approximately 30 minutes.
Players increase their assets by processing resources into other resources, such as processing wood into wood or charcoal, or processing charcoal and flour into bread.
If you increase your assets, you can build a building and use that building to acquire resources and victory points faster.
The more buildings players construct, the more actions are available in subsequent turns.
In turn, players perform one of two actions:
Production: choose a resource card or a building card in the production action area and gain the item indicated there; Where,
Trade: Discard resource cards from your hand to acquire resource or building cards of the same value or less from the available cards.
Additionally, players may use the effects of each building they own once per turn (including the turn in which they were acquired).
An example of a building effect is: exchanging a thread card in hand for an available cloth in the playing area.
Chain cards, buildings and actions together to create more victory points.
The player who collects more than 10 victory points first wins!
Check out the game description and video below.

Indian Summer
When it appeared in the United States, probably at the end of the 18th century, it referred to a peculiarity of the continental climate of North America.
This peculiarity occurs in Canada and the United States, between the beginning of October and mid-November.
The Indian summer corresponds to a period of surprisingly mild weather for the season and which arrives after an initial period of frost.
If the nights remain cool and the mornings misty, the daytime weather is then mild, sunny and dry.
Temperatures are at least 5°C higher than normal for the season and can exceed, sometimes briskly, 25°C.
The Indian summer can last between 3 and 8 days.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
The game world
The game world is a world where playfulness rules!
Even if the classics are always a great success, the world of gaming is constantly evolving.
Game publishers, often avid gamers, tend to offer an increasingly varied selection of games.
There is something for all tastes, all themes, all ages, all players...
The professionalization of the game world allows the production of more and more developed games.
Prizes such as the As d'Or, the Spiel des Jahres or the Double 6 (to name a few) are signs of recognition of the rise of board games in our lives.
Good news for the gamists that we are, the board game will continue to accompany us for some time...
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Mad Trip!
Guided by his neighbour, each player has thirty seconds to get out of this cursed forest.
The further you go, the more you fall into new traps that you will have to avoid on the next attempt: take out the knife in front of the cobwebs, pinch your nose to cross the river, throw a bone to ward off the wolf...
Anyone who gets lost or falls into a trap must start over from where they started.
And at the end of the allotted time, it's up to the next one to try their luck.
Keep your cool and memorize your route so you won't make mistakes when it's your turn!
The first who manages to get out of the forest returns home and wins the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
The game at work.
When I was a facilitator for the city of Angers, I participated with my fellow facilitators in a “group cohesion” workshop.
We participated in a workshop with board games with successive challenges that required collaboration between the facilitators to succeed.
Based on this excellent idea of a Team building workshop, we now offer workshops aimed at companies with the aim of creating cohesion within teams.
Cohesion in a team is not an innate thing.
Board games offer an original and different approach to the usual team building.
The discovery and the expectations they create make it possible to grope on more slippery ground in a team.
By dint of groping, we end up putting our finger on things that we would not have paid attention to in normal times.
A good progress indicator for a work team and ways to achieve common goals.
PS: In Angers, we were a close-knit team and passed the tests easily. It helps to know the strengths and weaknesses of your colleagues to progress together in a team spirit... ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Mission Scorpio!
It's too late. In the year 2059 the degradation of the climate on Earth has become irreversible.
Scientists have demonstrated that in 2122 the Earth will no longer be habitable for any living species.
Man, victim of his past mistakes, must find a solution for the survival of his species.
He then begins his most gigantic and most altruistic enterprise: to organize during the next half-century the exodus towards other sites of the solar system for his great-grandchildren whom he will very probably never know.
Any group of humans from 2 to 6 people aged 12 or over can participate.
During the game, players prepare missions to reach the stars of the solar system. T
hey take advantage of the powers they have acquired and try to avoid events that could lead to the delay or dismantling of their missions.
They gradually build bases on these stars in order to colonize the solar system and take the strategic positions that bring them the most victory points.
