Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
The game for super grown-ups!
The board game can be a very useful tool for children of all ages!
Many people working with children use board games as a learning aid or to stimulate children.
Whether it is for fine motor skills, memory, observation or the development of a simple strategy, the board game allows you to progress while having fun.
More and more board game publishers are adapting their range of games to offer a wide range of varied games to children according to their age.
And then when children see adults playing, very often they want to play like them and with them.
It is a way of stimulating their curiosity and awakening them to exchange through complicity with adults and common rules.
Often quite fast for children, play allows them to express and manage their emotions.
Indeed, managing frustration in defeat or remaining humble in victory is not easy at certain ages.
On an equal footing with adults during the game, the rules ensure the child's confidence and self-esteem.
So for the super-big, a little game to start, it's already good to learn about board games. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Oceanos!
Players will explore the ocean floor while developing their submarines in three rounds that represent different levels of depth.
The more powerful the submarine, the more victory points it will bring.
During a round, everyone must choose between the short term (exploring the seabed) or the long term (developing their submarine).
There are two ways to earn points: – either catch fish within the limits of the aquarium's capacities, collect corals in order to create a long coral reef, or recover treasures with the help of divers. – or improve his submarine to increase his capacities.
Indeed, like a puzzle, the submarine is made up of several parts (the periscope, the cockpit, the tank, the rudder, etc.) that we will be able to assemble.
Each part of the submarine can be improved: you can cover more distance with a more powerful engine, collect more fish in a larger aquarium, receive more cards with a larger periscope, collect more treasures with more divers...
Each player thus experiences a certain pleasure in watching his submarine grow...
Good day and good game ;)

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Sharing together.
During outdoor entertainment times, we offer various and varied play times.
The habit of the game is taken little by little for novice players.
But from the moment you are curious to discover games, then you can manage to play and have fun as certain game mechanics are understood.
Novice players or connoisseurs, the discovery of a new game is not innate... for anyone...
The first parts of a game can be more or less laborious, whatever the level of the player.
It's brand new, it's all beautiful, it stimulates the brain! ;)
It's probably easier to adapt to a game when you've been playing it for a while, but everyone who discovers a game needs to play it to understand it better.
So, don't stress if you feel a bit lost at the beginning, we've all been in this case and we all always face a new game a bit. ;)
The main thing in the end is to share together! ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone ! Here is our play with thought of the day!
"Travel with two bags, one to give, the other to receive"
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German novelist, playwright and poet.
Good day and good game ;)

On 12/08/2022
Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Picturally!
Each player will embody a tourist eager for a nice trip. He will receive his passport on which are registered his two centers of interest, out of the five in the game.
It is by visiting places that belong to these two families and only those that he will be able to score the precious Souvenir points.
Each player around the table will also have chosen a passport with a different combination of interests. At the start of the game, the tourists will agree on the route they will have to follow by successively placing step markers on the board as they see fit.
Thus are materialized the departure, the intermediate stages, and the arrival of the journey. All players must imperatively end their game turn having reached the next stage. But during their turn, it's free time! During their turn, they will be able to move around as they please to visit places that interest them.
They can therefore either visit the places directly listed on the board and visible/known to everyone (which earn decreasing bonus points for the first to stop there!), or by visiting the places that they are the only ones to know because indicated by the cards in their hand which they have drawn from their tourist guide or at a local tourist office and which others therefore cannot see, either (optional rules), by meeting local people who will advise you on a last category of places. (But this is another story).
Each way of knowing a place has its advantages and disadvantages! They will therefore chain the days of travel and try in the allotted time, without getting late, to score the most Souvenir points, to be the one who will have the most at the end of the last stage and be the winner.
But there are four major subtleties that add spice to the game: First: any action (moving or visiting) will gradually lower Curiosity (the gauge visible on the player's passport). You cannot have more cards than Curiosity points in your hand. Otherwise, we must reveal the excess cards by putting them on the edge of the board face up and placing a cube of the color of the card in the box of the board where it is attached (it serves as a reminder, in short) .
Any other interested player can suddenly, in turn, take advantage of the places that the player had jealously kept in his hand for his own profit a few moments earlier, and score the points in his place (after which, the card is withdrawn and will therefore no longer benefit the player who discarded it).
Second: at the end of each stage, players regain Curiosity points to attack the next day, and renew their hand by drawing again. They may end up with cards that do not match their interests and can then trade them for cards from other players.
But this exchange phase opens the door wide to bluffing! We only have the right to indicate to the other the general (and approximate) geographical area where the card is located, and the family of interest associated with it.
Everyone is free to dangle the other that he will give him gold bars when it is a crap, in the hope that the naive gives you the card of your dreams. We need others, but at the same time, it would be a shame if they won in our place...
Third: bonus Souvenir points are offered to those who end their day with zero Curiosity (the satisfaction of a busy day). We can see from here the optimization of the route… (“idiot” trips are obviously prohibited)
Fourth (it was easy): the turn order is determined by decreasing Curiosity, but the problem is that as you have understood everything, it decreases over the course of our visits when our Souvenir points go up!
Combined with the previous rules points, we realize that, if we push it, the game can become one hell of a basket of crabs!
We know who is playing before us, after us, what he likes, we see the cards that the players had to reveal previously and on which everyone risks rushing, the same goes for the places listed on the board, we know where everyone will end up at the end of the round, how many Curiosity points each one has left…
The winner will therefore be the one who has both scored the maximum number of points…but who has also left a minimum of gifts for others!
The icing on the crate, you can play it in teams of 2. Either by managing the two tourists yourself, or with a real player behind each tourist.
In which case, the two traveling companions are two in the same car, with their common points and their divergent interests...
Good day and good game ;)

The game: a state of mind
In the fun world of board games, we are lucky to meet a majority of passionate gamers.
The players, incorrigible gamists since the beginning or new recruits, all share the same passion.
Whether you are a beginner or a connoisseur, the board game when you get started and you like it, you don't know when it stops...
We enter without taking the lead (well yes, I admit a little anyway with the rules of certain games at the beginning ^^) and we immediately try to share our favorites with our loved ones.
For gamists who have always played, expert games allow you to take your mind and develop very advanced strategies...
But it is possible for us to adapt to any type of game to share a good time with other players. And yes, because above all, we like to play ;)
For the gamists who have joined us and will continue to join us in the gaming world, the variety of games is such that we will certainly find you the games that will keep you playing... and who knows, maybe not anymoren stop, like us. ;)
Even children have games that correspond to each age group and the daily amusements they need.
In short, the board game is a state of mind where we are ready to welcome you...
Above all, we share above all the pleasure of playing together. ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Otys!
Middle of the 22nd century, after 300 years of unconsciousness, the rising waters engulfed the last emerged lands.
Fighting for their lives, the colonies of the survivors must stay above sea level.
You live in the colony of Otys and you must recover the debris of past civilizations from the depths to build the future of humanity.
Your team of divers is trained to bring up the most useful materials remaining in the depths.
You must use them wisely to fulfill the contracts offered by the Colony and thus obtain more notoriety than your suitors.
Your divers are at different depths; it's up to you to best match their special abilities with the bonuses offered by the Colony.
But beware!
Your diver's oxygen is limited, and as soon as he has accomplished his mission, he must return to the surface.
Try to manage all the parameters of your team in a profitable way, so the Colony will reward you more than the others!
Optimize your game to match your divers' depth, special abilities, and colony bonuses.
This is how you will provide the best contracts and win.
The future is built on the past...
In Otys, each player has a team of divers and must use them to perform actions, collect items and complete objectives.
Divers are stacked in a column on the player's individual game board, and some of them are next to depth gauges that read 1-5.
On their turn, a player chooses an available depth gauge on their individual board, then performs the action at that same depth on the shared game board, then performs the action for their diver at that depth.
Then that diver rises to the surface, pushing all the other divers in the queue.
This depth gauge is placed at the bottom of the player board, and they return to the player board to be chosen again only when that player's gauge meter is full.
Initially, a player must play all six gauges before recovering any, but they can upgrade their meter so that it takes fewer gauges to fill, giving them more choices for their actions.
As divers obtain items, those items are kept at the appropriate depth on a player's board, and when a player has the needed items together at the same depth, they can claim one of shared objectives revealed on the table or one of his personal objectives.
Players race to score 18 points first to win the game.

Ludo partners
Since the beginning of the store, we have started working with toy libraries and ludobuses.
We do our best to try to be a player in the playful world on our small shop scale...
Contributing to providing games for toy libraries and ludobuses allows us to discover "fashionable" games, but not only...
Many independent publishers go through small shops like us to test and introduce their games to the public.
But we don't just provide games to our partners, sometimes moments of game animations slip in here and there ;)
Who says games from small publishers, says discovery of fun nuggets for you to discover ourselves!
So we sacrifice ourselves, and we play the game to make you discover less known and interesting games. ;)
You may have tried it in the nearest toy library or the mobile toy bus that passed by your house...
If the gaming world has reached you, then we are delighted. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Chawaï!
Each round in Miaui, players choose one of the cards in their hand - and everyone starts the game with the same cards numbered 1-12 - to show how deep they dive in hopes of catching the best fish.
All kinds of fish are served at the feast but watch out for slimy jellyfish and thieving seagulls.
In more detail, three cards are laid out from the capture game from the surface of the water to the depths.
Each player chooses a card and plays them simultaneously.
Whoever plays the highest card dives deepest and catches the card at the bottom of the lake, while the next highest card catches the card just above.
Whoever played the lowest card gets what's on the surface.
Sometimes that's not good because jellyfish cost you points and seagulls steal your last catch.
May the best diver win!
Good day and good game ;)

« To play is to experience chance. » Novalis.
Playing board games is giving yourself a moment out of time.
Board games allow you to share a moment of complicity where everyone, young and old, follows the same rules.
From the simplest game to the most complex game, the objective is the same: to have a good time.
Board games have various benefits: stimulate memory, promote concentration, develop a logical mind, manage emotions, explore creativity or enrich knowledge (among many others)…
Special moments of sharing, to strengthen social or family ties, to promote self-esteem and get out of shyness.
Whether confrontational, collaborative or other games, board games allow you to create a bond with other players.
That's why we like to make you discover the games and play them with you ;)
Good day and good game ;)

"Great trips have this marvelous feature that their enchantment begins even before departure. We open atlases, we dream on maps. We repeat the magnificent names of unknown cities"
Joseph Kessel, French novelist.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Venice!
We are going on a trip to Italy. After visiting Rome, the capital, we stop in Venice. It's carnival time.
This city, rich in art and history, is fascinating for its architecture. Buildings and streets intertwine with maritime canals.
We walk along these canals, we cross them on small bridges. Suddenly a masked lady calls out to us:
Hello, would you like to participate in the race for precious stones which is played on these pilings, in the middle of the canal? We accept her proposal.
You each represent a color and have 4 precious stones to collect: rubies for red, diamonds for white, emeralds for green and topazes for yellow.
You have a stock of boards that will allow you to go from stilts to stilts. To reach the gems, you have to find the best path in this maze.
For this, you play cards. They allow you to lay, remove, move boards and also to move forward 1, 2 or 3 steps.
You can take advantage of the boards laid by your opponents to go faster.
You'll have to keep an eye on them, they might pull some planks out from under your nose.
When you arrive on the space where one of your stones is, take it and place it on your tent, then continue your turn.
Play cards within the limit of 4 hourglasses or take a joker card. Then draw 2 cards.
If you have more than 8 cards in your hand, discard those of your choice.
Place them on the space as well as the cards played face up. When there are no more cards in the draw pile, shuffle the ones already played to form a new one.
When you collect one of your gems, you win an hourglass tile. It can be played immediately or during a future turn, it is cumulative.
On the turn you use hourglass tiles, you can play cards up to a limit of 4 hourglasses + 1 per tile.
During your turn, you can also exchange 4 cards of your choice for a joker that.
This is particularly useful when you need a specific card or when you end your game turn with more than 8 cards.
The game is won by the player who first collects the 4 gems of his color.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Regarding parcels, 3 cases arise:
1/ You come to drop off a parcel
You will not need ID (except for an exchange).
You will just need a readable shipping label so that the PDA can record the deposit of your package and ensure its tracking.
You can also use Chronopost's Shop 2 Shop service, which offers to pay the postage of parcels online and have your parcel forwarded from one Pick Up point to another.
You can then come and drop off your Shop 2 Shop shipment.
The shipping label can be replaced by a relay label with the barcode received in a separate email.
For a cancellation, you will have to print and stick the part of the label with the barcode on the closed package and present the part with the date to us so that we can stamp it for you to provide proof of deposit.
2/ You come to pick up a package:
To collect parcels with or without Pick Up Pass (which only replaces your signature), you will need:
1/Your identity document (permit, passport, residence permit, identity card) to collect your package.
2/To withdraw it for another person, HIS or HER ID and YOUR ID.
3/ You come to exchange your Internet equipment or a telephone.
For the exchange of equipment from Internet or telephone providers, your package must be wrapped and in a box, because we only put a return label on the box you have prepared.
The box of equipment sent to you by your supplier cannot be opened and used to return the equipment you are returning.
NB: The Orange supplier is the only supplier where you will not need a box for the return.
The box in which your new equipment is sent is used for the return of the old one.
Withdrawals or exchanges of parcels, identity documents are MANDATORY!
Why ?
Because it secures the withdrawal of the package.
If one day your parcel is collected by a person who does not have to take it, the relay which has not checked the identity documents is responsible.
However, it is not necessary to present the following documents:
- Physical threats and various blackmails.
"I'm going to give you a bad rating on google. »
“I'm going to talk about you and your store badly and believe me everyone will know about it. »
Thank you to the 95% of customers who come to pick up packages with respect and understanding that this rule is there FOR them and not AGAINST them.

Ludo’Entertainer
Throughout my decade of animation with children and teenagers, I also led animations for toy libraries and toy buses.
The intergenerational activities that I led for different organizations, allowed me to transmit part of my playful passion to a large number.
In Angers, where I come from, we ran workshops called “Pied 2 Bat”.
Like other animators, I went to the bottom of partner buildings and offered different games and activities to children in surrounding buildings.
“Anim’ ta cité” is a time of collective creations and local actions which also allowed me to get out of my comfort zone.
Always ready to offer activities and entertainment that bring people together, these experiences have really enriched me.
This is why when creating the store in Vaison, Joue le Jeu was not only dedicated to selling games!
Because the board game animation part is a way for me to convey my passion and share the pleasure of the game.
Coming to you to make you play and play with you was a no-brainer!

"A trip needs no motive. It doesn't take long to prove that it is self-sufficient. We think we are going to take a trip but soon it is the trip that makes or breaks you"

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Kokomots!
The goal of the game is to find as many words as possible in well-defined themes using at least one letter from our hand and one letter from the board corresponding to this theme.
All in a limited time, of course.
Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. We each take our turn.
The rule advises us to designate a player in charge of the hourglass and another in charge of being “judge” to verify that the words found correspond to the theme and that the conditions are respected if there are any.
Once the hourglass has started (45 seconds), try to find as many words as possible related to the theme.
Only one constraint, but it is significant: each word must contain a letter from a card in our hand, but also from a card present on the playing area, under the theme concerned.
So I pick up the three cards, a new theme will appear and a new letter also in the corresponding column and pile.
And so on, until the hourglass time is up, which is 45 seconds.
If no words are found, the player has the right to exchange his entire hand (3 cards) for new cards, but only once during his turn.
As mentioned, some cards are only playable by fulfilling a condition that they clearly state.
For example, they must be the first, second or last letter of the word.
They can also force the player to spell the word they just found, before it can be validated.
The good news is that these cards are worth more points than the others, and will undoubtedly make the difference at the end of the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Years of animation
21 years ago, I started to animate in a playtime association.
Having started playing games at the age of 3, when I was asked at 14 to lead a game time with other teenagers like me and for children, I did it quite naturally.
After my studies and having worked in commerce to finance them, I returned to animation to make it my definitive profession at the age of 24.
So I've been hosting officially for 11 years and unofficially for 21 years ;)
I never lost this desire to make people play and share my passion for games with as many people as possible.
Also around a game, “the more the merrier”.
So don't hesitate to come and continue to share the playful madness with us. ;)
And thank you for all our fun moments shared!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Loops!
Settle into the cockpit and take off for an uncontrolled adventure...
In LOOPS, players fly the same plane together, taking turns controlling its altitude and direction.
Keep the right cards in hand and trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane.
The players take turns placing an altitude card (or several if they are identical), respecting 2 conditions:
- A direction: to the right or to the left (indicates the order in which the players located around the table must play)
- An attitude: positive or negative (indicates whether the altitude of the aircraft must increase or decrease).
When a player cannot place any card during his turn, he recovers all the cards placed on the table.
Keep the right cards in hand to never be blocked.
Trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane using special cards.
Be the first to run out of cards to win the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
United States: the disappearance of a lake
Have you ever heard of Lost Lake?
A lake in the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon, it completely empties each spring and fills up again in the winter.
A park spokesperson explained that the water is sucked up through a lava tunnel.
It is then necessary to wait for the winter season so that the river fills up again.
Intrigued by this phenomenon, several people would have tried to illegally plug the hole in Lost Lake.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
PIL or Face?
At one point, two opportunities presented themselves to me: to take up an interesting job in animation or to open a board game store…
Face, animation is a job that is also a passion!
A job that allowed me to rub shoulders with other great animators with whom I was able to forge solid experience in different types of activities…
Activities that have allowed children from 2 to 85 years old to share moments together, to listen to each other and to marvel.
PIL, Passion + Idea + Local, the perfect combo to turn a passion into a job!
A passion that makes everyday life more fun and friendly. Sharing it with you is just the icing on the cake.
An idea not only to sell games, but to ensure that the game is a shared moment.
A place that allows you to discover fun nuggets, but a name that is not limited to the local and is also exported to outdoor activities.
PIL or Face, although Face suited me very well too, PIL suited me even better!
PIL allows me to share my playful passion with you all.
So thank you for being at the playful rendezvous!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Oro del oro!
Lost at sea or hidden on the islands, many pirates have left their booty there.
Be smart, plan your route wisely and find their treasures.
Each player has 3 tiles face up in front of them and in turn must place one of their tiles to hold the treasure map, but it must match the rest of the tiles already placed.
You gain 1 coin each time you place a tile, then you draw a new tile.
Some tiles have a special power:
- Treasure Chest - earns you 1 extra coin based on how many tiles it touches when you place it.
- Hurricane - allows you to switch between players (including yourself) as many tiles as your tile touches on the board.
- Parrot - allows you to become the captain. The captain cannot be attacked and chooses in the event of a tie at the end of the game who wins.
- Fight - allows you to steal from another player (except the captain) as many coins as your tile touches other tiles on the board.
If during your turn you cannot play one of your tiles, you can discard the last tile and so on, paying 1 coin for each discarded tile.
The game ends when there are no more tiles to draw after playing one.
The winner is whoever has the most gold at the end of the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Birthday Lud
The store's anniversary is an opportunity to thank all our customers, young and old alike!
On this occasion, we offer you an online game and in-store discounts.
Even if, for reasons of space, we have to choose a handful of players among our loyal customers for the anniversary in store, the game is there.
After a little snack and a little drink (yes, you have to enjoy it, it's a party all the same! ;)), we play the game!
The last anniversary in store allowed our players to meet and create playful friendships!
A good complicity and good moments of laughter settled among the strategic and playful moments...
The store's anniversary is a way to thank you and share our passion with you!
So thank you all for these 4 wonderful first years and we will do everything to share as much as possible with you ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Master Islands!
It's about getting 8 cards to win.
To do this, you must align the cards horizontally, vertically or diagonally so that they have a value of 10.
It may sound easy, but it's not that easy.
Everyone participates in the discovery of all these new islands, suddenly, if you have accidentally left an interesting small island on the table, the other players can take advantage of it!
Each in turn, you have 2 mandatory actions to perform in the order of your choice.
Move your ship to an adjacent card or place a card horizontally or vertically adjacent to the ship you moved.
Well, precisely, how do you recover your famous cards?
To retrieve them, 3 conditions are required: that their value is exactly 10, that they are located on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line and that there is no boat on them.
You don't need your maps to be side by side, this sometimes creates holes in island mapping.
You can therefore only collect cards once per turn.
Who will be the master of the islands?
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Enchanted Christmas and Brico’ Recup’
Every Sunday in December before Christmas, we offer free Enchanted Christmas workshops for children.
During 30-minute slots, children can discover board games or make Christmas decorations with us.
A time for discussion and creativity, the Enchanted Christmas workshops allow children to flourish...
Having hosted a “Brico’ Récup’” workshop for years, my goal was to make children aware of recycling and the environment.
We made unique and original creations from everyday objects by giving them a second life.
Brico’ Récup’ workshops that I continue to lead with children and teenagers to create decorative objects, furniture or even games and give them a second life.
We can't imagine all that we can achieve with recycled objects or everyday life!
During our manual workshops of the year and Enchanted Christmas, we try as much as possible to make use of materials and objects that would have ended up in the trash when they were far from being able to go there.
In addition to the ecological gesture, children and teenagers are happy to have a personalized object that they have made themselves.
Small gestures don't matter much, but it's these little things that make a big difference.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Istanbul!
There is a bustle in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar as merchants and their assistants rush through the narrow alleys in their bid to outsell their competitors.
Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods in the warehouses, then quickly transported by the assistants to various destinations.
Your goal?
Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.
In Istanbul, you lead a party of a merchant and four assistants through 16 bazaar locations.
At each of these locations, you can perform a specific action.
The challenge, however, is that in order to take action, you have to move your merchant and an assistant there, and then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on more important matters).
If you want to use this helper again later, your trader must return to this location to pick it up.
Thus, you must plan carefully in advance to avoid finding yourself without assistants and therefore unable to do anything...
In more detail, on a turn, you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant there, or pick up an assistant left earlier, then perform the action .
If you meet other traders or certain people there, you may be able to take a little extra action.
Possible actions include:
-Pay to increase the capacity of your wheelbarrow, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.
-Fill your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.
-Acquire a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.
-Buy rubies or exchange goods for rubies.
-Sell special combinations of goods to earn the money you need to do everything else.
When a merchant has collected five rubies in their wheelbarrow, players end that turn, then the game ends.
If this player is the only one to have achieved this objective, he wins immediately; otherwise, the ties are severed by the money in hand.
Good day and good game ;)
