Hello everybody !

Today I offer you a quote on games:

"Life is a card game where the heart is never an asset."

Marcel Achard, Artist, writer (1899 - 1974).

What do you think ?

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello everyone!

Today we are going to talk about "Fantasy".

You are the little people of the forest and must become master of it.

The more creatures you have before your cards in hand (always 7) and the draw pile run out, the more chance you have of winning.

To do this, use the powers of each of your characters to put your peoples on the table, steal cards from your hands or from your opponents on the table.

Who will be the master of the forest?

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everybody !

Today, we play with a charade still in the theme of board games.

My first is a device that makes air.

My third is a blemish facial.

Last Thursday it was about monopoly.

Hello everyone! Happy children's day;)

In the USA, more Monopoly tickets are printed every year than real dollars!

US board game publisher Parker Brothers, best known for its Monopoly, said it prints about $ 30 billion in play money each year that is used to play Monopoly.

Have a lovely day everybody!

Good morning all!

Hello everyone!

Here is a quote from Novalis, what do you think?

"To play is to experience chance"

Have a nice weekend everyone! ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we have chosen to tell you about the game "Once upon a time".

This card game is about telling a story together or against others. At the start of the game, we designate a player who will play the role of the storyteller.

The storyteller will place these cards one by one, detailing his story around the card he is placing.

If one of your cards looks like or comes close to what the storyteller says, you can become a storyteller yourself by putting down a card and continuing the story.

The object of the game will be to put down all these event cards, characters and his end card to win the game.

A variation for the younger ones could be to create a story together by taking turns placing a card to continue the story, always detailing the word on the card.

Here you know everything about "Once upon a time".

See you next Friday for the next game explanation.

Have a good weekend, good stories and above all a good game;)

In all card games, the kings presented by the letter K for King feature four of the greatest kings in history:

Heart: Charlemagne, or Charles I said "the Great", Emperor of the West.

Clover: Alexander the Great or Alexander III of Macedon, he became one of the greatest conquerors in history. He made his small kingdom the ruler of the immense Achaemenid Persian Empire.

Carreau: Julius Caesar, Roman general with an exceptional destiny who marked the Roman world and universal history.

Spades: King David, warrior and religious figure, He is known to have defeated the giant Goliath using his slingshot.

The dice owes its name to the Latin "datura" which means "given by lot".

2400 years BC the first dice were found in the Indus Valley (present-day Pakistan).

The Indians were the first dice players.

The earliest traces of their ancestors the knucklebones date from ancient Egypt.

Found in the tombs, they were used as amulets and for divination.

The ossicle never stabilizes on the rounded faces but on the 4 flat faces (where the numbers are put).

In ancient times, four bones were thrown at a time and the total was counted.

The first pipé ossicle dates from the medieval period when it was filed and sealed.

The games of throwing and the games of chance were the two dice games played by the Romans.

Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon without permission used the expression "alea jacta est" literally "the die is cast".

The Greek Palamedes and his troops played dice during the siege of Troy.

They appear in France around the 12th century at the time of chivalry.

In some cities there are even “Scholae Deciorum” or Dice Game Academies.

If I say leaf game or mamelukes, does that mean anything to you?

You certainly know their descendants the playing cards.

The playing cards were born thanks to a derivative of the Indian divinatory dice.

Between 618 and 907 Princess Tongchang then played the leaf game with her in-laws.

As early as the 11th century, Mongolian merchants from Asia reportedly brought them back to Europe along with silk.

It was also in the 14th century that they could have entered via Venice through the Egyptian Mamluk.

This 52-card deck is the one that most closely resembles our current deck.

Progress in printing facilitates their distribution throughout Europe and operates in 4 series (heart, bell, leaf, acorn in Germany; sword, stick, cup and coin in Spain and Italy).

The game that eventually became the "standard" is the French game as we know it with its clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades.

It was only during the French Revolution that the ace became stronger than the king to signify the power of the people over the king.

Jokers were not introduced until the end of the 19th century.

Did you know that the king of diamonds is inspired by Julius Caesar and the jack of clubs Lancelot du Lac?

The more popular toys and games became, the more new games were created.

In 1638, the first casino opened in Venice on the grand canal.

It still exists today.

Created with a desire to learn more about antique dice and card games, we can say that the bet is fulfilled.

The rise of printing contributed to the birth and development of card games.

In 1370, the first card game was born.

They are in oval shapes and do not look the same as our current games.

The first board games and more modern card games arrive at the end of the 19th-early 20th century.

In 1890, the Whist gave way to bridge.

La Belotte was created in 1914 by Mr. Belot who himself established the first rules.

The first monopoly appeared in 1935 and was popularized much later in France.

This is the start of the era of modern games, be they boards, cards or dice.

The famous scrabble and 1000 terminals appeared in 1950 and 1954 respectively.

In 1971, another revolution was underway.

With Chainmail, the first role-playing games emerge in turn.

These famous war games with fantastic creatures that another generation is keen on.

Since the beginning of the Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations, games and toys have played an essential role.

In 700 BC appear the first dolls with articulated limbs.

Many other miniaturized objects were also found such as tools, weapons, statuettes and animal figures.

Let’s not forget the games our children always play, such as marbles and knucklebones. The Romans, for example, played a lot of strategic military games such as Latroncules.

 The games of conquering territory and pieces were the main goal of the games of hopscotch and the pyramid of nuts for example.

Find out the plus plus at Joue le Jeu Vaison!

Plus-Plus is a new educational game, the popularity of which was built in Denmark (its country of origin) thanks to various institutions in the children's world.

Developing imagination and creativity, Plus-Plus is the expression of Danish toy know-how.

Made up of a unique shape and multiple colors, Plus-Plus can be assembled as you wish and is limited only by the imagination.

Once upon a time, 3000 years ago in Egypt, we were already playing board games.

With the game of 20 squares, you had to advance your pawn by trying to block your opponent on a board containing 20 squares.

It was subsequently made more difficult by the Persian Chalran in the 5th century.

The hierarchy of the pieces then allows more advanced tactics and game bases.

As early as 600 AD, the first chess players appear in the texts thanks to their Indian ancestor the chaturanga.

The Egyptians are part of the people who like to play board games.

You may recognize a game that everyone knows ... Mehen is the ancestor of the game of goose.

The progression is also done with pawns (lions, lionesses and 36 marbles) on a board.

Then appears the ancestor of backgammon, the seneth.

A tactical game where you have to advance your pawns on the board and reach the thirtieth square without getting your pawns caught or falling into traps.

114 years ago today, a great lady was born, Lioudmila Roudenko, the second world chess champion after her compatriot Vera Menchik.

In 1950, Soviet women won the first four places in the World Women's Chess Championship.

She was dethroned in 1953 by her compatriot Elisabeth Bykova!

In the historical context of the time it is a feat!

Thanks to these ladies and thanks google for the booster shot :)
