Hello everyone!
I already wanted to thank you for all the lovers of love who came to take advantage of the Valentine's Day offer!
Thank you to the lovers, to the children who came to offer surprises to their parents, to the friends who tease each other as they say in the west “like old couples” with a tender and complicit bicker… ;)
And since love is not just about being in a relationship, find here the magnificent article by Marinette Gravier to get the opinion of our elders on this subject right here:
Also discover here the store's new Tiktok video on the Olympics and games again and again (surprise ^^ hoping that it will make you smile or even laugh) ;) at the following link:
And for those who don't have Tik Tok, here are the links to the nine games presented in the video by clicking on the picture of the game you want to discover. Thank you again to everyone for your enthusiasm for the store on a daily basis. :)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new Opus of "JJV’s Offs"!
"Let me escape the lying and criminal illusion of happiness! Give me work, fatigue, pain, and enthusiasm."
Nothing is gained for nothing, and determination is often a great asset in life in general, but especially in the life of an independent business. That's good, because work doesn't scare me. I love developing new projects.
I'm very happy to have been able to share games, fun moments, and discussions in and outside the store for almost eight years now. For almost seven years, outdoor events have allowed me to introduce you to fun gems and allow you to enjoy them with you.
I'm very satisfied and proud of myself, because my daily work in the store and in outdoor events has allowed me to be a guarantee of reliability and quality for you. I wish I could honor all the event requests you send me, but I'm incredibly lucky to be hired year after year.
I appreciate how lucky I am to be able to offer you events that reflect your personality, that I love to personalize and share with you. You may wish you wanted to be everywhere, but that's not my case. I like people to talk about the store, but I don't want to gain any personal glory from it.
I'm always delighted when I'm offered new partnerships and the opportunity to promote the store by offering me articles in the newspaper (thanks again, Marinette ;) ). And I'm lucky to have customers who believe in my store all year round, so thank you too ;).
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Eriantys!
Apprentice wizards, for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up, for 30 minutes. It's up to you to prove that you're the best wizard in the making!
In Eriantys, you take the lead of one of the four great schools of Eriantys to challenge other wizards to increase your renown and expand your school by building magical towers.
The more creatures from the same kingdom you have sitting in your common room, the more favor you'll gain from the corresponding professor. This professor influences all the creatures from his kingdom scattered across the islands in your favor. Mother Nature, meanwhile, wanders from island to island and rewards the school that influences the greatest number of creatures on its island by allowing it to build a new tower.
You must build all your towers before the other players. The loyalty of creatures from the five kingdoms is very fickle, and teachers easily change schools. Creatures who were on your side yesterday could change allegiance in the blink of an eye! Eriantys offers several different game modes, the basic rules of which vary slightly depending on the number of players. The following rules are for an easy 2-player game.
To win the game, you must place all your towers, or have the most when there are no Student discs left in your bag. Place a tower on an island visited by Mother Nature if you have the greatest influence. Influence is gained by controlling teachers. It is equal to the number of students of the corresponding color on the island.
When towers are placed next to each other, they cause the islands to unite into archipelagos, taking with them all the students and towers placed there.
The game is played over several rounds. Each round is divided into two phases: planning and actions. The planning phase consists of two steps: adding new students to the cloud tiles and adding assistant cards. The first player draws three Student discs at random from the bag and places them all on a single cloud tile. They do the same for the second cloud tile. Starting with the first player, each player plays one assistant card. The chosen card determines three things: the turn order of the following action phase, the starting player for the next round, and the number of moves Mother Nature can make.
During the Action Phase, each player takes a turn by completing the following three steps in order, starting with the player who played the lowest-value Assistant card and continuing in ascending order of card value. Move three students to your dining hall or an island. Move Mother Nature to an island, then check if her arrival island is controlled or conquered. Then unify the adjacent islands. Choose a Cloud tile, take its three new students, and add them to your entry.
When all players have taken a turn, the round is over. Start a new round with the Planning Phase, starting with the player who played the lowest-value Assistant in the previous round. A game can end if a player builds their last tower, if there are only three archipelagos/islands left on the table, or if there are not enough students on a Cloud tile. The player who builds the most towers on islands wins the game. In the event of a tie, the player who controls the most professors wins.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Anastasia, a princess found?
Released in 1997, the animated film Anastasia is inspired by the true story of Russia's last royal family. Having ruled the country for nearly 300 years, the Romanovs were all assassinated on July 17, 1918, during the Russian Revolution. Among them were Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra Fyodorova, and their five children: Olga, Alexis, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia.
The day after the assassinations, rumors spread that Anastasia Romanov, then 17, was still alive. Some say the bullets ricocheted off the precious stones sewn onto her dress; others base their conclusions on the interrogation of a Bolshevik soldier, claiming he buried only six bodies instead of seven. The most extravagant theories then emerged, casting doubt on the young woman's fate.
Then, in 1920, a German police officer saved a woman who had attempted suicide by throwing herself into a canal at the last minute. Since she had no papers and refused to talk, she was eventually committed to a psychiatric asylum under the name Anna Anderson.
There, her roommate recognized her as Anastasia Romanov. Several witnesses were then called. The Grand Duchess's nurse and one of her classmates also recognized her, while her former lady-in-waiting, Baroness Sophie Buxhoeveden, denied any resemblance.
The young woman later regained consciousness and insisted that she was Anastasia. Several trials took place in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, until the Hamburg Court delivered its verdict. Anastasia survived the massacre, but the young woman never provided any concrete evidence to prove her identity.
She finally died in 1984 and was indeed buried under the royal family name. However, the Romanov bodies were exhumed in the 1990s to allow for a precise identification, and a DNA test was conducted on the alleged Anastasia. The results were conclusive: Anna Anderson was not a Romanov.
Good day and good game ;)
