Hello everyone !

In 2022, a new golden ace will appear at the Cannes International Games Festival.

The "Initiated" golden ace which rewards a game that is aimed at an audience accustomed to playing, turning to games with more elaborate mechanisms.

The rules require more attention, the set-up of the game is precise and the games can exceed one hour.

Living Forest is the first to win this award and ushers in a long list of future award-winning games that will follow it.

Throughout its evolution, the world of board games has been able to reinvent itself to celebrate more than 30 years of golden aces and Spiel des Jahres.

Children, beginners, insiders or experts, the world of board games has not finished surprising us.

Thank you to all these illustrators, creators, distributors and creators of fun content who bring a common passion to life.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Unforgettable moments around board games!

I have the chance to work in a fun and attractive field all year round.

The hardest times are when I sacrifice myself to discover new games so that I can introduce you to them and share them with you afterwards.

Being forced to play to discover new games while having fun with friends and colleagues, it does not look like it but it is exhausting. ;)

Friends, colleagues of the moment during special events, I evolve in an environment where people are all a little crazy like me (you have to to play all these magnificent games ^^).

From one-off moments to moments that recur every year with fad teams, I am overwhelmed.

Great fun teams who are committed to spreading the fun world of board games everywhere we go.

Be careful, toy librarians and gamers of all kinds are on their way to torture you and make you discover fun nuggets throughout the year in France and elsewhere;)

Good day and good game ;)

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

Dragomino is an exploratory game of dominoes lasting about 15 minutes for 2 to 4 players.

The big moment has arrived. You have been named "dragon trainer", and you have the chance to meet them on a mysterious island.

But you are not the only trainer sent to these lands. Who among you will discover the most baby dragons?

Dragomino features gameplay similar to Kingdomino, but with gameplay geared towards younger players.  

At the start of a turn, you reveal four domino tiles, with each domino featuring two types of landscapes.

Starting with whoever has the mama dragon figurine, players draw a tile and add it to their landscape.

 If the newly placed tile matches the landscape of one or more adjacent tiles, then you draw an egg tile for that type of landscape and place it face up where those tiles meet.

Some eggs feature a baby dragon, which is worth 1 point; others feature an empty shell, which allows you to take the mama dragon, giving you first choice on the next turn.

After seven rounds, the game ends and the player holding the mother dragon scores 1 extra point.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Share a passion to make it even more alive!

The store is called Joue le Jeu Vaison, and it is not by chance.

All year round, I try to play the game and offer you fair prices.

Excluding the increase in distributors, the price of games does not vary depending on the time of year when you come to buy them at the store.

But Joue le Jeu is not only for the sale of board games.

I'm glad that the game animations are back, especially after the covid, and that you're still so motivated to play.

Having a passion is already great, but sharing it is the ultimate consecration for me.

Making you discover games from large and small distributors, sharing moments around board games with you, it's a daily gift.

It makes it a little more concrete and makes it more alive, because these are unique moments and time that you give me.

Thank you for believing and for continuing to believe in my board game animation project.

Don't change, you are all magnificent as you are and our shared moments will always remain anchored in me.

Good day and good game ;)

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

Azul is a 30-40 minute tiling strategy game for 2-4 players.

Each player will take turns taking tiles and placing them on their pattern lines. He must take all the tiles of the same color from a single factory, or take all the tiles of the same color from the center of the table. Once the player has taken the tiles, he must immediately place them on one of his pattern lines by placing them from right to left.  In the same line, only tiles of the same color can appear, and this color must not yet have been placed in this line.

When all the tiles in a line are placed, the line is considered complete. If you have captured more tiles than you had spaces, then you must place the excess in your floor line (bottom), which will inflict a penalty on you at the end of the round. Each time a player takes tiles from a factory, they must take the rest of the tiles from that factory that they did not take and place them in the center of the table. After a while, the pile in the center can be large and even dangerous, as you can be forced to take many penalties.

You are obliged to take at least one tile on each of your turns. In this phase, each player looks at their pattern lines and for each one that is complete, they can take a tile from that line and place it on the space of the corresponding color (in the same line, follow the arrow). The rest of the tiles are returned to the box.

For each tile that is placed on your wall this turn, starting with the top one and going down, we will then see if it forms a horizontal line with the others. If this is the case, a number of points equal to the size of this line is scored. Same thing for a vertical line. The two can thus be combined, but only if the tile placed this turn is part of the line. If your tile is alone, you only score one point for that tile. Score your points using the black cube on your score track.

 Finally, subtract the number of points indicated for each tile in the floor line. The number of penalty points increases over time, so the more you have in the same round, the higher the penalty will be (it starts at -1 and ends at -3 per space). Fortunately, it is impossible to go beyond 7 penalty tiles, which is still -14. Once the penalty has been deducted from your score, discard all the floor line tiles and don't forget to put the first player pawn back in the middle of the factories.

If a player has completed at least one horizontal line, then the game ends and the final scoring proceeds. If no player has completed a horizontal line, then the game continues, we put 4 tiles back on each factory. Once the game is over, for each line completed, each player scores 2 additional points.

For each completed column, 7 points. And finally, if a player has 5 identical tiles in his wall, he scores 10 points for each group of 5 tiles of identical color.

The winner is the one who has scored the most points!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

In 1991, the Cannes International Games Festival did not take place.

The edition was postponed due to the Gulf War.

So you won't see a golden ace or game of the year in 1991, because there simply weren't any for obvious security reasons.

This did not prevent the world of games from renewing itself the following year and becoming more and more creative by offering, for example, interactive board games such as Atmosfear.

Also a lot of titles such as junior or youngest golden ace, board game golden ace, joker golden ace, etc.

Prizes that were precise in their selection and which have disappeared over time to become more restricted titles and make the gaming world even more relevant and professional over time.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Play to create links between players!

The game creates a link between players by encouraging them to share common rules, but always different strategies.

By sharing a game and teasing or cooperating with other players during games, we get to know each other a little better.

We discover the fine strategists, the players who cooperate to beat other players, the players who play it solo.

The game creates a closeness between the players, because it allows them to get to know each other in a framework that is common to them.

Many of my players during animation times have discovered commonalities, in addition to board games, with others.

I am thinking, for example, of this shy child who did not dare to play with other children, because she was afraid of “being ridiculous” because she had not played board games much before.

So I took the time to play with her a little to begin with, then little by little, she managed to talk to the other children and play with them without me being present around the play table.

At the end of the animation time, she had made new friends and was happy to have managed to play with the others, she had even won a few games.

As you can see, young or old, we can always find something to gather around board games.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Qwirkle!

Qwirkle is an approximately 45 minute tile game for 2-4 players.

Qwirkle's abstract game consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six different colors.

There is no board, players simply use any available flat surface.

 Players start the game with six blocks.

 The first player places blocks of a single matching attribute (color or shape but not both) on the table.

Then a player adds adjacent blocks to at least one previously played block.  

The blocks must all be played online and match, without duplicates, the color or shape of the previous block.

Players score one point for each block played plus all adjacent blocks.

 It is possible for a block to mark in more than one direction.

If a player completes a line containing all six shapes or colors, six additional points are scored.  

The player then reloads their hand to six blocks.  

The game ends when the draw bag is exhausted and a player plays all of their remaining blocks, earning a six point bonus.  

The player with the highest score wins.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

In 1991, the Saint-Herblain festival appeared, from which the Double 6 was born!

The town of Saint-Herblain, near Nantes, has two toy libraries, and spaces dedicated to games in two media libraries.  

It has a gaming policy and has organized a gaming festival since 1991.

Since 2004, the Games Festival which takes place in February lasts 15 days, awards a Public Prize rewarding the family game having received the best votes from a non-professional jury and the public.

In 2012, the Public Prize changed its name to Double 6. It happens that by confusion the Saint-Herblain Games Festival is also called “Double 6” but this is a mistake.

Half of the score is awarded by a jury made up of motivated players, excluding all gaming professionals.

The other half of the score is awarded by the families who discover the games and their rules without any outside help (no explanation by a facilitator: the game must be self-sufficient), in places spread over several points department games.

The rating by the public is based on three criteria: the understandability of the rules, with a rating out of 5 (out of 10 since 2022); the aesthetics of the game hardware, and the game hardware itself, with a rating out of 10; gaming pleasure, with a score out of 15 (out of 20 since 2022).

In chronological order since 2004, we will find the games, Maka Bana, Saboteur, Lost objects, Siam, Le Trésor des Mayas, Wazabi, Dice Town, Boomerang, Takenoko, Noé, The little prince, Abyss, 7 wonders duel, Kingdomino , Twin It, Fertility, Draftosaurus, Top Ten and in 2022 Mot Malin.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Play to help build self-confidence!

Playing allows you to discover yourself and develop your self-confidence.

We discover through the game that we can develop various strategies according to our choices and the games we play.

You then learn to trust yourself by trying something new with the framework of the rules of the game.

Everyone advances according to the same rules, which makes it possible to develop tools at their own pace.

I remember this 85-year-old player who was afraid of being lost while playing with her children and grandchildren, because they were more used to playing board games than she was.

We started every day with games based on classic games she had already played and now she plays the game of discovering new games every time.

She succeeded, by gaining self-confidence, in developing her curiosity and enthusiasm for games.

Now, she is no longer afraid to test new animation games and she even often asks her children and grandchildren to play together when they get together as a family outside animation times.

The board game allows you to have an equal footing with all players and to dare to develop game strategies from the simplest to the most complicated.

The board game is an engine of moments shared together, because we listen to the other players to progress in the game.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Dixit!

Dixit is a cooperative game of about 30 minutes for 3 to 8 players.

A player is the storyteller of the round and looks at the pictures on the 6 cards in his hand. From one of them, she composes a sentence and pronounces it aloud (without showing the card to the other players).  

Each other player selects the card in their hand that best matches the phrase and gives the selected card to the storyteller, without showing it to the others.

The storyteller shuffles her card with all the cards received.

All images are shown face up and each player must bet which image was the storyteller's.

If no one or everyone finds the correct card, the storyteller scores 0 and each of the other players scores 2.

Otherwise, the storyteller and whoever found the correct answer score 3.

Players score 1 point for each vote for their own card.  

The game ends when the draw pile is empty or if a player scores 30 points.

In both cases, the player with the most points wins the game.

The base game and all expansions have 84 cards each.

Good day and good game ;)

In 2016, the Grand Prix and the Jury Prize disappear as the expert golden ace makes its entrance.

The “expert golden ace prize” was then won by Pandemic Legacy, the child golden ace by Maitre Renard and the golden ace, game of the year by Mysterium.

The expert gold ace rewards games for an audience accustomed to more complex game rules and mechanisms.

Among these “expert golden aces”, we find for example games such as Scythe, Terraforming Mars, Detective, Res Arcana, The Crew or even Dune Imperium in 2022.

This golden ace further professionalizes the gaming world, which continues to progress and always offers more novelties and new game concepts.

Even outside of the golden aces, game creators always have a good idea running through their heads, we are not done being surprised. ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is sharing with others!

Playing a board game is always a moment that brings us all together around a table regardless of the type of game we play.

This is an opportunity to share a good time with the people you appreciate the most.

Ambient games, cards, dice, roles, board games bring us together and allow us to share a privileged moment with other players.

Much more than a game, it is a moment of sharing that we offer ourselves and our loved ones, sometimes discovering that they can be bad losers or bad winners.

The great thing about board games is that there are so many varieties of games that one can explore different themes and mechanics at any time.

For example, I am quite bad at immediate memory games, but I make up for it with strategy or logic games that I particularly enjoy.

For 10 minutes or 10 hours of play (or more, huh, it's not forbidden ;) ), the game allows a unique and timeless moment.

A time that we devote to ourselves and to others.

Because yes, playing is also opening up to others.

Good day and good game ;)

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

Rummikub is a game of sequences of 30 to 45 minutes for 2 to 4 players where you have to put number sequences according to the tiles you have.

To win at Rummikub, you must position all your tiles on the table by making sequences or series.

Sequences: You place AT LEAST 3 consecutive tiles (i.e. on which the numbers shown follow one another) of the same color. The series: You deposit, AT LEAST, 3 tiles on which are indicated the same number but of different colors.

To start the game, each player draws 14 tiles which he then places on his easel so that the curious little ones cannot peek!!! The rest of the tiles will be used for the draw pile.

To determine who will start, each player draws a tile. The one with the highest number will start.

ATTENTION: For a player to start, the combination(s) he places on the table must be worth at least 30 points. If not, the player draws a tile and it is another player's turn.

Reminder: A combination must have at least 3 tiles, but you can also use your tiles in different ways:

 If a player uses a joker in his combination, you can recover it by placing the tile he was replacing. ATTENTION the joker must be used immediately in another combination.

 You can also add a tile at the end of a combination in order to recover the tile that is at the other end. to use it immediately in another combination).

 If you want to use a tile already positioned in a combination you can but you must absolutely replace it with another tile.

 You can also divide an already positioned suit into two. you can remove one in order to use it. The player who lays his tiles the fastest wins the game.

The other players must therefore add up the points remaining on their rack.

These points will be negative points. A joker left on your easel will cost you 30 negative points.

The “grand prize”, expert game of the year, arrived in 2012 after the creation in 2011 of the German expert game.

Rewarding in particular games such as Olympos, Myrmes, Brussels 1893 and Five Tribes.

Some often find themselves nominated for expert golden aces and Kennerspiel des Jahres.

The grand prize was then replaced in 2016 by the expert golden ace.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Born during the rise of board games!

Born in the late 80s, I was born at the propitious moment in the development of board games that preceded our current board games.

The 80s and 90s saw the board game take a turn by becoming a more developed and affordable family practice.

Following wider diversification in these years, the rise of board games exploded in the 80s.

Games became more varied and therefore reached a wider audience.

These same 80s when we see the development of toy libraries and the professionalization of the field thanks to events such as the Spiel des Jahres from 1978 in Germany and especially the Cannes International Games Festival.

I played games that no longer exist such as the secret phone, let's draw fashion, trap marbles, mouse catcher and many more...

We have all also already played these games that still exist such as Uno, monopoly, good pay, destiny, doctor maboul, power 4, trivial puirsuit, gluttonous hippo, sinking touchdown, twister, etc…

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about SuperGang!

SuperGang is a cooperative game of about 120 minutes for 3 to 5 players.

In SuperGang, each player is the godfather of a mafia team made up of three gangsters: the killer, the dealer and the vamp (femme fatale).

The object of the game is to own a complete suburb of the city or be the last surviving gang.

A variation has a fifth player having the cops with the goal of sending all the gangs to jail.

You can steal money from the streets, sell drugs, vampirize other players' characters, buy/rob/rob shops, or kill other characters, shopkeepers, or cops.  

The killer has a kill bonus, the femme fatale can vampirize characters, and the dealer is the only one who can deal (of course).

The cops are played by the player whose turn it is (so they move every turn of each player) except in the variant where they are played by a player.

 They can testify against or arrest gangsters but they can also be bought off.

The fights (duels) are resolved in the following way and are one of the originalities of the game.

Each player involved rolls the dice according to the characters in the duel (1D6, 1D6+2 for a killer, 2D6 for a cop) and adds them up.  The highest roll acts first and is the attacker.

A cardboard figurine is set up for each character participating in the duel.

 The attacker fires the dart gun at the targets with as many darts as the difference between the totals rolled. If he shoots all the opposing characters, he wins. Then the defender shoots with the same number of darts.

This exchange continues until one player has killed all of the other's targets. A face down target means the character has been killed. Face up means he is only wounded.

 If all 3 of a player's characters are dead at the same time, he loses. He should, however, recruit reinforcements before that happens.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is learning while having fun!

The game is an incredible tool to learn lots of new things.

In addition to learning to follow rules on an equal footing between all players, the game allows you to discover various worlds and develop your knowledge.

When playing Timeline, for example, placing major events in chronological order helps memorize these events, or at least get an idea of ​​their time of existence in relation to other events.

The game also develops curiosity if you look into it even a little. ;)

We discover that Hanabi for example means in Japanese "fireworks" by the ideograms flower and fire 花火.

Even by playing Uno, you learn to play American 8.

By playing Reversi, we learn moves that we also make in the game of go.

Even much more than learning, we have fun with loved ones and we sometimes discover hidden facets that only reveal themselves during a moment around a board game. ;)

For example, when playing Jokes de Papa against my best friend, I like to make a particular expression that makes him burst out laughing every time, as you know with Jokes de Papa, you laugh, you lose ^^.

By playing with you around a table on a daily basis, I discover you are determined, strategists, and even sometimes a little trickster. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Today we are going to talk about Loony Quest!

Loony Quest is a game of about 20-30 minutes for 2-5 players.

In the wonderful land of Arkadia, a very old king has no heir.

He organizes a tournament to offer his throne to the bravest adventurer in the kingdom.

Up to five finalists will travel through seven worlds full of surprises...

  In the drawing game Loony Quest, players study challenging level maps and then try to replicate the outline to complete objectives and avoid obstacles on their tracing sheets.

When complete, players place their sheets on top of the level map to see if the designs line up with the targets they wanted to hit or avoid.

 Largely inspired by video games, Loony Quest players discover different worlds, play with 3D and 2D levels, meet wacky monsters - Loonies - and big bosses, trigger special stages, collect bonuses, inflict penalties on their opponents and accumulate as many Xperience points as possible.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is developing your logical mind!

When we get out of our comfort zone, the game allows us to develop our logical mind.

The rules of the game, indicating how to play, guide us to organize ourselves by adapting to the constraints and possibilities that each game offers us.

This involves integrating the rules as the game progresses at first so that you can then find your own mechanics and play according to the interests you want to derive from the game afterwards.

Are we going to try collaborations to progress faster in a game or on the contrary try to block other players to win solo?

Each game leads to a different level of thinking, even the simplest ones such as discard games or aperitif games.

The Connect 4, for example, mobilizes the reflection on the fact of aligning four pawns of our color without forgetting to block the lines of pawns of the other player.

Resource games encourage us to weigh the pros and cons of combos or actions that will earn us or make us lose points.

The Uno allows him unions and disunions of the players throughout the game. Yes, yes, we know that the "+4" are given to annoy his neighbor, huh! ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Smallworld!

Small World is a conquest game of about 60-80 minutes for 2-5 players.

In Small World, players compete for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

Small World is inhabited by a wacky cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands to fend off other races. from the surface of the earth.

Choosing the right combination from 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players race to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors.

Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and drive a new one to victory!

 Each turn, you either use the multiple tiles of your chosen race (creature type) to occupy adjacent territories (normally) - perhaps defeating weaker enemy races along the way, or you drop your race into it. letting it "decline".

A declining race is designated by flipping the tiles to their black and white side.

At the end of your turn, you score a point (coin) for each territory occupied by your races.  

You can have an active race and a declining race on the board at the same time.

 Your occupation total may vary depending on your race's special abilities and the territories they occupy.

After the final round, the player with the most coins wins.

Good day and good game ;)

In 2004 and 2005, the "super ace d'or" (replaced by the "ace d'or" in 2003) and the "game of the year" merged to become the current "As d'or, jeu de the year”.

The game les aventuriers du rail then won the gold ace and game of the year for two consecutive years in addition to winning the Spiel des Jahres in 2004.

The Cannes International Games Festival and the Association Française de Promotion et d’Evaluation des Jeux de Société join their efforts by bringing together the golden ace for the FIJ and the game of the year for the AFPEJS.

The French gaming world then had a single quality label recognized by the profession and capable of seducing the public.

One price so audiences can navigate the ever-changing world of gaming with ease.

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 ;)
