In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. »
If there is one quality of mine that has always been useful to me in life and especially in the store, it is patience...
I wanted at all costs to develop moments around board games with you and not just sell them to you.
The events at the store took off quite quickly and were going pretty well from the start.
I had to be more patient with the outdoor activities which started timidly.
Patience can seem bitter when you are not immediately recognized for the experience you can offer.
But as they say “Rome was not built in a day”, every project is built, needs to mature and develop in order to evolve perpetually.
We put our stones in place one after the other and then we adjust them if they are not ready to build something solid.
And then over time, we reap the sweet fruits of what we sowed and we know why it was worth the wait.
Now, since covid, my outdoor activities are very calm and my outdoor activities are very dynamic.
This is why I chose to introduce games with “Discover Games” to introduce beginners to board games and why not help find new players. ;)
Everyone receives their blessings, there is no point in being jealous or eyeing the good things that other people gain...
What takes time to build often lasts longer than what is hastily built.
Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone !
Our Play with thought of the day comes from a French proverb:

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Noli!
In Noli, let's build the most powerful seaport with 4 players for 45 minutes to be the best patron!
In Noli, we control a thriving medieval maritime city under the benevolent patronage of the powerful Republic of Genoa.
This sun-drenched fishing community has a rich history of independence, trade and competition.
Every year, in September, in order to determine the fishing rights for the following season, the gozzi (typical fishing boats of Liguria) from the four districts of Burgu, Ciassa, Màina and Portellu organize a regatta along a route of 1,600 meters, in fractions of 400 meters between buoys.
Not content with this form of competition alone, merchant families from each neighborhood compete with each other to build tall red brick towers to display their wealth.
Their successful buildings give the town of Noli its distinctive appearance, although no merchant tower can hope to match the proud castle atop Monte Ursino, whose constant vigilance and defensive walls protect Noli from Saracen raids and assaults jealous neighboring towns!
Each game follows a series of rounds, during which players will secretly bid on four actions using coins. The player who makes the highest bid for each action wins a bonus or moves closer to victory by building a floor of their tower.
Between each auction session, players frantically roll dice in real time to simulate the famous Regata-dei-Reoni. The winner of the race gets to fish in the best places, drawing from the best deck of fish cards, while the other players must draw from worse decks containing fewer fish. These cards can also feature events such as "The Saracens Attack!" and “Storm!” which disrupt the game and push players back.
If a player manages to build 6 tower floors, or have the most tower floors at the end of the game, they win!
Good day and good game ;)

The Bardenas Reales
The Bardenas Reales are a semi-desert area with an area of 39,200 ha (392 km²) located in Spain, in the southeast of Navarre, between Tudela and Carcastillo.
More precisely, it brings together the Bardena Blanca, desert, the Bardena Negra, covered with a xerophilic forest and El Plano, steppe and agricultural.
This nature reserve has particular vegetation which has earned it the status of a world biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
Erosion has also shaped impressive rock formations, of which the Castil de Tierra or the Rallon and Piskerra massifs, made up of badlands, are the most emblematic manifestations.
This particular landscape has made it a filming location for several films and audiovisual series, including scenes from Game of Thrones.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Little miracles every day!
I am one of those people who think that we can enjoy all the little things in everyday life.
In the world of board games, I would say that each moment that I share with you around a game, a discussion is unique.
All these good little moments are for me my little daily miracles, because I never get tired of sharing all these moments with you...
So finding the game that makes you laugh together and have a good time is great!
Allowing you to offer your loved ones players gems that they would not necessarily have discovered elsewhere is also one of my objectives.
And then share with you play times that are always friendly and bring us closer together, these are moments out of time...
I always look forward to coming and joining you at the various events, whether my events or the co-hosted events.
Because coming to your contact to make you play and have a good time, these are little playful miracles…
I love being the one who makes you play solo as much as sharing these moments of animation with colleagues from the gaming world!
Because each animation, or each game or service sold, these are always instructive moments of discussion that help me progress on a daily basis.
I like to progress so that I can share even more unique moments with you, these are my little everyday miracles!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Master Islands!
Be the first to win the maximum number of islands to become the Master Islands, 2 to 4 players for 20 minutes from 8 years old!
In Master Islands, we are corsairs who must seize as many islands as possible to become the master of the islands!
We shuffle the island cards then distribute 3 to each player and place the rest face down in a draw pile in the center of the table.
We place a first card from the draw pile face up on the table and each player chooses a color and places their two galleons on the island card face up.
A game turn is done in 3 phases. We start with the discovery phase.
We can place an island card so that it is adjacent to a card where we already have a galleon of our color (but not diagonally).
You can then move one of your galleons from a single card adjacent to the card where it is located vertically or horizontally.
If the island card placed by the player is of the same color as one of the cards where he already has a galleon, the player can put down another island card.
If this is not the case, it switches to the conquest face.
If the player has made a vertical, horizontal or diagonal alignment of cards whose sum is equal to 10, he can recover them if they do not include any galleon tokens, regardless of whether they follow each other or not.
If he cannot recover an alignment, the player moves to the resupply phase.
The player draws the number of cards he needs to fill his hand with 3 cards.
The game ends when there are no more cards in the draw pile or on the table. We then count the points already acquired by each player's 10-point island alignments.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
If there is a tie, the player whose island sum is higher between the two tied players wins.
Play Master Islands in cooperative mode with a victory from 12 islands recovered or in more intense competitive mode with privateer mode where one player plays against all the others.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
The Youth Olympic Games!
Starting in 2010, the Olympic Games host the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), where athletes are between 14 and 18 years old.
The YOG was created by Jacques Rogge, President of the IOC, in 2001.
The decision is approved during the 119th IOC Congress.
The 2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games were held in Singapore and the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games were held in Innsbruck, Austria.
These Games last less than the traditional Olympic Games.
Summer ones last twelve days and winter ones, nine days.
3,500 athletes and 875 officials will participate in the 2010 Summer Olympics, and 970 athletes and 580 officials in the Winter Olympics.
The sports on the program coincide with those of the traditional Olympic Games, however the number of disciplines and events is reduced.
Good day and good game ;)
