JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The falling tree makes more noise than the growing forest."
I am very happy that lovely journalists like Marinette came to write articles about the store. It is always a pleasure to receive recognition for the work you do, especially when you are self-employed.
I had a hard time in 2021 to believe that I could have been nominated in the categories of kindness, originality, digital and agility. The special congratulations from the jury made me very happy and winning the agility prize just as much.
I don't like to talk about myself and prefer to talk about the store and the experiences that surround it in the "Offs du JJV" because they are part of the life of the store. It is a way of sharing with you the ups and downs and good times of the life of the store.
I prefer to move forward calmly and develop the store at my own pace by seizing opportunities that arise and for which I cannot always provide details. Some structures where I work wish to maintain a certain confidentiality, which I fully support.
And even if rumors invent a life for me that I do not have, I find it interesting to see how far I am capable of progressing in the mouths of evil tongues…^^ I advance my pawns in silence and am content to smile in the face of the negativity of certain people.
To need to make so much noise, it is because they must want to attract attention… It is a shame for them that they only have this way to occupy their day. But thanks to them, I have managed to question myself to regain self-confidence. So I say a big thank you to them for allowing me to realize the person I would not want to be, that is to say them… And in the meantime I continue to move forward slowly but surely. ;)
Have a good day and good game ;)

Hippos kill more Africans than lions, great white sharks and crocodiles combined
Lions are always portrayed as powerful and dangerous animals. The same goes for crocodiles and the great white shark, but in reality, encounters with hippos cause more deaths in Africa than these three predators combined.
Lagos is the largest city on the continent
The Nigerian capital has more than one and a half times as many citizens as New York, which helps to understand that Lagos is truly a megalopolis.
The government claims that the city has about 17.5 million inhabitants, but other estimates go as high as 21 million.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"A small hill makes you reach a big one."
When I look at the path I have traveled since June 25, 2018 when I opened the store, I am quite proud of the efforts I have made and where the store is at.
Especially when we see that when you open a business, people only see the tip of the iceberg and not always the work provided outside of what is visible
You also have to count on people who are hostile to your project and who make you feel it and know it, the colleagues who put obstacles in your way to try to sell more than you.
And it goes from simple gossip, to rumors, physical threats, intimidation and harassment on a daily basis, without forgetting to make you look like a racist in the eyes of everyone on the Internet. I have noticed over the years that this type of person has no limits when it comes to "taking down the enemy".
What these people do not understand despite the years that have passed, these attacks have only strengthened me and strengthened my business. Far from making me lose the motivation and morale to continue with my store, they have motivated me and made me want to progress even more.
When you need to do such insignificant and low things to give yourself importance, it is because you clearly fear the person you want to put down, otherwise you would not be so aggressive.
Have you ever seen successful people attack others? Not me... I went from being disgusted and often quite angry by this daily harassment and belittling in the first years of the store, to finding it funny in recent years to see these people being so afraid of me who is content to live my life in my corner and progress my store.
And in the end, all the little daily hassles that some people have caused me since the beginning of the store, have led me to strengthen myself and make the store progress more and more each time! So thank you to them for their adversity which allowed me to set limits and no longer give so much of my time and energy for trifles that are just good for a campfire!
I am proud of my progress and the evolution of the store, despite the little trifles that fuel the fire of my gaming passion ;)
Have a good day and good game ;)

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Perseverance is a talisman for life."
Among the things that have always been very useful to me in life, my perseverance is one. If we give up at the slightest difficulty or the slightest effort, we cannot obtain results, whether negative or positive.
Being jealous or complaining about not getting there without even having tried or having continued to try is like wanting to go on a cruise without getting on the boat. Impossible.
We cannot want to obtain what others have obtained through perseverance if we are not capable ourselves of taking charge and being courageous enough to obtain them by ourselves...
Because even if we try to replace these people, if we have not fallen where they have fallen, we do not know how they got back up and we will not be able to get back up.
I grew up with the example of my grandparents who always believed in what they wanted to succeed and gave themselves the means to get there. Always very courageous and determined, they always showed resilience and perseverance in the face of life's events.
I am very proud to have inherited some of the character traits they had, because it has always been very useful to me in life and I think it will continue to be useful to me for a long time to come.
As precious as a talisman, perseverance allows you to fail and progress until you reach the goals you set for yourself. A failure is already a success, because it teaches us a lesson about what we have not been able to master. And perseverance allows us to have the consistency to want to learn from our mistakes and progress accordingly.

Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Looking for the best in others brings out the best in you."
I particularly appreciate this part of my job with the animations where I can encourage you to discover your favorite games and help you gain self-confidence.
I have had the pleasure of seeing beginner players find a new passion in games and open up to others thanks to them. I have seen many friendships created thanks to my animations and I can tell you that I am very proud of it.
When I see these children in difficulty succeed in expressing their emotions through the game times that I share with them, I am proud of them and delighted to have found a way to help them express themselves more easily.
The progress of our elders during game times has been and still is a driving force of motivation for me. Seeing them smile, exchange a complicity between them and with me, enriches me humanly.
I personally do not understand these people who hurt or belittle, because they only reflect their discomfort on the people they seek to hurt, but always hurt themselves more…
It is so sad that they do not appreciate themselves when I am sure that they have beautiful things to offer humanly to others. But it is certain that we cannot love others as long as we are at war with ourselves and do not love ourselves.
Even when I suffered the most in my life, I would have found it unfair to want to attack others when they were in no way responsible for my suffering. That is why I worked and continue to work on my traumas so as not to inflict them on other people who are not responsible for it without wanting to.
Because if we want things to change for us, we can't act the same way and expect different results... Suffering is no fun, healing is even less so, but as soon as we are on the path to ourselves, we discover magnificent parts of ourselves that are just waiting to be expressed.
I assure you that we can start with a bad hand in life, but the game is worth the candle and that when we play our game, healing guides us towards new horizons.
Even if my sky has been and sometimes still is cloudy, I hold the helm so that my ship continues to bring me moments of sharing and complicity with you!

To the question “how many countries are there in Africa?” To answer this question, we must count the number of sovereign nations. The continent has 54 recognized countries, Africa is the second most populous continent, home to approximately 1.3 billion people.
This diversity is reflected in the myriad of languages spoken – over 3,000 – and a wide range of governmental structures, from expansive democracies to kingdoms that still preserve ancient traditions.
This complexity and diversity defy many preconceived notions about Africa, highlighting its role as a powerful player on the world stage.

"Grass never grows on the road where everyone passes."
I chose not only to offer games that everyone knows, but also those offered by independent publishers. They often offer interesting games that are less known, because they have less visibility than games from major distributors.
In addition to that, I have always wanted to develop game animations to spread the gaming world on my modest scale of a store. When I opened the store, nothing was offered in Vaison and its surroundings.
Even if some players in the gaming world do not always go in the direction of gaming pleasure but rather the lure of gain, I am confident about the evolution of the gaming world around here.
We meet many people who will believe in your project as long as it does not exceed the expectations and limits that they have set for themselves.
Grass never grows on the road where everyone passes and I am not afraid to get out of my comfort zone to move towards projects that are always more stimulating than the others!
All these people who would think to impose limits on me that are ultimately only theirs only motivate me even more and strengthen me to make the store progress! So thank you to them. ^^
I really appreciate being able to offer you what the world of games has most original and to be able to share with you moments around games. Each game allows me to exchange more and more with you and that is priceless…
I still have a few projects that are out of the ordinary and that I can't wait to show you in the store or in events. Because I like to go off the beaten track and I am not afraid of winding paths, my path is never all mapped out and my road full of mystery and I love that!

An intriguing fact is that Africa is the only continent that spans from the northern temperate zone to the southern temperate zone, making its climatic diversity as diverse as its cultures. Africa’s Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, while its Congo Basin is home to the second largest rainforest on the planet.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"A hero does not hide his tears. A liar does not cry."
We can't always succeed in achieving what we want and sometimes we are disappointed, because what we held dear did not work. But we focus on what did not happen to try to see what we can improve to always progress.
And sometimes it is painful to cling to projects that do not work and then we must let go so as not to remain stuck in this failure. There is nothing wrong with failing, it is also what ends up making us move forward or think of other ways of doing things.
People who tell you that they do not suffer from their failures are probably unfortunately in denial. Failure always triggers suffering in anyone in the first place.
It is what we do with this failure that is important. The first sessions I offered at La Sereno for example were quite difficult for me. I had never hosted with this audience alone before, but only intergenerational events where families were present.
The main difficulty I encountered was the categorical refusal to play games that were too colorful and that looked like children's games. Because yes, many board game designs now are much more attractive than the gray, white and black designs that predominated in the 80s during the rise of board games.
So, it took me at least two or three sessions to convince them that games are not just boxes, but above all interesting and entertaining content.
And then in the end, we ended up playing with more classic games at the beginning, then new ones from time to time and finally now they are happy to discover new games.
It goes to show that with my new approach, they were more likely to want to discover the hidden potential at the heart of board games.

One of the greatest Viking warriors was… a woman
DNA analysis of bones found in a tomb rich in warrior symbols is pushing historians to reconsider the role of women among the Vikings.
Next to her, a sword, an axe, a spear, arrows, a knife, two shields, as well as a sacrificed mare and stallion! The tomb of a great warrior, an expert in military strategy as indicated by the presence of pawns and a game board.
A study of the bones establishes that this skeleton is in fact that of a woman! Excitement among specialists. Of course, the Nordic sagas do mention warrior women. But they are mythological figures.
But in 2017, a DNA analysis confirmed that the tomb never had more than one occupant who is “the first confirmed high-ranking female Viking warrior”. Having "planned, led and taken part in battles", she died around the age of 30. She was 1.70 meters tall, a large size for the time.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Untamed courage, in the hearts of mortals, makes either great heroes or great criminals."
We always have a choice about our actions, no matter what happens to us in life. When faced with events, we can always choose to react negatively and let ourselves be invaded by negativity until it eats away at us. We can also choose to seize it to understand what it weakens in us to become stronger thanks to it.
When we start with a tumultuous story, we can blame the whole world, and believe me I'm not talking in a vacuum... We have all experienced difficult times that have left their mark on us. The difference is knowing what we do with them. Do we let them make us become people who will hurt in return, or do we seize the chance to not become like the people who hurt us?
The choice is always ours and we are the only ones responsible for the people we become and what we make other people suffer afterwards… No, a difficult past does not justify hurting other people…
I have suffered violence, I suffer mockery and mockery on a daily basis, but you will not see me mocking or hurting in return. Simply because I know what it feels like to have suffered and I prefer to offer positivity rather than continue the vicious circle of violence no matter what form it takes!

The Silent Hero: Nicholas Winton and His Unsung Acts of Bravery
In 1938, Nicholas Winton was a well-to-do 29-year-old Briton. However, in the months before World War II broke out in September 1939, he became a hero, saving hundreds of young lives from the clutches of death. In the chaos of the war preparations, he secretly helped 669 Czech children escape Nazi concentration camps.
He organized eight trains to transport these children to Britain and even used his savings to find new homes for them. His only wish was to ensure that these children survived. Winton’s efforts illuminated humanity during one of its darkest times.
Despite the praise, Nicholas Winton remained humble, saying, “To do good is not to make it known. I did not deliberately keep it a secret, but I did not speak of it.” »

Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Thinking against one's time is heroism. But saying it is madness."
I'm certainly going to be crazy like Eugène Ionesco announced, because I'm going to talk about something that goes against my time...
It seems that sometimes hurting people has become fashionable... I wasn't born at a time when bullying was commonplace. I was born at a time when teachers were respected and we were punished by our parents when that wasn't the case.
I was born at a time when bullies were punished by teachers and their own parents... No, bullying, no matter our age, is not a norm!
We see so many cases of bullying or cases of teenage suicide that it seems like it's becoming a "norm". When is it normal to be happy about someone killing themselves?
In my work with children in difficulty, I cannot imagine not intervening if a child is being bullied by another child…
If we let things happen, how can we pretend to be surprised and say we don’t understand why bullying is thriving? It’s not just bickering or an unfunny joke…
If we find it funny to laugh at someone knowing that it will hurt them, then it’s not funny. Hurting others is NOT funny. Can you imagine someone doing the same thing to you or to your loved ones? I don’t think it always makes you laugh as much…
I experience belittling and mockery about myself and through the store by adults (sometimes even older ones) who seem to find it enjoyable.
Fortunately for me, I have been strong and aware of my own value for a few years now and I know that their value judgments are only projections of the discomfort they feel in their own life… But imagine a child or teenager who is already questioning himself.
Everyone thinks as they want, and fortunately, but do not think that bullying will help you overcome the discomfort that is in you. I wish with all my heart that you find peace within yourself, it is so pleasant! Try it, you will see ;)
Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
When geese go from feasting to defending Rome.
The legend of the Capitoline Geese is deeply rooted in the history of Rome.
The story, passed down over the centuries, symbolizes vigilance and divine protection, while inspiring many traditions and rituals.
In 390 BC, the Gauls led by Brennus attacked Rome, forcing the Romans to take refuge on the Capitol.
The sacred geese of Juno alert the Romans of a night attack, allowing Marcus Manlius to repel the Gauls.
The legend of the Capitoline Geese symbolizes vigilance and divine protection, still celebrated today in Rome.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The hero's dream is to be big everywhere and small at his father's house"
I have this ambition, perhaps a little naive, to aspire to bring you closer and make you have a good time thanks to board games and the complicity they bring.
So far, I haven't done too badly, because I am present in different places to offer you games that are as classic as they are original and try to contribute in my small way to the development of the gaming world!
I love being with you and seeing you enjoy the moments around the games and chatting with you around different types of games. These moments are as unique for me as they are for you and I am always very happy to see you again at each of our game times or at the store.
And then continuing to be resilient in the face of unpleasant people is also part of my role as a local store and parcel relay. Always smiling and laughing with nice people is an integral part of why I created the store.
I enjoy making people smile and talk to nice people and learn to tolerate those who are less so. When I can make you smile again or make you laugh, part of my mission is already fulfilled. ;)
I hope to be a person who encourages you to be yourself through games and our discussions and help reassure you of your importance to me. I gladly accept to be a playful guide in our moments of exchange and complicity.
I also loved going back to see my grandmother in my home region and letting go of my shell to be pampered in turn. She always made me feel like a child, full of joy and hope.
She is no longer here now, but I aspire to continue to bring you smiles, joy and the self-confidence that you too deserve. ;)

Did you know?
Hello everyone!
The Amazons: These warrior women really existed, according to this discovery!
These warrior women on horseback could well have existed during Antiquity. In Azerbaijan, archaeologists have found graves of women buried with arrows, and having ridden horses.
For the ninth of his twelve labors, Hercules had to steal the belt of Hippolyta, daughter of Ares, the god of war, but above all queen of the Amazons. These legendary women lived without men, rode horses, shot bows, went into battle and died as heroines. Legend even has it that they cut off their right breasts in order to be better archers.
This people of powerful women, described in Greek mythology, may have really existed, as suggested by a new archaeological discovery in Azerbaijan.
The necklaces found in the tombs contained carnelian, a semi-precious stone. “It is often seen when people are high priestesses or goddesses. So it's a brand of a woman with status.”
Have a nice day and good game ;)

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"A hero is a man who accomplishes with dedication and determination, courage and competence, the tasks that his time imposes on everyone."
I am always very happy to stay up to date with what is happening in the world of board games to be able to advise you on the game that suits you or your loved ones. It is obvious that with the impressive number of game releases per year, even we cannot succeed in following everything, even if we try our best.
On a daily basis, given the current context, you always have to be innovative to succeed in standing out from the crowd and you always offer things that suit you. To be able to always offer you what is most classic to most surprising in the gaming world. I am always very happy to introduce you to games in store or during external events. These moments of complicity on a daily basis allow me to evolve as a store manager, but also as a person.
Not to mention the "competition" (you know that this term always makes me laugh, because I only seek to be better than I was and not someone else :) ). Who by (I suppose) principle of opposition, allows themselves to belittle your store, report your content, have you insulted in the street by their friends when you walk alone, and so on, because it's so funny it seems...^^
I'm far too focused on the store and its constant evolution that I don't have time to pick a fight with anyone... And even if I had the time, what's the point? Not sure that telling someone off is all that fun, because those who do that seem more and more bitter each time. And then, we are all human beings with our qualities and our faults, but that does not make us better or worse than anyone else...
Too bad that these people only have that, because they must be damn sad... I only wish them to find the happiness that will soothe them if one day they manage to realize that the greatest cause of their unhappiness is themselves... As for me, since I am rather resilient, I will always manage to make meanness and trials a springboard towards new successes and new developments in my life. Staying in line with my principles and my values is my daily goal.
Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
And what about women?
Apart from Joan of Arc, it is not easy to find an example of a woman who wore armor, as knightesses have been relegated to the dustbin of history. Some took part in the crusades, as chroniclers of the time recount.
In 1097, Florine of Burgundy, dressed in armor, set off for Jerusalem with her husband Sven. Together, they led 1,500 knights. Florine fought until her last breath when their convoy was attacked.
Another case is that of Marguerite de Beverley. In 1187, she arrived in Jerusalem and fought for two weeks: "Although a woman, I had the appearance of a warrior, I carried a weapon." Some even joined orders of chivalry.
In Catalonia, the Order of the Axe was founded in 1149 in honor of the women who took part in the defense of the city of Tortosa.
A century later, in Italy, the Order of the Glorious Saint Mary, reserved for noble women, was also created. Some women played the role of war leaders – most often because of the death or captivity of their husbands.
Jeanne de Montfort took command of the army of Brittany when her husband was taken prisoner in the War of the Breton Succession. As a skilled strategist, she repelled the attackers during the siege of Hennebont in 1342.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The biggest secret is to always know that you're going to win."
When you're passionate about what you do, you always end up reaping the fruits of the work you've sown. When you're honest with people and offer products and services that suit them, you can only win.
Winning fun moments shared between my players with the fun nuggets found in the store, or in game animations when we play together. Winning smiles, laughter, moments of complicity, passionate conversations, etc.
No matter what happens, I know deep down that I'm always a winner, because I'll always have something to share with you. ;) Good or bad, each experience in the store makes me progress as a human being and I'm very grateful to you.
These positive moments that we share remain for me my daily victory within the store. Every initiative in the direction of the gaming world in Vaison and its surroundings is a victory for the recognition of the world of board games.
Sometimes still elitist, I strive on my small scale in Vaison to offer you something other than only games from big publishers who will not see the difference if you buy their games or not. Small publishers do see it...
These small publishers and creators of talents less known because less distributed due to lack of advertising as a game from a big publisher would be.
These small publishers who end up being discovered through hard work and hard work by big distributors and can finally earn something from their work and talent. All this sometimes thanks to small shops or small distributors who believed in them from the beginning. And that is a very big victory!
Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Knights: superheroes of the Middle Ages
Bayard, Du Guesclin, Godefroi de Bouillon… These armored vigilantes perform exploits to bring order to medieval society. Hear ye, hear ye! We present to you these supermen.
In the Middle Ages, superheroes are them, the knights. A lady is in distress? They rush to her rescue, like Bayard who saves a gentleman's wife from dishonor at the siege of Brescia, in Italy.
King Philip Augustus nearly loses his life on the battlefield? Immediately, Guillaume des Barres, an illustrious knight, draws his sword and saves him, in the middle of the Battle of Bouvines in 1214.
Superheroes, we tell you. A thousand years later, they continue to fascinate. There are countless films, books or video games devoted to them.
The values of honor and loyalty that they defend, like their warlike feats, partly explain the interest that they continue to arouse.
Have a good day and good game ;)
