Rainbow Mountain (Peru)
Vinicunca, nicknamed the “mountain of seven colors” or “rainbow mountain”, is a mountain in Peru. It peaks at an altitude of 5,200 m. It is located in the Cusco region, in the heart of the Andes.
Originally, Winikunka is the Quechua name for this mountain. Wini is a term used to refer to the black stones, which are very numerous in the region, and kunka means “neck”, and refers to the fineness and smallness of this mountain.
According to the investigation by the Landscape Office of the Directorate of Decentralization of Culture of Cusco, the colorations of the seven-colored mountain are due to its mineralogical composition.
The pink is attributable to the mixture of red clay, mud and sand. The whitish color results from the mixture of quartz sand and marl rich in calcium carbonate. The red is composed of ferruginous clays and clays belonging to the Neogene. The green is due to the mixture of phyllites and mafic clays. The earthy brown is produced by the conglomerate of magnesian rocks belonging to the Quaternary era. The mustard yellow is attributable to calcareous sandstones rich in sulphide minerals2.
Many indigenous populations live in small hamlets located in these mountains.
The main inhabitants are Quechuas, who are descendants of the Inca populations.
Originally covered in snow, Vinicunca subsequently suffered from global warming and revealed its colors since 2015. It is a landscape highly protected by local populations.
It is in this landscape that residents breed, particularly llamas, horses and alpacas.

Yum yum island: fun pleasures shared with you all year round.
Since 2018, I have been lucky to enjoy unique fun moments with you throughout the year and I can never thank you enough for that!
Everything started with Mac Donald from Saint Romain en Viennois (thanks to them) who trusted me at the start of the game activities.
And then, little by little, more and more of you asked me for entertainment times and I am very grateful to you.
I followed you with my eyes closed to make the most of it and be able to offer you personalized play times that suit you!
As the name of the store indicates, I didn't just want to offer you attractive prices, I especially wanted to develop game activities around the store.
I am very happy to see players create connections and friendships during the playtime that I offer. This was one of my objectives when proposing playtime: to bring people together.
All the moments that we share with acquaintances, friends, with our loved ones around games and in general are unique and precious moments frozen in time.
As long as I can contribute with my modest little stones to develop the playful world, then my main goal is achieved!
I knew almost 6 years ago, when no one yet believed in it, that there was a receptive audience for board games in Vaison and its surroundings!
I am happy to be able to say that now every day, in Vaison, we play the game! ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Brazil)
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is a national park in Brazil located in Maranhão.
The park has an area of 1,550 km and is located in the northeast of Maranhão about 270 km from São Luís. The park includes a set of dunes and interdune lagoons.
The Lençóis Maranhenses are certainly the natural jewel of North East Brazil, if not the entire country.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry would certainly have chosen this “desert” for the meeting between the aviator and the Little Prince…
This marvelous white sand desert extends over nearly 155,000 hectares, an infinite and changing landscape of pristine dunes whose particularity is to offer a multitude of freshwater lagoons more than half the year.
With an average temperature close to 30°C throughout the year, this dune landscape suggests an arid environment, subject to a desert climate.
The rainfall is high, close to that of the Amazon forest, between 1400 mm and 1700 mm of precipitation per year and the rainy season mainly extends from December to April.
During this period, water accumulates in the hollows of the dunes and creates a multitude of miraculous lagoons.

Rainforest: after the rain comes the good weather.
To grow, a plant needs sun but also water. The same is true for a business.
It is always rewarding to see a company grow and progress over time, but difficulty allows you to rethink your strategy and strengthen your company.
Difficulties often leave us in the lurch for a moment, but when you care about your business, you find the perfect solution.
And then, the difficulties also allow us to develop in a better way and even to obtain even better than we had anticipated.
Because when everything flows naturally, we might tend to rest on our laurels, while difficulties are sources of reflection and progress...
How ? Because difficulty forces us to step out of our comfort zone by questioning our practices to adapt them even better to what suits us.
When everything goes as planned, we don't think beyond what we had planned, while difficulties, although complex, always allow us to evolve.
Sometimes in the wrong direction, with errors, but these errors are sources of experience and we do not start from scratch; and sometimes in a good way, when we can adapt to the changes made and make them a source of professional and personal enrichment.
I am very happy to have been able to learn and enrich myself from each personal and professional experience and to continue to be able to do so on a daily basis...
Good or bad experience, they teach me on a daily basis how to evolve. There is always something to remember from each one.
So, thank you all for sharing my daily experience ;)

Iguazu Falls (Argentina)
Iguazú Falls comes from the guarani: y (“water”) and guasu (“great”), literally “the great waters”.
Located in the middle of the tropical forest, on the border between Argentina (80%) and Brazil (20%), national parks have been created.
This set of 275 waterfalls forming a front of approximately three kilometers. All of the waterfalls discharge up to six million liters of water per second.
Due to the drought affecting southern Brazil during the summer of 2021, the volume of water in Iguazú Falls is reduced by 80% compared to normal.
The highest of them, the Garganta del Diablo reaches 80 m in height.
They are among the most impressive in the world.
They were the scene of films such as Furia in Bahia for OSS 117 (1965), Moonraker, film from the James Bond series (1979), Miami Vice: Two Cops in Miami (2006), One Day on Earth (2007), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), OSS 117: Rio No Longer Responds (2009) or even Black Panther by Ryan Coogler (2018).

Captain’s war: always on deck in good times and bad.
In everyday life, there are good times and bad times, business is no exception.
In almost 6 years of existence, I have been affected by Covid, inflation and slander.
Covid has allowed me better daily organization and a better balance between professional and personal lives.
The inflation of offering an even more scalable and varied range of games, to adapt even better to you who have been with me since the beginning or joined me along the way.
And the backbiting armored me as a trader from a large family of Vaisonnais traders had advised me. Thank you :)
I am still very lucky to have this ability to know how to absorb everything that is negative in order to ultimately be able to draw something positive from it. And that’s a real chance!
I am not and will never be stopped by the bad elements that confront me, quite the contrary; they are all the more important drivers of evolution and readjustment.
In almost 6 years of existence, I have been delighted to develop an entertainment offering that suits you, to offer you special games and to grow and expand the store.
The lively moments that I share with you all delight me as much as each other, because you are all unique and that’s great. Thank you for these moments. ;)
The classics and well-known games are excellent, but I like to introduce you to lesser-known fun nuggets, thank you for trusting me and playing the game. ;)
Since June 2018, I have evolved a lot and made the store evolve. I am proud of what I offer you on a daily basis, even if I must admit that I sacrifice myself to test games... I do it with pleasure as a curious serial gamer and even more for you, to be able to present them to you or make them play ;)
I have always been on deck to bring my modest chest of playful treasures and I will continue to be there through thick and thin by holding the helm firmly!
My primary goal is and will always remain: to share with you my passion for board games.

Atacama Desert (Chile)
Blocked between the ocean trench and the Andes mountain range, the Atacama Desert is known to be one of the driest regions on Earth.
Certain areas can in fact be completely deprived of precipitation for more than 50 years.
This natural barrier is made up of active volcanoes reaching 6,000 meters, surrounded by turquoise lagoons, geysers and deep valleys.
The Atacama Desert is renowned for its starry nights due to its location in the intertropical zone, combining extreme drought, altitude and very little light pollution.
Several international astronomical observatories have been established in this “extraterrestrial” desert where NASA tested small vehicles before they went to explore Mars.
The four-wheeled robot called Zoë found colonies of bacteria and lichens on two distinct sites in this desert, which nevertheless has the lowest density of organic activity on Earth.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Costa Ruana: put your pawns in place and readjust your plans.
At the heart of an independent boutique, there are moments simpler than others.
I like to have strategies to develop the store and sustain partnerships that contribute to the development of the gaming world in Vaison and its surroundings.
It is more important to me to develop the gaming world on my modest scale of a small shop, than to obtain any personal merits.
I only compete with myself, and no one else, to make whatever contribution I think makes sense to the gaming world.
For me, a board game is a unique moment that we share with people we like. It is much more than a simple box, simple pawns, simple dice or simple cards.
When you enjoy playing board games and you think back to a game you played, you remember the people you played with, the emotions you felt or made people feel while playing, and a unique moment suspended in time.
Putting boxes on a table, not for me... My players know very well that if I put a game on a table, it's to open it and play with them...
And then there are other moments, less simple, where you have to know how to play against an unfavorable hand...
Being taken for what you are not in playing the werewolf of Thiercellieux, for example, is nice, it can help you win a game...
Being taken for what you are not in real life, "by competition" for example, is less pleasant, and it doesn't serve much purpose except to show your double game to the eyes of all…
In real life, as in games, knowing how to win is good, but learning when you lose is even better...
In real life I play fair and I can look at myself in the mirror without flinching and sleep with a clear conscience.
In a werewolf I would be the witch who, in the shadows and in silence, can end or continue a game.
In both cases, I wouldn't play the part where the dice are loaded and we don't play the game!

Mount Roraima (Venezuela)
Mount Roraima is a mountain in South America shared between Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela.
Discovered and explored late in the 19th century, Mount Roraima was not climbed until 1884 by a British expedition.
An account of one of these expeditions largely inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write his adventure novel The Lost World in 1912.
Its highlight is the Maverick Stone. Inside the plateau there are numerous caves and chasms.
The watercourses which run through the plateau and which do not escape directly in the form of waterfalls end up disappearing into the rock through the network of caves
This water which flows from Mount Roraima in the form of waterfalls, such as Salto Roraima, or underground gives rise to numerous streams at its feet, some temporary, others permanent.
To the east of the mountain is the source of the Rio Cotingo, a river flowing into Brazil and a sub-tributary of the Amazon.

Trial of the temples: building your store stone by stone.
As we build a building with time and experience, I am moving the store forward stone by stone.
There are stones that hold in place and then others that we must abandon along the way to make the most judicious choices and allow our temple to stand.
A broken or poorly balanced stone does not provide lasting balance when you want to build over time.
We then put strategies in place and make sure to place the right elements in them to progress gradually.
Sometimes we lose a little along the way, but we realize that what we lost brings us something even better.
When an investment strategy does not work, we must start from this experience to try a more constructive strategy.
I am very happy to have developed certain partnerships, even if they stopped, they were very enriching.
So, thank you to these game libraries, associations, structures or individuals who helped me understand where I was making a mistake.
From my mistakes, I learn and progress with more wisdom than before.
Thank you for showing me another point of view and allowing me to develop the store and the activities on a solid base.
All these people who have contributed and have been contributing for years now to enrich my playful temple will recognize themselves.
I am very happy to share these daily challenges with you and I will continue to change my strategy if it is not in line with what I intend to bring as a modest playful contribution on my part.
Thank you to everyone who makes my ludical temple a place of sharing, passion and of course games. ;)

Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city from the 15th century in Peru. The 172 buildings extend approximately 530 meters long and 200 meters wide.
At 2,438 meters above sea level, the ruins straddle the ridge between two peaks: Huayna Picchu, meaning “young mountain” and Machu Picchu, meaning “old mountain” in Quechua.
A masterpiece of Inca architecture, it was abandoned before its construction was completed during the collapse of the Inca Empire. A sacred city forgotten for centuries, the site is said to have hosted the emperor Pachacútec.
It is Huayna Picchu which overlooks the site and which can be seen in most photographs of the city.
Around Huayna Picchu and on both sides of the city flows the Vilcanota-Urubamba river which describes a large arc below a 600 meter cliff.

Torres del Paine National Park (Chile)
Torres del Paine National Park is a national park in Chile located between the Andes mountain range and the Patagonian steppe.
Between 3.5 million years ago and 14,000 years ago, glaciations shaped the landscape to remove the upper layers of rock and give the park its current appearance.
Covering an area of 181,414 hectares, its main function is the conservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species and genetic diversity of the Paine massif.
Its surface is characterized by its landscape heterogeneity, where mountains, glaciers, valleys, ponds and large lakes converge.
It takes its name from three emblematic granite formations of the del Paine massif: the Torres (Towers) del Paine.
12 million years ago, in the Miocene, the northward movement of the boundary between the Antarctic plate and the Nazca plate caused the intrusion of a 10 km by 20 km laccolith with a thickness of 2,000 mr.
This intrusion created the heart of the Paine massif. The territory also has some small, older intrusions dating from 29 million years ago.

The magic of board games.
Entering the immersive world of board games is rediscovering the simple joys of gathering around a table.
From the laughter that erupts during a round of bluffing, the friendly competition that fuels strategic battles, or the suspenseful anticipation of a surprising twist, they foster a sense of togetherness and lasting memories.
Board games have evolved considerably over time.
They can emphasize strategy and resource management or encourage collaboration and teamwork.
With such a wide range of choices, there's a board game for everyone, making it an inclusive and accessible form of entertainment.
Physically manipulating playing pieces, rolling dice and shuffling cards engages our senses and stimulates cognitive functions.
Board games offer face-to-face interaction, eye contact, and the ability to read facial expressions and body language.
These social elements help improve communication skills, empathy and the development of emotional intelligence.
Beyond their entertainment value, many games promote critical thinking, problem solving, and strategic planning.
Players must analyze complex situations, make decisions and adapt to changing circumstances.
Additionally, games often incorporate themed elements that introduce players to historical events, scientific concepts, or cultural phenomena, making learning an engaging and immersive experience.
Online platforms provide virtual gaming experiences, connecting individuals from different parts of the world.
Board game conventions and get-togethers create spaces where enthusiasts can share their love for the hobby, discover new games, and forge friendships.
Digital integration, companion apps, and augmented reality have expanded gameplay possibilities, enhancing immersion without losing the charm of physical components.
Additionally, crowdfunding platforms have allowed independent designers to bring their creative visions to life, driving a wave of unique and unconventional games that push the boundaries of what a board game can be.
Board games provide respite, reminding us of the joy of human connection and the thrill of shared experiences.
They bridge the generation gap, promote social interaction, and provide a tangible and immersive entertainment option.
So gather your friends, and let the magic of board games transport you to a world of fun, laughter and unforgettable memories.

Lavandula, fairy of legend.
Another version of the legend says that the Lavandula Fairy wept, not on her drawing, but directly on the Provençal soil, giving birth to the lavender fields.
Once upon a time there was a pretty fairy with blue eyes and blond hair named Lavandula.
She was looking for a place to settle down after a long journey where she had twirled lightly from the Luberon to the Lure mountain, via Ventoux.
She leafed through the pages of her notebook, where she had drawn the places crossed.
She stopped on the page of Haute Provence, whose then arid and wild landscapes were sad.
So sad that Lavandula began to sob and purple tears streamed down her notebook.
Wanting to dry the tears that had smeared her drawing, she passed her hand. In vain.
This intense purple spread all over the page.
In order to repair this error, Lavandula drew a large section of blue sky above this new landscape, to make forget this everywhere widespread mauve.
The lavender fields were born and since then they have been lighting up Provence!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
June 2023 and 5 years with you.
Again this year, many of you participated in the various events that I proposed during the outdoor activities!
A little more shy with the game offered in store, thank you to those who tried their luck and left with their souvenir photo and their surprise. ;)
You made some nice and beautiful reds and greens… ;)
We will meet during the year for various and varied games, life-size or normal. :)
From the moment you want to continue following the fun adventure by my side, I will always be there to advise you and discuss board games with you.
I like to make you discover games as much as to discover them thanks to you. This exchange between us is very enriching and I am happy that we can have them on a daily basis.
Whether for services or games, you are always welcome for good conversations around games or in general.
From first to fifth year, I am grateful to have been able to share around board games with you.
I will always be satisfied with these moments and discussions around the games that we have on a daily basis.
Every day, I remember your smiles, our exchanges, your curiosity, our sharing. ;)

Did you know?
Hello everyone !
The Dragon of Mondragon.
The village of Mondragon is Mont Dragon, surmounted by its Château du Dragonnet!
The Drac, a winged, amphibian monster, had the face and shoulders of a young man on a reptile body (as described by Frédéric Mistral) and resided in the Rhône.
He went out regularly to feast on the inhabitants, especially the young girls, terrorizing the population by ransoming them.
Tired of undergoing the incessant assaults of the monster, the lord of the village, Guilhem, launched a desperate appeal.
Anyone who managed to kill the beast would receive his daughter Guillemette in marriage and the lordship of the village as a reward.
One day, a valiant knight, Arnaud, presented himself to take up the challenge.
At the cost of an epic fight, Arnaud brought down the beast, marrying Guillemette and becoming the new lord of the village, renamed Mondragon!
Good day and good game ;)

Did you know?
Hello everyone !
The Yule log that…poops (Catalonia)
In Catalonia, there is a unique tradition called Tió de Nadal, which vulgarly translates to “Christmas log”.
The hollowed-out log comes with a face, legs, and a little red hat, and starting December 8, families “feed” it every night, filling it with gifts and sweets.
They also put a blanket over the log to keep it warm.
On Christmas Eve, the log is placed in the (unlit) fireplace, and family members take turns hitting it with a stick, ordering it to defecate the gifts and sweets, while singing traditional songs.
After the beating, family members reach under the blanket of the log to retrieve the presents.
Good day and good game ;)

June 2022: 4 years store.
I had the pleasure in June 2022 to share a privileged moment with all of you during the game activities and during the store's anniversary on Saturday June 25, 2022.
I didn't even stammer too much during the speech in store and yet it's not my forte...^^
And as always my guests were there and ready to play and have a good time together.
After looking for the key game with One Key, practicing different challenges with Olémains, for some you even played werewolf at 45!
I will repeat myself, but I love your enthusiasm and your unfailing enthusiasm when it comes to discovering the personalized animations that I am preparing for you.
I like to design unique game times, because I love to offer you a unique experience like you...
Animating with you is for me really playing the game of the playful world.
When I think that five years ago, I struggled to offer game animations, because no one knew what it consisted of.
And then, I had partners who trusted me like Mac Donald of Saint Romain in Viennois or town halls.
Then finally, I am now delighted to be able to say that my outdoor activities are complete and booked in advance. :)
This 4th year allowed me to start a very positive turn for the animations and for the sales in store or online.
I'm so happy that you continue to be present on a daily basis that I always have new ideas that come to me to share even more original times with you. ;)
I am satisfied to have held on despite the covid and to continue to love sharing with you my passion for board games. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Did you know?
Hello everyone !
Lucky cobwebs (Ukraine)
Would you feel lucky if you found a spider web on your Christmas tree?
Probably not. But Ukrainians associate cobwebs with good omens.
This legend is actually taken from a popular tale, in which a poor family grew a Christmas tree from a pine cone.
The children were excited to decorate it, but the family could not afford decorations.
Sensing the family's desperation, the spiders spun shimmering webs of silk around the tree, which turned to silver and gold when the sun rose in the morning, leaving the family with a beautifully decorated tree.
Even today, Ukrainian families decorate their trees with cobwebs for good luck.
Good day and good game ;)
