Hello everyone !
A well-established tradition!
The first Olympic Games are reputed to have taken place in 776 BC. BC on the initiative of Iphitos, king of Elis.
This year marks the beginning of the Olympic calendar, according to which the years are grouped into Olympiads, and year 1 of the Greek calendar adopted in 260 BC.
However, it is likely that the Games were even older, given the abundance of offerings from the Geometric period found at Olympia.
From then on, the Games gained importance throughout ancient Greece, but there are nearly 300 sports meetings of the same type, the agones.
Under the Roman Empire, the Olympic Games formed, with the Pythian Games, the Nemean Games, and the Isthmian Games, a cycle of sacred games, one of which returns each year.
The athlete who wins prizes at these four Panhellenic Games is designated by the title “periodonikes”.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Everything to gain!
I hesitated a lot 6 years ago before opening the store... And then, I told myself that I had nothing to lose and rather everything to gain! As the sayings go, “He who tries nothing, achieves nothing” and “He who lives will see”…
I hesitated, because the gaming world was a little present but spread out a lot around Vaison. I wondered if I would have enough players or those close to players to be able to offer board games in Vaison and its surroundings.
And not to simplify things, I gave myself the additional objective of specializing also with independent games, always very interesting, but nevertheless less known to the general public...
And since “luck favors the bold”, always according to a saying, I ended up taking a year to mature my project and train myself in the necessary tools and launched myself.
Since I love challenges, I said to myself why not also offer Vaison moments where we Play the Game!
So, alongside in-store and online sales, I launched in-store game events which were going pretty well until covid.
And word of mouth has meant that private and public structures have trusted me to provide support to their residents and employees.
And then as a local business, I offered cyberspace which was very useful when it was still available. Too bad the abuse from some people forced me to put an end to it…
However, I remain focused every day on the photocopying, scanning and Pick Up parcel services that are useful to you on a daily basis.
When I look back on its first six years, I have gained a lot with all of you on a daily basis.
I matured, learned, made mistakes in order to progress better later, “braced myself and let it be said” as a great businesswoman from Vaison had advised me…
But that’s how I am, I don’t know how to do things by halves, but I have learned to stay calm in the face of life’s challenges.
I also don't know how to reciprocate harm when it is done to me... You don't heal a wound by moving a knife...
All these negative and above all mostly positive experiences allowed me to gain from it!
Thank you again to everyone for sharing my fun journey and living your passion for board games with me. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
The original games events!
Many legends surround the origin of the ancient Olympic Games.
One says that Heracles built the Olympic stadium and the surrounding buildings in honor of his father Zeus, after having completed his twelve labors, and would have organized with his four brothers a race in which he crowned the winner with a branch olive tree.
He would also have defined the length of the Olympic stadium by surveying it with the length of his foot while taking 600 steps forward.
The competition program includes equestrian events (two- or four-horse chariots) and athletic events known as gymnastics (running over several distances, discus throwing, long jump, javelin throwing, pentathlon, wrestling, pugilism and pankration).
Discus, length and javelin do not give an Olympic title, but are part of the five pentathlon events with the stadium race and wrestling.

A daily victory!
When I see the playful world that is shared more and more on a daily basis, I tell myself that we are lucky to have so many choices of board games...
The more varied the choice of games and adapted to all of us, the more we want to start or get back into board games.
And then, sharing a fun moment around a table is so unique and enjoyable that it would be a shame to deprive yourself of it.
We have talented creators who allow us to play in different universes and with various styles of game mechanics, from the simplest to the most complex…
The daily victory is to succeed in bringing together amateurs and seasoned gamers to share a pleasant moment together.
My greatest victory is seeing you fully enjoy the moment around the games during outdoor activities and events.
Seeing you create or bond with other players through games is a huge reward for me!
So as long as you live the fun adventure to the fullest with me, I will continue to offer you games and activities as unique as you all!

The second most decorated athlete of the games, Larissa Latynina, represented the Soviet Union between 1956 and 1964. She won 18 medals in artistic gymnastics including 9 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze, an extraordinary performance.
It is the Finnish Paavo Nurmi who holds the title of third athlete with the most medals of the Games. His favorite discipline is none other than athletics, and he won 12 Olympic medals between 1920 and 1928. His record? 9 gold medals and 3 silver!

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
I had a dream !
I have always dreamed of working in a field that brings people together and brings smiles to their faces...
This is also why I worked as a waitress with a smile and motivation, because in the restaurant people come together to enjoy a good time.
When I worked at Picard, I carefully learned about the cold chain process and product compositions to be able to best advise customers.
And then I moved towards entertainment for children and teenagers, because providing them with support and a smile on a daily basis is great.
Without forgetting what we receive in return: the smiles, the moments of complicity, the activities that make them grow and gain self-confidence, among other things…
I often meet up with the children and teenagers I had during the post-Christmas events in the town where I come from. It’s always a pleasure to see how they have evolved.
I may be naive, but I think that you can bring people together and get closer to them when you have the necessary open-mindedness to do so…
And so I took the chance to have a commercial premises to launch my slightly crazy, but so exciting project of creating the store so that in Vaison we too can Play the Game!
Because beyond looking at game boxes to read what is written there, I have tested the majority of the games that I offer you.
For what ?
Quite simply because, who can tell you about games better than a passionate person who has been playing since they were a child?
I continue to play every day and I am curious about all types of games long before being simply a store that sells games.
And then the ultimate project concerning the store, it was for me the consecration with the animations!
Rather present in store before covid, I can now offer you and enjoy exquisite moments during outdoor activities with you!
I had a dream, on my modest scale, to succeed in bringing people together and I believe that I am in the process of making it come true, so thank you for your daily trust and enthusiasm, once again. ;)

Hello everyone !
The Olympics that make history!
Certain editions of the Olympic Games have therefore marked history and greatly changed them.
If women were excluded from the Games in 1896 because it went against the general ideology but also against that of Pierre de Coubertin, initiator of the modern Games, they still participated in the Olympic Games in 1900 without having been invited.
The women present were able to compete in tennis and golf events.
It was on this occasion that two of the first women to participate in the Olympic Games in 1900 won two gold medals: Charlotte Cooper won the title of Olympic tennis champion and Margaret Abbott that of Olympic golf champion.

When I see what I started with 6 years ago and where the store is today, I am very happy and proud.
Proud because my daily involvement allows us to further develop the world of board games in the area and to bring in even more players. ;)
Very happy because for most of you, you have been there since the beginning of the store and that is priceless!
I landed in a very discreet gaming world at the start and non-existent game activities, with player development in Vaison and its surroundings.
I am quite proud to be able to say that I have brought my modest, playful touch to Vaison and its surroundings via dynamic activities that adapt to each of you.
I hope to continue to bring you my enthusiasm around board games through activities, in the store and online via the blog and video of quick games that I offer you daily.
If you would like to join us in the gaming world, you are welcome. Young and old, beginners or more experienced, there is something for everyone!
The “Discovery Games” events at the store aim to introduce newbies to the world of board games.
So, don’t hesitate to come join me to open up to board games! ;)
I am hopeful that the gaming world continues to be as dynamic and humanly enriching.

Hello everyone !
The games are open to all!
The rules for participating in the Olympic Games have evolved significantly.
Originally, only amateur athletes were allowed to participate in the Olympic Games: participation was prohibited for professional athletes.
Professional athletes were only allowed to participate in the Olympic Games from 1981.
Women have also been banned from participating in the Olympic Games in the past: they were in fact excluded from the 1896 Games.
They only had the right to participate officially from 1900, but not in all events.
However, since 2007, the Olympic charter has required the presence of women in all sports.
The evolution of the Olympic Games also led to the appearance of the Paralympic Games in 1960 and the creation of the Youth Olympic Games in 2010, reserved for athletes aged 15 to 18.

-You, these golden clients who join me in entertainment and with whom I always share unique and warm moments in Vaison or elsewhere! Thank you, Grazie, Thanks, Gracias ;)
-You, the CCI of Vaucluse for my benevolence, digital, originality and my agility trophy nominations during the 2021 Réussir au Féminin trophies! Thanks to the CCI and Claire for her advice before the store opened.

A little point of view
Hello everyone !
So I have some thanks to give and I will save the best people for another post because we always save the best for last ;)
So let's start with my fan club which we don't know about ^^:
- if you didn't like the new products last time AJ & Co. you should tell me rather than giving me 1 out of 5 on Google. :) And who knows, try to see if there isn't something you might like in it, or come see me so I can explain them to you, it's even better ;)
- on several Google files of other traders with famous ratings, we can see that they too suddenly became racist at the same time as me, like that, poof, overnight! :) What a coincidence ! ;)
- on the other hand, if because I don't have the Internet I am racist, my advice is still good despite everything, but is no longer so when you have to buy a game with a voucher that they offer you. :) That’s good, you will only be able to use them elsewhere this year only. ;)
- no intimidation, insults and harassment are not “normal” my dear AJ & Co., that’s what it says! Whether it happens to teenagers or adults, I would NEVER be on the side of the bullies! And 6 years like that really and without taking revenge, that’s resilience! Well done Play the Game Vaison! :)
-well done my dear AJ & Co. you got a little word from me in return, which I know you won't like. :) Enjoy it my dear AJ & Co., it's your glory day ;) I don't like your actions and words either, but I'll live with it ;).
As I told you face to face at the store (because no, I don't need to sneak up on you ;) ), I wouldn't retort, I'm not like you and that would be okay. the importance in the life of my business that you do not have. ;)
Thank you to these people who allowed me to grow through the trials they put me through and continue to put me through. ;)
For teenagers and people who experience harassment or meanness or jealousy, you don't have any of the problems that these people like to invent for you!
You will always only be put down by people who don't feel good about themselves and envy your strength or simply the person you are who force them to confront the problems they have and don't want to solve. …
If you think they are your friends, they are not, friends support you and don't tear you down.
Believe in yourself because you deserve it! I believe in you and I like to see you carry out the projects that are important to you ;)
It was important that I dot the i's, not for myself, but for those who suffer and who remain silent.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
There will be sport!
Board games are not just games sitting quietly around a table.
Many games are played or can be played outside to have fun while enjoying the good weather.
I am thinking, for example, of molki, the game of papattes, kub and many other outdoor games which are just brilliant!
And many games can also be adapted to make them a little more sporty…
Have you ever tried to play jungle speed by putting the totem on the other side of the room you are playing in?
Don't leave anything lying around because it can quickly end up becoming anything. But it promises eventful games... ;)
We can also adapt games to make them life-size formats where we are at the heart of the game.
For example, this is what I did for the 5th anniversary by offering you a giant Mad Trip in the store!
What a pleasure to have seen you having fun enjoying the course that I have proposed to you, both the youngest and the oldest!
For the store's 6th anniversary, I plan to offer you an original game to celebrate with you!
Brain gymnastics is always relevant whether we play a game outdoors or around a table, because we have to admit, we generally like to win. ;)
We know that we cannot win all the time, but at least we will have won in strategy, in deduction, in logic, in resources, but above all in good times shared around board games.
In short, we will continue to move to play the game in Vaison and elsewhere. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

6 years with you, thank you!
Hello everyone !
From June 24 to 29, to celebrate the store's 6th anniversary, there will be not 1, not 2, not 3, but 6 board games to win!
From 30 euros of purchase at the store during the anniversary week, a participation form will be added to the anniversary game box to win 1 of the 6 games.
There will therefore not be 1 winner, but 6 winners!
Draw Friday July 1st at 7 p.m. on Facebook live!

Hello everyone !
From ancient Greek games to modern Olympic games!
The concept of the Olympic Games initially appeared in Ancient Greece.
At the time, the Olympic competitions were made up of gymnastics events (running, javelin throwing, shot put, wrestling, pentathlon, etc.) but also horse racing events (chariot races).
Today, more modern disciplines are represented.
A total of 45 disciplines were to be represented at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 for a total of 339 events!
The first modern Summer Olympic Games took place in 1896 in Greece, in Athens, and the first Winter Olympic Games took place in France, in Chamonix, in 1924.

In Vaison, we play the game!
Almost 6 years ago, I opened the store with the aim of developing the fun world of board games in Vaison and its surroundings.
Several attacks later, I made sure to still hold the bar firmly, sometimes with gritted teeth, but always with determination.
When I opened the store, there were no toy libraries and other game stores in Vaison and that was a shame... ;)
I took the risky gamble of opening a board game store in a slightly more isolated street in the city center of Vaison.
And then, I offered a stand at the games festival with the mistigri baronnies toy library.
And one thing led to another, or rather word of mouth, game activities began at Mac Donald in Saint Romain.
And everything came together, to my greatest happiness with activities with game libraries, town halls, associations and various private and public structures, including Sereno for example…
The store's opening audience grew to more and more gamers, but in the beginning, discovery was at the heart of the store.
This is also why I wanted to continue to develop game discovery activities with “Jeux discover” within the store.
Initiating board games doesn't scare me, you are welcome to discover a daily game of games together around a table where we create good memories.
Because the more players we have, the more we play!
Since the start of the store, I not only wanted to sell board games in store and online, but also to play and help gamists and amateurs in the sector play!
Thank you to all those who participate with me on a daily basis in this magnificent game of the playful world!

The first Olympic games
The first Olympic Games were organized in the 8th century BC, in Olympia, Greece.
They took place every four years for 12 centuries.
Then, in the 4th century AD, all pagan festivals having been banned by Emperor Theodore I, the Olympic Games disappeared.
However, the sporting tradition was resurrected, around 1,500 years later, during the first modern Olympic Games, which took place in Greece in 1896.

Daily golden moments with you!
An independent store is a daily race, although I'm not looking for the gold medal.
A podium of personal glory doesn’t interest me either…
I have never tried to be better than anyone except myself.
For me, everyone has room to develop their desires and passions.
So I really don’t understand the point of the principle of “competition” which pushes some people to put obstacles in the way of others…
The day is not coming when you will see me belittling or trying to destroy someone, even if the opposite is more than true.
In the store as in everyday life, putting others down has never been part of my life and believe me it never will be!
No, I would not belittle, but I would not keep silent in the face of this kind of baseness either…
The only thing that interests me is to see the gaming world progress and evolve so that we can all enjoy it together.
The rest is only vile and childish in my eyes...
I long for every moment I share with those who share the passion for board games with me ;)
Moreover, those who meet me on a daily basis have a glimpse of who I am in the store and during events.
My real customer words can be found here:
https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/en/joue-le-jeu-vaison/words-from-customers.html

The Olympic flag
The Olympic flag, designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, is one of the symbols of the modern Olympic Games, consisting of a flag formed by five rings of different colors (blue, yellow, black, green and red), intertwined on a background white, in order to represent the universality of Olympism.
The five intertwined rings represent the five continents united by Olympism, and the six colors (counting white in the background) represent all nations, as at least one of these colors was present in each country's flag , at the time of its creation in 1913.
This flag is the symbol of the universality of the Olympic spirit.
The current interpretation associates a continent with each color of the rings: green represents Oceania, black Africa, yellow Asia, blue Europe and red America.
It is refuted by the International Olympic Committee which associates the colors of the rings with the colors of the flags found on the five continents.

Huacachina Oasis (Peru)
Huacachina is a village located in the region and province of Ica, Peru, near the city of Ica.
In 1999, its population was 115 inhabitants. The village is built around a small lake, making it the second oasis on the continent (after that of the Chilean village of San Pedro de Atacama).
Legend has it that the oasis was born when a beautiful native princess took refuge there to escape a hunter.
Vegetation would then have developed as soon as it came into contact with water, the origin of the dunes being explained by the fold marks left by the princess's coat.
Rumors continue today to maintain the story according to which the young woman became a mermaid, who still swims in the waters of the lake.

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Penny papers, we try, we adjust and we progress.
A store is a daily adventure. Sometimes things work the first time and sometimes you have to try again and even change your strategy when necessary.
To try to move the store forward, I set achievable goals for myself, even if it means achieving them gradually.
Because sometimes, when we demand too much from ourselves, we don't achieve things any better. You have to know how to find the right balance...
The store is therefore progressing slowly but surely, just like me, to be sustainable over time.
The mistakes I made along the way allowed me to improve the store and grow along the way. We never stop learning as long as we remain curious and open to the world around us.
I am naturally curious about almost all subjects, except what people say and anything close to it, because I like to discover things and getting out of my comfort zone doesn't put me at ease, but it 'is always useful and informative.
When I offer you themes every 3 months, I continue to discover things before sharing them with you for anyone who might also be curious. :)
The adventure is never easy, but it provides unique and enriching moments. I am very happy to be able to share them with you on a daily basis. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Galapagos Islands (Ecuador)
The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago and province of Ecuador located in the northeast of the South Pacific Ocean, at the latitude of the equator.
The Galapagos Islands are also called the “Columbus Archipelago”. Unofficially, they are also called “the Enchanted”.
“Islas de los Galápagos” means “Islands of the Sea Turtles”.
Among the 48 eminences that form the Galapagos archipelago only 19 of them are islands. The remaining 29 are uninhabited islets, with all the local population concentrated on the islands of Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal, Isabela and Floreana.
The interior of the islands is, due to its volcanic formation, quite mountainous; moreover, it is the craters which represent the highest points of the islands, which can reach up to 1,707 m (Wolf volcano).
The oldest island, San Cristóbal, only reaches an altitude of 730 meters compared to 1,476 meters for the island of Fernandina, one of the most recent.
The Galapagos Islands are depicted in the Mysterious Cities of Gold cartoon.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Chili dice, the dice are cast and life spices up their score.
The die is cast throughout the year. And sometimes they don’t lack spice…
It happened to me when I embarked on a new project, to wonder if I was capable of carrying it out and to be afraid to commit to it thinking that I would not be qualified enough to carry it out…
I'm thinking, for example, of the first team building around the second year of the store where I was asked to lead a group of 20 people.
So many people for this type of event for the first time, it was really stressful, I assure you.
I felt like I had forgotten half of my equipment and then didn't know where to stand in front of 20 pairs of eyes...
And then, I tried everything and launched different styles of play mixing cooperation and competitive. This isn't the best idea I could have had...
Clearly competitiveness won out over cooperation and they all lost.
And I can tell you that I felt the spices of life there... :s . I was very hot because I was so stressed...
And then, DING, I said to myself, damn it, we're going to try to integrate role play which will allow them to integrate the competitive game and end up being forced to cooperate and succeed together.
Competent and competitive each in their field, I understood that this team needed to see that they all had weak points to help each other.
Finally, realizing that their colleagues also had shortcomings allowed them to create the beginnings of cohesion by initiating a more calm dialogue.
In the end, I still managed to initiate the beginnings of a dialogue in this team. The following team building sessions went very well. ;)
In short, one of the spicy episodes of the store.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Caño Cristales (Colombia)
The Caño Cristales “the stream of crystals” is a river in Colombia, a tributary of the Guayabero River, located in the Serrenia de la Macarena.
The Caño Cristales is commonly known as the “river of five colors” or “the most beautiful river in the world”. It owes this nickname to the plants which, from September to November, give it a green, red and yellow color.
The geological formations of the Caño Cristales River, with sediments and rocks approximately 1.2 billion years old, combined with the abundance of aquatic plants create a unique color.
The Caño Cristales is a torrential river with many waterfalls and rapids.
At several points of its bed we find natural cavities called "devil's pots" formed by the impact of pebbles carried by the current against relatively less hard parts of the bottom.
Once these pebbles fall into one of these cavities, they gradually widen it by spinning driven by the current and banging against its walls.
Good day and good game ;)

Oceanos, oceans of shared fun moments.
Since I dove into the gaming world with you in 2018, I don't regret having taken the plunge into the deep end of gaming makers. ;)
With so many talented authors and creators, we have not finished surfing on an ever more interesting and creative gaming world.
The wave of board games arrived in Vaison a few years ago and many players are joining in the pleasure of the playful ocean.
I personally like playing with you and discovering with you all these new things that are available to us. There are so many innovative and original games to try that one year is not enough... :)
The Cannes International Games Festival allows you to discover part of them in advance so that you can then show them to you in animation and offer them to you in store as soon as they are released.
There hasn't been a single moment in almost 6 years when I haven't enjoyed fun moments and discussions with you all, so thank you!
Thank you for your trust and enthusiasm on a daily basis and for ensuring that in Vaison too, we play the game. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Los Roques Archipelago (Venezuela)
The Los Roques Archipelago is a federal dependency of Venezuela consisting of approximately 350 islands, cays or islets located approximately 130 km off the Venezuelan coast.
Gran Roque, the main island, is located in the north of the archipelago, 146 km from the small town of Naiguata, on the Venezuelan coast.
This island complex has a population of 1,500 inhabitants.
Due to the presence of a wide variety of seabirds and a very rich aquatic fauna, the government transformed the archipelago into a national park in 1972. It is the Los Roques Archipelago National Park.
The main island is Gran Roque (the big Roc), the only inhabited island and where the airport is located.
Other important islands are Francisqui, Nordisqui and Madrisqui y Crasqui. The archipelago was recognized as a Ramsar site on September 4, 1996.
These islands receive around 58,000 visitors per year, mainly for the day from Caracas.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Without tail or head, resolve the insolvent.
Sometimes we have the impression that certain things cannot be solved. And yet, there is often a solution to be found or an alternative that offers a good compromise.
At the moment we can feel overwhelmed, which is completely normal, then by thinking about it with a clear head, find the beginnings of solutions.
I have already had to end partnerships because the relationship was no longer professional on the applicant's side.
I can make concessions and adjustments to best suit what a partner is asking of me, but as the expression goes “when respect is no longer served, you have to know how to leave the table”…
So I went to sit at other tables, much more welcoming, who see on a daily basis my investment in our partnerships and do not listen to defamatory rumors...
And then there are also these partnerships which stop, due to lack of time, but which are added to other partnerships or become your references without you having to ask. :)
Thank you to all these people who showed me that even in partnerships, mutual respect is necessary to work on healthy foundations and that in the end actions speak more than words...
And above all, thank you to all my partners who make the everyday life of the gaming world a magical moment!
I am very happy that our partnerships continue and allow us to contribute to the development of the board game world in Vaison and its surroundings!
Difficulties shape us much more than when everything works the first time. So thank you all for these daily experiences. :)
Good day and good game ;)
