Today we are going to play with the word “carousel”.

Good day and good game ;)
“I love Carnival; it’s a time of celebration and fun that makes me dream.”
When you go to Carnival, you let yourself be surprised by its various elements. You let yourself be carried away, opening yourself up to unexpected events.
That’s also what I try to do every day in the store and during events: surprise you and help you break out of your daily routine.
I really enjoy organizing events and themed evenings that allow me to showcase the wide variety of board games that the world of gaming has to offer. A Werewolf game with a medieval theme and atmosphere for 35 people? No problem! A special Valentine’s Day event? Absolutely! Leading events in another language is definitely doable; and what’s more, discovering games that aren’t always available in France? Absolutely!
Co-leading with wonderful colleagues? Of course! In France and elsewhere? Definitely! The world of games has allowed me to make wonderful connections, develop unique and genuine friendships, and create and help create bonds between players!
I love sharing moments around games with you, because they allow us to open up to each other and make our gaming sessions so vibrant!
So thank you for believing in my event planning project, and for some of you, for having believed in it since the beginning of the store or by joining me on this gaming adventure!
As long as you're motivated to explore the world of games, I'd be happy to share it with you in the store and, of course, at our events!
Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Flowers Mandala!
Mandala enthusiasts, for 2 to 4 players and ages 10 and up, for 30 minutes, get the majority to win!
Have a great day and happy gaming! ;)
The Mandala, associated with ancient and sacred rituals, represents a symbolic map of the universe. Colored sand is spread on the ground, and the Mandala is then destroyed in a ceremony before being recreated.
Players take turns placing cards representing the colored sand. They thus form Mandalas around the three lotus flowers, in order to collect the Flower tiles located in the center of each flower.
Once all six colors are present in a Mandala, the two players who have placed the most cards in it win the Flower tiles. These tiles are worth points individually, but they are worth even more when combined with a tile of the same color.
Starting with the first player, turns proceed clockwise until the end of the game is triggered. On your turn, perform the following four steps: play cards from your hand, draw cards, check if you are collecting any tiles, and complete a Mandala.
Choose any number of cards of the same color from your hand and play them on a single Mandala. Place them on your side of the Mandala, aligned and overlapping, so that the total number of cards played is visible.
Check if the color you are playing is new to this Mandala: compare it to the Flower tiles and any face-up cards already played on this Mandala by any player, including yourself.
If the color is new, place your cards face up. Make sure all players can see the color of the cards. If the color is already present, show your cards to the other players, then place them face down.
Skip this step if, at the end of step 1, you have 8 or more cards remaining in your hand. If you played exactly 1 card (face up or face down), draw up to 4 new cards from the deck and add them to your hand, so that you have a maximum of 8 cards in hand. If you now have more cards in this Mandala (face up and face down) than any other player who has already placed at least one card face up, take the Collection marker and place it on your cards. If you are tied with another player for the most cards, you do not take their Collection marker.
If the Mandala now contains each of the 6 colors, including cards and Flower tiles, this Mandala is complete: you must destroy it. The player with the Collection marker chooses and takes one of the Flower tiles from the Mandala.
The player who has placed the second-highest number of cards, including at least one face up, takes the other Flower tile. Place your Flower tiles face up in front of you.
In case of a tie for the second-highest number of cards, the player who played the most face-up cards in the Mandala takes the tile. If the tie persists, or if there are no other face-up cards in the Mandala, the player with the Collection marker takes both Flower tiles.
Finally, draw one Dark Flower tile and one Light Flower tile to begin a new Mandala. Place them face up together in the center of the Mandala that was just destroyed.
The game ends at the end of the turn in which at least one player has created their third Flower. The game can also end in the rare event that there are no more Flower tiles left when starting a new Mandala.
At the end of the game, the player with the most points is declared the winner.
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of "JJV Offs"!
"Cabaret is a theater of life, where artists reveal their souls."
More info: jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Cabaret has a magical quality that allows artists to lay bare their emotions, sharing a unique feeling and moment with the audience. In our own way, as enthusiasts of the gaming world who offer you games ranging from classic to more original, we also share a little bit of our own souls with you.
According to a study, board games stimulate cognitive functions and help build self-confidence within a framework of shared rules.
So, when we invite you to play with us, it's to allow you to express your feelings and gain confidence in your ability to develop simple strategies at first, and then more complex ones later on. A great way to spend quality time with loved ones, friends, or even complete strangers, and perhaps discover a passion for board games or simply enjoy some fun together.
Board games have the wonderful ability to bring together people from all walks of life. Because the rules are common and familiar, they offer a shared foundation and a level playing field for learning how to play or developing your strategy.
Games are a wonderful way to discover the personalities of the different players around the table. And as Plato said, "You can learn more about someone in an hour of play than in a year of conversation."

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Dodelido!
Colors or animals, for 2 to 6 players and from 8 years old for 15 minutes, observe the majorities and watch out for the Dodelido!
Dodelido is a fast-paced card game where speed and observation are key. Each turn tests players' reflexes as they must call out the correct characteristic from among the face-up cards.
In Dodelido, the goal is to be the first player to get rid of all their cards. Each player receives an equal number of cards, which they keep face down. Three discard piles are placed in the center of the table.
On their turn, a player reveals the top card of their pile and places it face up on one of the three discard piles, following a cyclical order (pile 1, pile 2, pile 3, then back to pile 1, etc.).
They must then immediately announce either an animal if there is a majority of visible species, either a color if one color dominates, either a "Dodelido!" if there is a perfect match between animal and color, or "Nothing!" if there is no match.
If a turtle is visible on the piles, the player must add an "Uh" for each turtle before announcing it (e.g., "Uh, Uh, Blue!"). When a crocodile is revealed, all players must slap the card as quickly as possible. The slowest player collects all the visible cards and begins the next turn.
Any incorrect call, omission of "Uh," or hesitation of more than 3 seconds is considered a mistake: the player takes all the face-up cards and begins the next round.
The first player to play all their cards is declared the winner.
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of "The JJV Offs"!
"I love cabaret; it's a place where you can be provocative and creative."
I've always loved the very free and creative side of cabaret. You can experiment with admirable artistic displays that transport you somewhere else for a moment.
We are also very fortunate in the world of games to have talented authors, illustrators, and creators. They offer us a variety of diverse and varied games that allow us to escape from everyday life for a while. These small creators manage to give us unique and innovative gaming experiences that immerse us in a new universe and game mechanics each time.
It's truly remarkable to think that someone has dedicated their time and talent to creating a game just for us. If that's not passion, I don't know what is… It often starts with a somewhat vague project, but a good idea that wants to be shared and become a staple in game collections for players of all levels, from beginners to experts.
Whatever happens, exchange and sharing are always key. The beauty of the gaming world lies in its ability to bring players together through the gems of games it offers. Don't be afraid to explore the world of board games, because you'll discover games with mechanics ranging from simple to complex, but always varied and stimulating.

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Pic Mix!
Speed required, for 2 to 6 players and from 6 years old for 10 to 20 minutes, to observe and put the objects back in the right way!
Each player has a set of 4 cards, each showing 16 objects. The "objective" card pile is placed in the center of the table.
On each turn, an "objective" card showing 3 or 4 of these objects is turned face up.
Players must then combine their cards to recreate the pattern in the center of the table, rotating and overlapping them as needed to reveal only the objects shown on the middle card.
The goal is to be the fastest to position your cards so that only the objects shown on the objective card are visible. The objects can be on the front or back of the card. Keep your cool to find the correct combination first. The player who recreates it the fastest wins the card. The player who collects 5 objective cards wins the game.
Who will create the most combinations and score the most points?
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of "JJV's Offs "!
"The circus is a world of its own, where artists can express their imagination."
Circus artists are often willing to push their limits to create ever more impressive acts and delight us. They are free to create acts as they see fit. My boundless imagination allows me to offer you unique gaming experiences and games both inside and outside the store.
I love offering personalized activities that are uniquely yours. Simply because you are all unique, and I love offering you moments as unique as you are.
Just like in everyday life, I like to think about quarterly themes that inspire me so I can offer you the best and discover new things at the same time as you.
Games allow me to offer you a variety of themes and introduce you to original mechanics. I love showcasing independent publishers who offer wonderful games sometimes overlooked by large distributors who only care about the numbers.
The world of games is open to everyone, and that's what makes it unique. I hope to continue reinventing myself within the store to offer you even more originality.
Good day and good game! ;)

Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of "JJV's Off"!
"The circus is a place of dreams, where children and adults can escape."
Many people become children again when they go to the circus. The difficulty of an act, the unexpected surprise that makes our eyes widen, the joke that throws us off balance and makes us laugh. The controlled risk of the trapeze artists that leaves us breathless. The anticipation of a clown's recurring joke, etc…
Board games also provide a comforting framework that allows everyone, on an equal footing, to explore strategies of varying difficulty. But above all, they offer a setting where we can come together to enjoy ourselves and enrich ourselves with discoveries that create a life experience…
I truly see them as an escape, a suspended moment where everyone enjoys themselves, focuses, and achieves goals or pushes their limits to understand the game, try to master it, and have fun with shared rules.
Board games, for me, ever since I was little, have always been a source of connection and shared joy, smiles, and even laughter. I started playing with my grandparents, and especially my grandfather.
These unique moments, when I was able to have a normal childhood thanks to them, will forever remain my most cherished childhood memories, even though they are no longer here.
Their memories and the way they raised me will stay with me throughout my life, because it is thanks to them that I didn't succumb to a difficult childhood with my parents.
From the very first moments I was able to enjoy playing with my grandparents and at school, where I was a normal child, I understood that playing was a unique moment of freedom and discovery.
And since then, I've never stopped. Even at school with my classmates, I loved seeing them laugh and have fun with the different games I had created for them. As a young child, I adored these moments of respite where I could play and enjoy myself like the other children without fearing any repercussions.
It's very important to me to participate in the various events that allow me to bring smiles to children who may have had similar experiences to mine. The "smile fairy," as they so kindly and innocently call me, hopes to bring them that smile every time.
It might not seem like much to many people in their daily lives, but bringing them a little dose of positivity, connection, and sharing means something to them. And one thing that never fades, and that I never tire of seeing on their faces, is their smiles.
Have a good day and enjoy the game ;)

2 words game Feitherweight fiesta
Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Feitherweight fiesta!
Birds of all kinds, playing together or against each other, for 2 to 4 players, ages 7 and up, for 20 to 30 minutes, strike a pose to achieve the most prestige!
Everyone loves selfies, and birds are no exception! These birds hop happily from wire to wire before immortalizing their poses in photos that are as funny as they are clever.
With the rules of the classic game, the goal is to score the most points by reproducing the poses of the birds on the Selfie cards on the wire. The player who best imitates the birdsong starts, and then play proceeds clockwise.
The Selfie cards are sorted by the level indicated on the back (2/3/4/5 birds) and divided into 4 separate, easily accessible piles. Then, each player receives one Level 2 card, one Level 3 card, and 3 eggs. The remaining eggs are placed in a supply next to the Selfie cards.
The game has two main phases: perching and posing; and flying away from the nest (the happy ending).
Choose four birds of different colors and balance them in the center of each of the four wires. Randomly place the remaining birds on the pegs shown around the edge of the box.
When placing the birds, each player, on their turn, has two choices: move a bird or take an egg. The "move a bird" action allows you to either take a bird from the edge and place it on the wire of your choice, or take a bird from a wire and move it to a new location on one of the four wires.
As the game progresses, the wires become covered with birds, and you'll need to be skillful to insert the one you want to play among the others! It's perfectly acceptable to "push" the birds in place, but only using the bird you wish to insert. If a clumsy player knocks over one or more birds, each of their opponents takes an egg from the supply. The fallen bird(s) return to land on the border pegs.
A player who has chosen the "move an egg" option can spend eggs to extend their turn. For each egg spent, they are allowed to move one bird. The "take an egg" action allows you to: • retrieve an egg from the reserve. • as a bonus, the player can also, if they wish, discard a card and then replace it by drawing from the pile of their choice.
When, after either action, a player manages to recreate a combination of birds identical to one of their two Selfie cards, they can validate that card. They announce "selfie!", place it in front of them, and then draw a new card from the pile of their choice.
Keep a close eye on the birds' movements! When a player announces they have finished their turn, opponents who have a playable Selfie card can validate it. They then place the card in front of them and draw a new Selfie card from the pile of their choice. The back of the cards indicates the number of birds needed to take each selfie.
This is also the number of points that will be scored at the end of the game. The player and/or their opponents can only take one selfie per turn. It is not permitted to move the last bird played.
The bird-placing phase ends when a player takes the last bird from the edge or when they draw the last selfie card. The player's turn ends. Before the game completely ends, the Happy End takes place, during which the birds fly away… and perhaps allow the players to score some extra points!
Before playing, remove (if possible) any birds that are alone on their wires. Starting with the player to the left of the last player, players take turns gently pulling on a bird's tail before releasing it. The goal is to make the birds fly away, leaving only one bird on that wire.
If a player succeeds, they remove the remaining bird and can, as a reward, claim one of their Selfie cards. If they have no Selfie cards left, they take an egg instead. This continues as long as there are birds remaining. The player whose turn it is can choose any of the four wires. They are not required to play on the same wire as the previous player.
The game ends when there are no more birds on the wires. Players then tally the number of points indicated on their claimed Selfie cards. They also score 1 point for each egg they still possess.
The player(s) with the most points win the game. • It is never possible to move a bird to the edge. • You can play as many eggs as you like, but you can only take one selfie per turn. • A bird is considered to be next to a post if nothing separates it from that post. The distance between the bird and the post doesn't matter.
Playing in cooperative mode allows you to take on additional challenges. Most of the rules are the same, but there are a few differences. Score the most points by recreating the poses of the birds on the selfie cards along the wire.
The setup remains the same: • Deal one level 2 card, one level 3 card, and three eggs to each player A. Undealt eggs are discarded and will not be used. In cooperative mode, you cannot win eggs. The remaining Selfie cards are shuffled to form a single draw pile B. • Draw the top 3 cards from the deck and place them face up for everyone to see. These are the shared selfies C. • Create a pile with the 6 Smartphone tokens D.
In cooperative mode, the player takes turns taking a bird from the edge and placing it on a wire 1. After moving a bird from the edge to the wire, the player can spend one or more eggs to move birds already on wires 2.
As the game progresses, the wires become covered with birds, and you'll need to be skillful to insert the one you want to play among the others! It's perfectly acceptable to "push" birds into place, but only using the bird you want to insert.
Birds that fall off the wire are not put back into play. They fly off to other skies.
Selfies can only be taken when the player whose turn it is decides to sacrifice one of the shared Smartphone tokens by removing it from the game. At that point, all players can reveal and validate their successful selfies. A player can therefore validate both of their cards in the same turn. The visible shared selfies are also checked.
So, play the Smartphone tokens sparingly! Players then replenish their hand and the three shared selfies, and the game continues. Players are not allowed to show their cards or indicate preferred locations! They can only announce the number of selfies they can take. The bird-posing phase ends when a player takes the last bird from the edge or plays the last Smartphone token. That player's turn ends.
Before the game completely ends, the Happy End takes place, during which the birds fly away… and perhaps allow players to play a few more cards! Before playing, remove (if possible) all the birds that are alone on their wire A. Players gather the cards they still have in hand, along with the shared selfies, and place them on top of the draw pile B.
Starting with the player to the left of the last player, players take turns gently pulling on a bird's tail before releasing it. The goal is to make the birds fly away, leaving only one bird on that wire. If the player succeeds, they remove the remaining bird and can, as a reward, validate 2 Selfie cards from the draw pile. This continues as long as there are birds left. The player whose turn it is can choose any of the 4 wires. They are not required to play on the same wire as the previous player.
All cards were validated without resorting to the Happy End: A resounding victory! All cards were validated thanks to the Happy End: Well done, that was a close call! Not all cards were validated: Tough luck! You'll do better next time!

Welcome to a new installment of "JJV's Off-Scenes"!
"I love cabaret; it's a place where you can be yourself."
What I love about cabaret is its way of dramatizing everyday life events and making them more engaging by singing about them with a healthy dose of self-deprecation. It's about how, no matter what happens, there's always something to learn, and if we take a step back, we can realize what it is... Even if there are difficulties, seeing them from a distance allows us to see them from a different perspective and understand what they can teach us.
The world of cabaret offers this setting where we can step back and escape from the everyday while enjoying the show. I cherish these moments we share at the heart of the store, during events in the region and beyond.
I draw inspiration from every event, good and bad, in my company's life to help it grow and develop new projects and collaborations. For example, I like to use the TikTok page to bring you a more "everyday" feel than with other platforms.
When I play with you, just like in everyday life, I'm myself. Although, once you know the games, I allow myself to play a more strategic role, as I enjoy doing... because I like to plan my moves in advance, like when I play chess.
When I play, it's not necessarily to win, but above all to learn and share. To share unique moments and anecdotes with you that become life experiences. To learn that we never stop learning and that we can always discover new things at any point in our lives.
Good day and good game! ;)

Dream Makers, for 2 to 5 players and ages 12 and up, for 10 to 20 minutes, cooperate to create wonderful dreams!
You've just been hired at the Factory of Dreams, where each night millions of dreams are invented to take dreamers around the world on extraordinary adventures. Your mission is to work together to create a new batch of dreams, carefully following the Great Sandman's instructions.
Factory of Dreams is a co-operative game in which you must work together to create five dreams based on that night's theme. You will add thought cards – each featuring a single word – to the five flask tiles to create associations to fit that theme.
You can use the tool tokens to help you, but their special abilities can be used only once, so use them wisely! You will then take your dream board and for each flask secretly write one dream (as a single word or idea) that fits the theme and connects the thought cards in that flask.
You score points for inventing dreams that match those created by the other players.
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of "JJV's Off-Scenes"!
"The circus is a place of magic where dreams come true."
When we go to the circus, we only see the unique moment offered to us by artists who have been working on their acts for weeks, months, even years… We observe and enjoy the magic of the moment and let ourselves be carried away into a timeless interlude.
For the artists, it's the culmination of countless hours spent rehearsing a trick and creating the illusion of ease to offer us a unique experience. The joy on these artists' faces as soon as they see our astonishment or delight after their act.
They delight in captivating our eyes and minds with moments filled with surprises, featuring ever more astonishing acts where the wonder and curiosity surrounding the outcome of the trick or balancing act leave us speechless. This is what I strive to bring you every day with the store.
With original games and tailor-made entertainment that reflects your personality, I am happy to see you satisfied. Making you smile and laugh is one of my greatest rewards, both in and out of the store.
It is through experience in my previous roles and within the store that I have been able to refine my own craft and strive to offer you the very best. Like a tightrope walker, I have dared to walk the tightrope, sometimes teetering on the edge, to offer you a unique perspective on the world of board games.
What I love about board games is that they are an excellent tool for building connections on an equal footing. I know perfectly well that my playful approach to board games doesn't appeal to everyone… But as long as I can offer something original and unique to those who are interested, I'm very happy.
For me, games are much more than just objects to be sold and consumed excessively. They are tools for discovering and rediscovering ourselves by sharing a good time together. The magic of board games is above all this: sharing, good humor, and conviviality. That's why I like to cultivate a spirit of genuine camaraderie, like when we revert to childhood for a moment…
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Top That!
Budding magicians, for 2 to 4 players, ages 6 and up, for 30 minutes, hide and reveal what needs to be revealed to amaze your audience!
Be the first to stack your magician's objects to create a "magic trick" while respecting the following rules: colored objects must be visible and gray objects must be hidden. A magical game!
Each player has the same set of 5 objects: a hat, a coin, a rabbit, a red cup, and an orange cylinder.
Each turn, the top card of the pile is revealed. This card shows several objects (sometimes all 5), some in color and others in gray.
All players then simultaneously try to recreate a pile with their objects, but only those shown on the card. All colored objects must be visible in my stack, while all gray ones must be hidden under another object!
Be careful, the objects are obviously not all the same size. You'll need to respect this size range to hide the objects correctly!
The fastest player to recreate the correct stack of objects simply wins the card... The first player to successfully stack the pieces, taking all the information into account, shouts "Top That!" If, after checking, the stack matches the card, the player wins the card; if the stack is incorrect, the player is disqualified for that round, and the other players continue without them.
Then a new round begins by turning over the top card of the draw pile. The player with the most cards wins.
Good day and good game! ;)

Heelo everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the « JJV’s Offs » !
"The circus is a place of comedy, where artists can make people laugh."
What I really love about working with you on board games is that I can share my good humor with a wide variety of games.
Because just reading you the rules, putting the box on the table, and letting you think about it like that isn't really my thing... I like to be an active participant in our game time so that you can all get the most out of the games together.
And besides, board games are first and foremost about being fun and sharing together, so if your facilitator isn't motivated to introduce them, it shows in the session; we don't have the same fun, and that's a shame.
I'm a bit like your clown for the duration of the session. I love bringing energy and a listening ear to help you explore the world of board games at your own pace.
Because I love seeing you smile, laugh, and enjoy a good time together. A game is a great way to share a moment together while focusing on a game with the same rules, whether you're young or old, a beginner or an expert. I'm a bit like an artist, here to entertain you through board games and my good humor. If I can help you connect and rediscover your smile, then I've already fulfilled part of my mission.
Good day and good game ;)

2 words game Swiss animals battle
Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about the Swiss Animal Battle!
Little nature observers, 2 to 4 players, ages 4 and up, for 10 minutes. It's up to you to find the biggest animal to win!
Are you familiar with the classic card game War? This game is played on the same principle! Instead of the numbers and characters of a classic deck of cards, you'll find beautifully illustrated cards.
Marmot, lynx, swan... Turn over the cards at the same time as the other players. The card with the biggest animal—or the highest number—wins!
The game consists of animal cards, from smallest to largest, and the numbers 1 to 4 to make it easier for younger children to play. They can then recognize which number is larger by looking at the animals.
High-quality cards made in France by the Swiss publisher Auzou, and easy to play for children who are starting to play board and card games.
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!
I love being able to adapt to you and offer personalized events, sales, and orders based on your interest in board games that are a little off the beaten path.
I'm delighted to see you following me on my sometimes slightly crazy adventure of offering things you don't necessarily see elsewhere in Vaison, France, or Europe!
I knew perfectly well that by specializing in a range of games more original than what my colleagues generally offer, the launch could be a bit risky.
And the first two years were a daily struggle to promote games and small publishers, in addition to a few traditional distributors like Asmodee and Gigamic. Not being fans of the policies of some large distributors towards independent shops, a few of us small shops have chosen to work primarily with other large or small distributors who respect us. When small shops are asked to order as much as large retailers or supermarkets in order to, and I quote, "finally have a decent portfolio," we realize we made the right choice not to favor this major distributor.
We haven't all set out to become ruthless in developing the gaming world or to confuse people by offering ready-made, over-consumed games. Games that will sometimes be played once and then end up gathering dust in closets…
What's really great about the gaming world is that we have other large, small, and medium-sized distributors who treat us with the minimum respect required for a partnership. Even if this disappoints some, mutual respect and a win-win situation are essential values for me in any partnership.
With distributors also recognizing the fun factor, it feels a bit like David versus Goliath, with giants with feet of clay abandoning their creators and small publishing houses along the way because they're no longer profitable enough…
I have principles, and I'll never compromise on them. The moments shared around games are far more interesting than simply collecting unused boxes that don't match our interests but that we bought just because they were trendy…
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Quarter Monkey!
Skillful word-makers, for 2 to 8 players, ages 10 and up, for 30 minutes, it's up to you to put the monkey back together to win!
Quart Monkey is a vocabulary game that requires thought, bluffing, and a bit of cunning to outwit your opponents using special cards (change of direction, x2, thieving monkey...).
You need to win 4 quarter monkeys to win the game. Players take turns playing letter cards, making sure they always have a word in mind containing all the letters on the table. By accusing a player of bluffing, you can win a quarter monkey if they can't give a word containing all the letters. If the player can answer correctly, they win the quarter monkey.
Quarter Monkey is the perfect party game for gatherings with friends or family. Originally, Quarter Monkey was a word game that can be played in the car, on a school bus, or anywhere else.
This version with letter cards adds new possibilities by allowing players to play the letters randomly and brings a dynamic pace to the game thanks to the joker tiles and the hourglass.
Good day and good game! ;)

Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of "Offs du JJV"!
"Dance is like the circus; it's a spectacle that makes us dream."
The most important thing in creating this store is that I wanted you to be able to enjoy fun moments playing games, whether at home or at events.
Board games are a way to enjoy ourselves and have fun together, and to cherish the moments shared with our family, friends, and loved ones.
When you have gamers, you can always be sure to please them with a game that matches their preferences, whether it's the theme, the gameplay mechanics, and especially the shared experience it creates. We take a few steps to discover a new mechanic and then see if we like what it offers or not. And don't forget to let yourself be guided by the game's theme and setting, embarking on a journey to new lands while stimulating your thinking…
I see board games as a pastime just as entertaining and stimulating as dance and circus arts. They transport us to a world of their own, created by talented illustrators and designers. I particularly love the games illustrated by Naïade!
In my opinion, games can allow us to travel and escape from everyday life, if only for a moment. They allow us to immerse ourselves in a universe, a setting, and a game mechanic that will stimulate and soothe us all at the same time.
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Krazy Words!
Whether you're a talented word creator, for 3 to 7 players, ages 10 and up, or for 30 minutes, create original words based on your chosen theme!
Krounch? What is it? An Australian marsupial? A chocolate bar? A rare disease? Nobody knows, and that's what makes this game hilarious: inventing and guessing completely wacky words! Who will invent the funniest words? And who will figure out which themes your opponents' words correspond to? Krazy Words proves that it's still possible to innovate in word games and puzzles.
Each player receives a theme or definition (a dessert, a Chinese city, the name of a candy, etc.). They then create a word from nine randomly drawn letters, hoping the other players will match their word to the theme or definition.
During the voting phase, all the themes and words are displayed. Your goal is to find as many matching pairs as possible, hoping the other players will connect your card to the word you created.
This game can be played with friends or family, including young children. Children under 10 might be confused if they don't understand the card they've drawn, but they can change it. Use the randomly drawn letters to create an original word based on the given theme! Will the other players guess the theme of your word? The winner is the player with the most points after four rounds.
Good day and good game! ;)
