Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
August 2017: retraining, training, creation!
After being an animator for years, I wanted to move into another career path.
When we acquired the local store, the idea to germinate in my mind, to create a board game store.
At this time, Vaison sadly saw a symbol disappear, the paradise of babies...
Fan of board games since my youngest age, I wanted to share with you my passion for games.
So I took a year to train myself in business management to prepare for the opening of the store in the most serene way possible.
To create the site, even if I was good at coding, I took courses to improve myself and be able to customize the site as much as possible.
And then come the stages of creation where you mature your project with encouragement on the one hand and non-constructive criticism on the other...
I then started from the negative to develop the positive.
Because the negative can help you become more sure of your project.
How ?
As far as I am concerned, by being even more vigilant than if I had only had constructive criticism.
Because if our project will always bother some people (and yes, there are always dissatisfied people), it will delight a large number of people.
So, believe in your projects, give yourself the tools to be able to achieve them and never stop progressing. ;)
And for entertainment, I already had many years of experience behind me and an adaptability to my entertainment groups that allow me to personalize the play times that we share together as much as possible.
I intend to remain a force of proposal to offer you unique moments, passionate conversations around board games.
Sharing my passion for board games with all of you will always be my best motivation!
So thank you! ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Bubblee Pop!
No time to bubble, solo or in duo for 20 minutes, form your combos to win the game!
Line them all up!
In Bubblee Pop, players compete to save the Bubblees by lining up three of them horizontally or vertically.
Once lined up, the Bubblees give the player points and trigger special powers.
If you stack them the wrong way, you risk losing the game immediately.
Once the reversible board is installed between the two players, 3 black Bubblees take place on each of the players' planets.
It is then the Sky which is set up by the standard installation of colored Bubblees, so that two identical colors are not adjacent.
It's up to you to pop the Bubblees by assembling them by color and in groups of 3 or more via gravity which makes them fall 2 by 2 on your planet.
When things go wrong, powers are triggered and victory points are accumulated.
Fill the sky by drawing Bubblees from the bag. The active player may eventually swap 2 adjacent Bubblees in the sky before obligatorily causing 2 to fall, horizontally or vertically adjacent.
These Bubblees, once they land, if they form an alignment (not diagonal) of 3 or more of the same color, are removed and placed in the scoring area.
This triggers a power depending on the color, a power that remains optional:
- Swap bubbles on your planet or the opposing planet;
- Send a Bubblee or drop one from the sky at his opponent;
- Finally, recover an uncovered Bubblee from his planet and place it in his score zone.
- Black Bubblees, on the other hand, have no powers. Finally, any holes left by the bursts are filled by making the Bubblees "fall" from above.
A single player mode is available where the objective is to empty the opposing planet which starts in a filling state indicated by the level chosen. There are 20 of increasing difficulty.
The only difference in the rules is that when a cluster of 3 Bubblees forms, you can choose to send one (see 2 if the combination is 4 or more Bubblees) to the neighboring planet, keeping the d column. origin before deciding to use the power.
The Black Bubblees are then obstacles that may be the only ones left on the otherwise emptied planet.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
The legend of Krampus (Germany, Austria, Hungary).
Have you ever heard of Krampus?
In Germany, Austria or Hungary, it is a name that makes people shiver.
And for good reason: Krampus is none other than the diabolical and furry alter-ego of Santa Claus.
According to legend, if Santa Claus brings toys to “nice” children, the Krampus has the mission to punish the children on the “naughty” list.
Most of the time, he is content to scare children with his bestial demeanor, but he is said to throw particularly naughty children into his bag, or chain them in his basket to take them to hell.
It is for this reason that in Austria and neighboring countries, people often dress up as Krampus in early December and roam the streets to scare children.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
The games that forge us and accompany us.
Board games have always accompanied me since I was young.
Starting with the battle, going through the werewolf and continuing with Patchistory, among many others; I find it a source of fun and discovery.
They allowed me to escape from everyday life and to get to know myself and you.
Because behind a board game, it is above all a shared and unique moment.
A board game is not just an object!
A board game is moments, conversations, laughter, giggles, etc...
Who doesn't remember memorable parties around a board game all together?
And then, from the store, the games allow me to share good conversations and good times with you!
My favorite moment of all would be when I started playing!
My first battle with my grandma around 3 years old.
And you, what would be your favorite moment around a board game?
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about 8 bit box!
Lovers of old-school video games, get out your coffee tables!
8Bit Box is a set of 3 board games, directly inspired by retrogaming for about 30 minutes and 3 to 6 players.
Each game board will remind you of the biggest names in video games of the 80s, which you will have the pleasure of introducing to your loved ones for incredible moments with friends or family.
With its 6 controllers, 8Bit Box allows you to invite up to 6 players for frenetic games.
It contains all the basic equipment, common to all of your games (pawns, dice, tokens, etc.).
The 3 included games are presented individually, like the game cartridges of yesteryear.
Each contains the specific hardware needed to play it, which complements that of 8Bit Box.
As for the controllers, they allow each player to plan and perform their game actions, such as the movement of characters or vehicles.
All together, you play board games on a table that take up the major themes of video games.
It is clearer ?
So, don't wait any longer: unplug the screens, and open the 8Bit Box!
In the center of a printed circuit, Pixoid tries to escape the Bugs who want to catch him.
Controllers in hand, the Pixoid player and each Bug player move around the circuit.
Pixoid must survive as long as possible without being hit.
Bugs players, meanwhile, must coordinate their moves to capture Pixoid.
In this asymmetrical game in "all against one" mode, the players take turns embodying the brave Pixoid.
A fun and jubilant tribute to one of the most famous video games on the planet.
Pilot in the middle of obstacles and under the fire of opponents! Using your controller, you zigzag through a canyon to cross the finish line first.
Know how to position yourself wisely at each new course tile revealed, watch your fuel, and pick up the right bonus at the right time to leave your competitors in the dust!
A great futuristic racing classic, full of adrenaline and fun!
In this multi-test game, you will have to know how to manage your energy to become the God of the stadium.
Use your controller wisely to measure your effort, and know how to trust your teammates to take over if you are out of breath.
10 events await you: which team will bring back the most medals?
Stadium is a revamp of old-school sports games, swapping the frenzy of the controller for a tasty mix of management, tactical opportunism and team spirit.

A game to fight polio
The famous Candyland game, which sells a million copies every year, was created in 1948 by American Eleanor Abbott.
This teacher had contracted polio, a terrible and little known disease at the time, which affected children more seriously.
Finding herself in isolation with them, she invented Candyland to entertain them.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Cluedo, Mysteries of Peking: developing a logical mind.
I love when an air of mystery and reflection surrounds me…
That's what's great about investigation games or role-playing games!
We can integrate an atmosphere to make the game even more addictive.
A werewolf with good background music and a good playmaker is great!
I really like to incorporate an air of mystery into all my werewolf games, for example.
My players appreciate it and ask for more and I love being able to offer them the game this way!
For logic and investigation games like Cluedo or
The mysteries of Peking, we begin to look for some leads and, by deduction, solve investigations by following clues.
The competitive side with other players is quite stimulating. You learn to have to think faster and more efficiently than others if you want to hope to win.
We develop a logical mind that then makes us want to test much more complex games.
We start with simpler games, then we move on to more complicated games, to end up with expert games.
And then developing a logical mind is always useful in everyday life!
Good day and good game ;)

Today we are going to talk about Loops!
Embark on a journey of at least 15 minutes from 2 to 10 players for a high-flying moment.
Settle into the cockpit and take off for an uncontrolled adventure...
In LOOPS, players fly the same plane together, taking turns controlling its altitude and direction.
Keep the right cards in hand and trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane.
The players take turns placing an altitude card (or several if they are identical), respecting 2 conditions:
- One direction: to the right or to the left; which indicates the order in which the players around the table must play.
- A base: positive or negative; which indicates whether the altitude of the aircraft should increase or decrease.
When a player cannot place any card during his turn, he recovers all the cards placed on the table.
Keep the right cards in hand to never be blocked.
Trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane using special cards.
Be the first to run out of cards to win the game.

Hello everyone !
Do you know the name of the cards?
It was already known that kings in card games featured real kings, namely Charlemagne, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and King David.
But what about other cards?
Well it's simple, all jacks and all ladies also have their own name.
Thus, the valet of hearts is Lahire (Etienne de Vignolles), a comrade in arms of Joan of Arc while the lady of hearts is named Judith.
The name of the Jack of Diamonds is Hector, presumably for the hero of the Trojan War although other theories exist.
The queen of diamonds is called Rachel.
On the side of the spade, the valet bears the name of Ogier, one of Charlemagne's 12 peers, while the queen is called Pallas.
Finally, the jack of clubs is Lancelot, for Lancelot du Lac, while its queen is Argine, for the anagram of Regina…aka “queen” in Italian.

Puzzle: my insoluble disinterest.
I like a wide variety of board games, but I have to admit that puzzles are the exception that proves the rule for me.
A game logic that is completely beyond me, whereas, according to friends, they are much less complicated than the expert games we play together...
I have no idea why I can't grasp the logic of the puzzles, but it won't.
After all, we can't love everything and be interested in everything around us.
You could easily beat me at rubik's kub for example.
The only time I managed to make it complete as a child was because I had peeled off the labels and reattached them in the correct order afterwards… ^^
We agree that it doesn't matter. ;)
However, I like games that have a high demand for logic and thinking.
I love the simplicity as well as the complexity of a game, because it opens up to different game mechanics.
I like when the games are very difficult and you have to rack your brains to know which strategy will be effective.
The puzzles will live up to their names as far as I'm concerned.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about the game of the goose!
A good classic, from 2 to 6 players and about 20 minutes, to land on the right squares. To your geese!
The game of the goose is a parlor game where pawns are moved according to the results of two dice.
Traditionally, this game of pure chance comprises 63 squares arranged in an inwardly-wound spiral with a number of traps.
The goal is to get to the last square first.
The basic rule is intangible. The game is played with 2 dice. A first move decides who will start.
The goose signals the lucky squares arranged 9 by 9.
No one can stop on these beneficial squares and the roll is then doubled.
• Who rolls 9 on the first roll, will go to 26 if he did it by 6 and 3, or to 53 if he did it by 4 and 5.
• Who drops to 6, where there is a bridge, will go to 12.
• Who drops to 19, where there is a hotel, rests when everyone plays 2 times.
• Which falls to 31, where there is a well waiting to be raised.
• Who drops to 42, where there is a maze returns to 304.
• Who falls to 52, where there is a prison waiting to be picked up.
• Who falls to 58, where there is death, starts again.
The first to reach 63, in the garden of the goose, wins the game.
On condition of getting it right, otherwise he goes back, on as many squares as he has left to go.
If a player lands on a square already occupied by another player, he sends the latter back to the square from which he started.
There can only be one player per space.

Why a game with 52 cards?
If you own a classic deck of cards, it normally has 52 cards.
But why this figure and not 50 or 58 exactly?
The 52-card deck is actually based on the ancient Egyptian lunar calendar.
The 52 cards represent the 52 weeks of the year.
And that's not all: the 13 cards that make up each color designate the 13 lunar months of the Egyptian calendar.
And, finally, the 4 colors represent the 4 elements: water, earth, fire and air.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Trivial pursuit: to develop one's knowledge and cultivate oneself.
One of the general knowledge games that marked my childhood is Trivial Pursuit.
The Genius version allowed me to play with my older cousins.
It started with the desire to want to play the same games as my cousins, then it continued with the desire to discover and learn new things.
With well-known categories such as cinema, heritage, music, history, geography, etc., I loved discovering new things while playing.
As a team with one of my cousins ten years older than me, we complemented each other according to the areas of the questions.
But beyond that, we were all playing together and laughing as we learned.
Especially since the Trivial Pursuit is now adapted in several versions and themes, which allows you to play a variety of general knowledge.
Since I was little, I have always been very curious and I have always liked to learn things, so a game that combined play and knowledge was a great discovery for me.
Some general knowledge games now sound much more dynamic and sometimes offer the addition of challenges to set the mood a little more.
What we did to spice up the game with my cousins was to add pledges and constraints or advantages and special points through various challenges.
This could make games of general knowledge just so laughable and unforgettable!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Battle Gum!
No time to bubble! From 2 to 4 players and about 15 minutes, discard all your cards, but watch out for the traps!
We are here in a discard game where you will have to be the first to have no more cards in your hand.
It all starts with the usual distribution which will be divided into three parts.
Three cards in the players' hand, three cards placed in front of them face down and three others face up.
At the start of the game, players will be able to freely switch between their hand and the visible cards.
To initiate a trick, a player can place up to three cards provided that they are of the same value.
The following players must place one or more cards of equal or higher value than those already placed.
If by chance a player can no longer play cards that meet this rule, he collects all the cards already played and adds them to his hand.
A player who has played draws again to have three cards in hand again.
When the draw pile is exhausted, attack the cards placed in front of you.
In the deck of 54 cards, 22 have special powers. The 1 for example can also land a 13 (the strongest card).
The 8 will skip the next trick, etc.
The rules are proposed with variants which make the pile played disappear under certain conditions.
