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

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

2 words game Extinction tigre
Hello everyone !
And today we’re gonna talk about Exctinction Tiger !
Work with your fellow conservationists, from 1 to 5 players from 10 and more and 75 minutes, to save tigers and sea otters from extinction.
The march of humankind’s progress threatens the survival of many species. It's up to you and your team to save them!
Influence the UN to save the animals and stop environmental destruction. If four UN ambassadors vote yes on the resolution then the players win. But until the vote takes place, players need to keep the destruction at bay, and keep the animals alive!
Each turn players will roll the dice they can allocate to action cards. After actions are taken, mating pairs will have a chance to procreate, and destruction tiles will enter the board, possibly killing already scarce animals.
Play as the Zoologist, Philanthropist, TV Wildlife Host, Lobbyist, or Environmental Lawyer, each with a special ability.
Time is short. Can the animals be saved while also influencing the Ambassadors' votes? Or will threatened animals be lost forever?
Extinction is a cooperative strategy and board game for 1 to 5 players. Take on the role of conservationists and work together to save endangered animal species, such as tigers and sea otters. Face complex challenges, influence the UN and protect biodiversity!

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

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

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

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

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

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"A hero is someone who does what they can. Others don't do it."
How can we expect things to happen in our lives if we don't try to encourage them to do so at least a little bit. When I launched the store in June 2018, I knew full well that I wanted to get people playing in addition to offering reasonable prices in the store.
The game animations were a concept that didn't exist at all in Vaison and its surroundings at the time I launched them. It took a few weeks or even months for some organizations to contact me for permanent animations after having done preliminary tests.
Thanks again to all these organizations that have and continue to trust me to offer friendly game times adapted to each of them. Because no, nothing fell from the sky, I offered myself to different places to introduce the concept of game animations.
Through hard work, courage and determination, we talked about my game animations and I ended up having my services complete and always booked a year in advance outdoors.
Thank you to these structures that talked and continue to talk about what I offer and allow me to have partnerships, each more enriching than the last.
I now find myself hosting in Vaison and its surroundings, for my former employer in my hometown and even in other countries... I am very grateful to all of you for these opportunities that we are making a reality! I am always very happy to be able to offer you game animations that correspond to each of your play needs!

Today we’re going to talk about Varuna!
Embody a scientist on mission on Varuna, from 1 player aged 14 and more for 20 minutes, discover and study the aquatic dinosaurs from the second planet of Demeter !
It has the particularity of being 89% covered by oceans and populated by dinosaurs, the vast majority of which are aquatic. It is therefore aboard a state-of-the-art exploration submarine that you will discover the almost twin sister of Demeter 1.
A flip and write that takes place in the space universe of Ganymed and Demeter.
You will also be able to use and improve your submarine, make discoveries, progress in research, use a sonar to locate and better understand these underwater species.
A game of Demeter lasts 13 turns. Each turn, players perform 3 phases: reveal a card from each deck, choose a card( suffer any damage and trigger the action of the selected card) and resolve the bonus corresponding to the chosen card.
The game ends at the end of the 13th turn and players score Mission Points in several categories: species discovered entirely, use of sonar, diversity of species discovered, fish studied, scientific objectives, etc.
Add these categories, then subtract the damage suffered by your submarine. The player with the most Mission Points wins the game!

They dress up to combat insecurity in their neighborhood, or to help their fellow citizens in need.
The phenomenon appeared in the United States in the 2000s, and is called Real Life Super Heroes: the superheroes of reality.
There are said to be a few hundred of them in North America, a handful in France. They inspired the comic book Kick-Ass (2008), which was brought to the screen in 2010.
However, unlike what happens in violent fiction, these vigilantes generally focus on social issues, dealing less slaps to criminals than helping the poor.
They are, to borrow a phrase from the book Real Life Super Heroes (published by Serious Publishing 2012) dedicated to them by photographer Pierre-Élie de Pibrac, "a metaphor for the heroic act that self-sacrifice and solidarity have become in our society".

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The true hero is the one who fights with an open mind and without bias and yet leads a life of peace and freedom."
Those who know me well know that I am by nature a caring person when people are respectful to me in return. These same people also know that I remain at least a little decent when people disrespect me.
I don't think that responding to disrespect or meanness with the same energy is the right solution. Quite simply, like you don't heal a wound by stirring something up inside it.
No matter what attitude people adopt towards me, I will continue to be at least a little decent towards people who are not, because that reflects who I am. I will also always continue to give my time and offer smiles to people who are nice to me, because that also reflects who I am.
People who know me well enough know that I have an open mind and that I know how to adapt to the people in front of me to share good times together.
I am not in anyone's camp, because I prefer having my own opinion on everyone I meet. Quite simply, because listening to "they say" does not interest me. If a person wants to tell me something about themselves, they will tell me on their own, without needing an intermediary and because they know they can trust me.
I focus mainly on what is happening in my life, because it is the only place where I can act to achieve what is important to me. I would give my opinion to a person I like if they ask me, but I would never impose it on them.
Each of us can be free to live our life as we wish as long as it does not hurt anyone. One of my principles is that if what I do in my life does not hurt anyone, then I can do it.
I would always try my best to find a solution to do things differently if I risk hurting someone with my words or actions.
If we can hate someone for no reason, I think we can find lots of reasons to appreciate and love someone in relationships with the people around us…
Some want to distribute hate and meanness for free, I would offer in return a minimum of correction to these people and always more free kindness and support and encouragement and affection to people who deserve it.
Why if we can hate for no reason can we not love for no reason?
Have a good day and good game ;)

2 words game Benevolent
Today we’re going to talk about Benevolent!
Be ready to follow an adventure at the heart of the forest, from 2 to 4 players aged 10 and more for 25 minutes, to find all the hidden treasures !
Far away from the big cities lies a mysterious forest. Thousands of years ago, there lived tribes that worshiped the spirits of the woods. Even now, ruins of their sanctuaries, conquered by ivy and amarbel, can be found among the trees. Rumour has it that those spirits have always been benevolent and sometimes leave their guests precious gifts: a piece of amber here, a bluebird’s feather or an ancient figurine of some outwardly stone there…
Now it’s your time to head out to the magical forest, earn respect of its guardians and collect all their gifts!
Every player takes the Character card and all 5 Footsteps of their chosen color and places 1 Footstep on the first position of the Dream Path. Assemble the forest board according to the player count.
Players take turns clockwise starting with the first player.
When a players has all 5 different gift tokens (no matter how many of each kind), the game immediately ends and that player wins.
During your turn you must move first, and then perform an action.
Movement:
Place one of your Footsteps onto a hex without your Footstep.
You can’t place your Footstep onto a hex where you already have a Footstep.
You can’t place your Footstep onto a hex if there are no adjacent hexes with your Footsteps.
Action:
After the movement phase you must perform an action on the hex where you’ve just placed the Footstep. You have two options:
Perform that hex’s action — but first you must pay Leaves for all Footsteps there, except yours.
Gather Leaves — take 2 Leaves from the supply.
Players continue taking turns until one of them wins.

Hello everyone!
Robinson Crusoe exists and he protects giant tortoises.
He is even 86 years old and his name is Brendon Grimshaw. The only difference with the fictional character is that he bought the island on which he lives instead of being stranded there.
The old man bought the island, located in the Indian Ocean, fifty years ago. In half a century, Grimshaw transformed what was at the time "a bush" into a natural park.
According to the octogenarian, only three other people would have lived on the small island called Moyenne where he is home to 120 giant tortoises. A species that had almost disappeared from the Seychelles at the beginning of the last century.
For the Minister of the Interior of the Seychelles, Brendon Grimshaw is "a naturalist, a philanthropist and a hard worker". The man lives in a small house that he built himself.
In front of the entrance, you can read a sign that says "respect the turtles, they are probably older than you". A way to invite the preservation of an ecosystem weakened by global warming and pollution.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new installment of the "Offs du JJV"!
"It's what we do with our mistakes that defines us."
When I was still working on myself at the beginning of the store, I sometimes got angry with people who provoked me just so that I would get angry in front of everyone.
Looking back and since I've been healing my past wounds, I realize that it was useless and that it amused them all the more because they got a reaction from me. It's clear that some people find themselves in our path to show us what happens when we don't heal our traumas.
When we have the nerve to come and ask for solidarity from a colleague when with our own friends we've been putting her down since the beginning of her store, it's because we don't have much to develop in our own store.
To incite your friends and relatives to develop such hatred towards your colleague that when she walks down the street she gets insulted, you must be very unhappy in your life...
I have kept quiet until now, but today, in the eyes of all, I am announcing to you that I would not be ashamed to tell the truth when you are content to lie to stir up hatred towards me, my dear colleague. It's been almost 7 years that I have had to put up with your derogatory remarks and those of your friends, insults when I live my life in the heart of Vaison and I don't pay attention to anyone...
If you have the time to report my photos on social networks and other media, to send me your friends to insult me and try to make me look like a racist, I am really sad for you, but I will not keep quiet anymore either...
And by the way, stop sending your friends and relatives to other lovely merchants to put them down too because it is starting to get out... And this, well before I post you in my Off my dear...
So let's be very clear. Stop attacking my online media, my store and myself, because I will continue to post you. You want drama, you will have some... You know online activities and reports leave traces that do not protect you from the competent authorities. Young people are always told to talk to someone about the harassment they are experiencing. So today I will stop protecting you as I have done for years.
Good luck for the future my dear and I hope that by no longer scrutinizing all my media to report them you will use this time to take care of your store. I am only in solidarity with people who are also in solidarity and that is far from being your case concerning me, so do not expect anything from me. A word to the wise.
Have a good day and good game ;)

2 words game Neverland
Today we’re going to talk about Neverland !
Following the leader, from 2 to 5 players aged 10 and more for 45 minutes, to find all the lost kids in Neverland !
Welcome to Neverland! Become Peter, Wendy, or many others. Go out on a quest to find the Lost Children who...got lost on the island.
Explore every location, lead the other players wisely to finding some of the Lost Children. You will need to co-operate to find them all. After the game, the island will change for the next time those children lose themselves — and you know it will happen again!
After choosing your character and learning about your special abilities in Pan's Island, each player is responsible for hiding a pirate and a Lost Child. Thanks to a hand of clue cards representing dreams made by the characters, each player can give clues on the location of the Lost Children or the pirates to avoid.
These clue cards are played on another player's board by placing them on a "scale of relevance" ranging from "Exactly" to "Not at all".
The player then needs to correctly interpret the clue to move around and search for the Lost Children in the correct area. The game is won when five Lost Children have been found, but it ends if you encounter the pirates more than twice.
At the end of a game and depending on your success, event cards will change the topology of the island, bring in new rules, and determine how you pursue your adventure.
If you've lost, the island may become easier to explore or make you more powerful, but if you've won, new obstacles appearing on the island will make your new adventures a bit more difficult quest.

Heroes, revealers of a society
The common points between these heroes are obvious. They all have their text(s), and are therefore well known to the cultured public of the time.
They are warriors, conquerors, sovereigns, with whom the aristocrats of the time can identify.
Their exploits take place almost exclusively on the battlefield: there are no scientists, artists, inventors.
We have not yet reached the technological prowess of Tony Stark or the cunning of Ant-Man: at the time, heroism is warrior.
What these heroes are not is just as revealing. The last Avengers gives pride of place to women: the Scarlet Witch, Okoye, the Black Widow and of course the all-powerful Captain Marvel.
Totally unthinkable in the Middle Ages? Well no, because around 1370 a French author (Jean Le Fèvre) proposed Neuf Preuses, bringing together several heroic female figures, such as the Amazon Semiramis or the legendary queen Tomyris, adversary of the Persian Cyrus...
A model that also enjoys great public and artistic success, even if it does not rival that of the Preux.
Have a good day and good game ;)

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"No matter the color or shape of our cape, we are all the heroes of our own story."
We are the main actors in our life, because if we are not there, we do not know what is happening. Life goes by at a remarkable speed and it would be a shame to watch it go by without enjoying it.
It is up to us to follow the aspirations that drive us and to enjoy the magical moments that it offers us. I am very happy to offer playtime to children who have not had an easy life and to see smiles on their faces.
We are not all born with the same cards at the beginning of the game, but that does not mean that we cannot stand out. If I can, on my small scale as a small shop, allow these children to realize that they have the strength within them to create their lives, my goal will have been achieved. Give them back confidence in themselves and in life so that they realize that life also offers good moments.
Giving them back confidence is also a bit like being the heroine of my own story by trying to bring them what I know they need the most as I needed it just like them: hope.
Have a good day and good game ;)

2 words game Hellapagos
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Hellapagos!
It's up to you to do everything you can, from 3 to 12 players aged 10 and over for 30 to 60 minutes, to escape the island you survived on before the storm destroys it!
Hellapagos is a "co-opetition" game in which players struggle to survive on a desert island and build a raft to escape before a hurricane devastates them. While players need to work together, it's not likely that everyone will survive this backstabbing negotiation game for up to twelve players.
After becoming shipwrecked, your group of castaways finds themselves on a desert island. At first, the surroundings seem like paradise, but life soon proves difficult. Water and food are scarce. It’s doubtful whether everyone can survive this diet.
There is only one solution: Construct a large raft together. But don’t waste any time, because the clouds on the horizon suggest the arrival of a dangerous hurricane!
After your ship sinks, your group of survivors finds themselves on a desert island where water and food are scarce. The only solution to escape this nightmare is to build a large raft together to take the survivors on board, but time is running out because a hurricane is on the horizon...
Each turn, the shipwrecked players will have to choose one of four actions: fishing, collecting water, looking for wood or searching the wreck of the ship.
Team up to survive but be prepared to sacrifice your comrades in the event of a shortage.
An almost cooperative game where you will have to be as deceitful as diplomatic to guarantee yourself a place on the return trip!!
In this cooperative game, each turn takes place in a strict order. First, the change of the first player. Except in the first round, the first player card will pass into the hands of the person to the right of the player who had it in the previous round.
Then a weather card is drawn, this is used when collecting water. Indeed, when a bright sun shines it is impossible to collect water. After that, it is the players' turn, they will be able to perform one of the four possible actions.
To catch a fish, the player will have to draw a ball from the bag and advance the food token according to the number of fish indicated on it.
Unless it is very sunny, it is possible to advance the water token according to the number indicated on the weather card.
The player must advance the wood token one step and decides to draw (or not) one or more additional balls from the bag. If the black ball does not appear the player can advance as many spaces as balls drawn, otherwise he will be bitten by the snake and will be poisoned.
The player draws a wreck card and adds it to his hand.
Last step, the survival of the castaways. You will have to count the water and food. Starting with the water, you will have to move the pawns back by the same number as there are players. Be careful, if there is not enough water or food, a vote will be held to see who will survive.
To win the game, you must have left the island alive before drawing the hurricane card from the weather deck. At the end of the game, the players who manage to leave the island in time will win (assuming anyone survives that long!).
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
The Medieval Justice League
This prestigious team includes: Hector, Alexander and Caesar; Joshua, Judas Maccabeus and David; King Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey of Bouillon.
They are called the Nine Worthies. The model will be immensely successful for several centuries. As with the Avengers, joining this team becomes the supreme distinction: when we want to praise someone, for example Du Guesclin, we say that he is the "tenth worthie".
These nine heroes intersect all the sources of medieval culture. The fascination with Greco-Roman antiquity, first of all, which reminds us that we do not need to wait for a hypothetical Renaissance.
Alexander has been famous since the Romance of Alexander, which recounts his conquests and exploits (notably underwater). Caesar has never really ceased to be a reference. Hector became one again in the 12th century, with the Roman de Troie.
Let us recall that the Franks claimed to be descended from the Trojans who fled the city when it fell (like the Romans with Aeneas): they therefore appropriated the Trojan figures, and had a more critical view of Greek heroes like Achilles or Ulysses.
Then, King David, victor over the giant Goliath; Judas Maccabée, leader of the Maccabean revolt and hero of a text written in the middle of the 13th century; Joshua, finally, model of the warrior winning the victory.
Arthur, of course, is a superstar, the Captain America of the time. Charlemagne is an attested historical figure, but also a legendary character, through for example the Song of Roland. Finally, Godfrey of Bouillon, crusader and first sovereign of the kingdom of Jerusalem, also had his novel (the Knight of the Swan cycle).

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"Where would the merit be, if heroes were never afraid?"
We all have the opportunity to become heroes every day. I remember the day I had to perform cardiac massage on a child who had fainted.
I was scared, I panicked, but I didn't think about it any longer. I had been trained by my employer in basic first aid and they were useful to me that day.
I'm not saying that I deserve credit for having done what I did, oh no, quite the contrary... After checking that the little one wasn't breathing, I was terrified to know that I was going to have to massage him.
So I massaged non-stop until the firefighters arrived, but I hope I never have to do it again, because I was so afraid he wouldn't make it...
I think of those people in the medical profession and our firefighters who
do this every day and I tell myself that we are lucky to have dedicated people who overcome their fear to save lives.
Fear allows us to get out of our comfort zone despite the difficulty that it involves. I was thanked by the parents of this child and this little one hugged me quite often afterwards to say thank you. But, I could never stop thinking that even if we are afraid, there are times when we must not give up.
Have a good day and have a good game ;)

2 words game Detective LA
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Detective L.A.!
It's up to you to search, from 3 to 9 players aged 14 and over for 90 minutes, by clarifying the most secret mysteries!
Detective: City of Angels, set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles, is a game of mystery, deception, and investigation for 1–5 players. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives, hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to successfully close a case, even if that means intimidating suspects, concealing evidence, and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives. One player, however, will take on the role of The Chisel, whose only goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn using bluffing, manipulation, and (often) outright lies.
Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Suspects do not simply give paragraph-book responses; instead The Chisel carefully chooses how they will answer. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's Nightclub, is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives toward a dead end that will cost them precious time? Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong, The Chisel will acquire leverage over them, making the case that much harder to solve.
Detective: CoA includes separate, detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives choose to pursue their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down, uncovering fresh evidence and "hot" leads, hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of questioning will open up, creating a rich, story-driven experience.
Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep, the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games, Detective: City of Angels is a murder-mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective rise above the rest and close the case on L.A.'s latest high profile murder? Or will The Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?
A "sleuth" mode allows 1 or more players to play fully cooperatively, solving the cases together.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"The tomb of heroes is the heart of the living."
We all have heroes of our own who inspire us every day. When we say heroes, we often think of superheroes without thinking of our everyday heroes.
These heroes who often have the same characteristics as superheroes and the courage of real people such as our firefighters, our doctors, our nurses, our police officers to name a few...
When they leave, our heroes live in our hearts thanks to the moments and memories we have of them. These moments that we shared with them are the treasures they leave us when they are no longer here.
We remember the war and its consequences thanks to the witnesses we have left. It is up to us to preserve these heroic acts and to pass them on so that their memories persist.
Our loved ones are always present in your heart when we remember these moments shared together, those that are dear to us and become our treasures only to us.
Have a good day and good game ;)

2 words game Patient Zero
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Patient Zero!
It's up to you to research, from 1 to 7 players aged 10 and over for 30 minutes, by finding the patient who will help
you to save lives!
A new pathology has just appeared! Patient Zero has been identified, and it's up to you to find the antidote as soon as possible to save the patient and humanity!
Save Patient Zero pits two labs against each other. Each lab employs one or two scientists (i.e., players), while another player plays a lab computer named Savvy. The labs compete to identify an antidote of three molecules, with the labs typically sharing no information with one another; whichever lab finds the antidote first wins.
The general idea of the game is to use lab tools in the best sequence possible to identify the three molecules out of 25 that make up the antidote. (These 25 molecules are arranged in a 5x5 grid on each lab's worksheet.) At the start of the game, Savvy looks at the top three molecule cards in that deck, then sets them aside. These are the molecules the labs must identify. On a turn, each lab submits a tool card to Savvy to show what they want to do in the round, and whichever lab submits first takes its action first in that round.
Actions include:
- Samply: Draw three sample cards from your lab's deck, and give them to Savvy. Each sample card depicts five molecules, and Savvy will identify which of them show at least one molecule used in the antidote.
- Mikroskopo: Choose two cards from your lab's deck, and give them to Savvy, who will treat them like the cards in "Samply".
- Dedukto: Receive five molecule cards from Savvy. You (but not the other lab) now know these molecules are not in the antidote.
- Centrofugo: Place your centrifuge on your lab worksheet so that it points to four molecules. Savvy then indicates whether any of these molecules are in the antidote.
- Scanpad: Place a cardboard device on your worksheet to highlight six molecules in a 2x3 grid. Savvy then indicates how many molecules highlighted (0-3) are part of the antidote.
- Spionado: Savvy takes two lab cards from the opposing lab that do not have any molecules in the antidote on them, then shows them to you.
- Antidote: Circle three molecules on your worksheet. If all three are in the antidote, you win! If not, Savvy will indicate how many of the circled molecules are in the antidote.
Each lab has a limited number of actions in its deck — eighteen total, with three Samply, two Dedukto, one Scanpad, two Antidote, etc. — so use them wisely, especially the Antidote because if you fail to identify the correct three molecules a second time, then your lab loses the game automatically.
To play Save Patient Zero as a two-player game, each lab draws three molecule cards from the deck, and the opposing lab must identify these three molecules before you can identify the three molecules they drew. Each lab takes the role of Savvy for the opposing lab.

"They gave me a few lessons. I learned the basics, the positions to hold. It really helped me."

Some new things in your Pick Up relay
Hello everyone!
Your parcel collections are changing at your Pick Up relays!
You can now collect your parcels either:
- with the Pick Up Pass (QR code) received in the email or text message from the carriers Chronopost, Colissimo and DPD (no ID required for this method of collection).
- with the six-digit code received in the text message or email from the carriers Chronopost, Colissimo and DPD (no ID required for this method of collection).
- by giving your name and presenting your identity card, driving licence, passport or residence permit (plus that of the person for whom you are collecting the parcel if it is not yours).
To make the Pick Up relay pleasant for everyone:
- All your parcels must be packed at home.
- Your label must be taped or stuck on your parcel at home for all your deposits and returns.
- Only Orange box exchanges are made with the cardboard offered by this supplier. We then check the equipment that you return to us before giving you the new equipment.
- Exchanges from other operators "closed cardboard" for "closed cardboard". In the case of an exchange of "closed cardboard" equipment, your label is probably on the exchange equipment that is in relay. Your equipment must be placed in a box that you prepare and close at home.
- Normal returns of equipment and cancellations are done like any other deposit, closed box and label stuck at home.
- Your packages are opened at home, because your relay is not responsible for the contents of your package. If your package is damaged, remember to ask your merchant if they mentioned it when you collected it.
- If your package is damaged or does not correspond to what you ordered, contact your sender so that they can manage the after-sales service of the shipment with the carrier directly.
For your deposits, no change, you come and drop off your Chronopost and DPD parcels, as well as Colissimo returns. We beep them and off you go for your parcel's journey! Have a good day, have a good game and see you soon at your Pick Up Joue le Jeu Vaison relay!

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!
"There is only one heroism in the world: it is to know that the world is as it is and to love it."
It is not always easy to see the positive side in this world where bad news and bad events seem to follow one another...
But if we only focus on what is going badly, then we cannot see that very beautiful people and things surround us.
To honor the memory of my grandmother who passed away at the beginning of the year, I will quote her, because she was always full of common sense.
"We did not always have everything, especially during the war, but we were happy to have our loved ones and our moments to ourselves."
When food was rationed and public balls were forbidden under the occupation, mutual aid allowed my grandparents to meet and create a powerful bond.
My grandparents told me that the war was a difficult context, but that they had met at one of these forbidden balls and that since then they had never left each other despite the difficulties of life at that time.
It is ultimately these moments, good or bad, that shape us and allow us to progress. I remember having suffered for a certain time from the mockery and gratuitous meanness coming from certain people in Vaison because of the store.
And then, since we can't please everyone, I learned to deal with this meanness to appreciate even more these lovely people around me: customers, players, acquaintances, friends and in-laws.
In the end, the world is as it is and even if we can't always appreciate everything that makes it up, we can enjoy the important moments that are offered to us.
Have a good day and good game ;)

2 words game Holding On
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Holding On!
It's up to you to cooperate, from 2 to 4 players aged 14 and over for 45 to 60 minutes, by winningBilly Kerr’s trust and to accommodate him the best way!
"All my life I've kept my mouth shut - out of loyalty, out of fear... out of shame. And look where it's got me, lying here with my rear-end hanging out of a blue gown, all you lot fussing around me. Sure, that's no way to live. No way to die."
Holding On: The Troubled Life of Billy Kerr is a co-operative game where players work as nursing staff tasked with providing care for the terminally ill. Your latest patient has been rushed in following a massive heart attack on a flight from Sydney to London. When the game begins, all you know is this - his name is Billy Kerr, he is sixty years old, and he has been given days to live.
Players must work together to provide Billy with appropriate care, responding to medical emergencies while gaining his trust. Over ten fully replayable Scenarios, you will need to piece together a lifetime of memories while being drawn deeper into his troubled past. As you discover more about Billy, can you help him find the courage required to confront the three regrets that keep him holding on?
Dealing with themes of dying and regret, Holding On: The Troubled Life of Billy Kerr invites players to experience the extraordinary life of an ordinary person in his final days.

JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“You must become the man you are. Do what only you can do. Constantly become who you are, be the master and sculptor of yourself.”
I am very happy to have made the store progress on a daily basis and to have managed to adapt to the majority of your requests.
I sometimes cannot respond positively to certain expectations because they are out of scope.
When this is the case, I will let you know quite quickly and simply, so as not to leave you waiting.
For example, when people bring me boxes of new games saying that half of the equipment is missing. While the game is in cellophane or taped (and cannot be opened in the store) and it is returned to me at half the weight of when we bought it, I say NO!
This is why I always open the boxes of used games in front of you to check with you that the game is complete.
I don't want you to end up with a game that's incomplete or more damaged than I told you when you bought it...
Quite simply because you trust me to sell you a game and it would not be right to sell you a game that is incomplete or more damaged than what I told you when you purchased it.
I automatically re-tape new games where the pads do not hold well enough. As for second-hand games, I put a band around it which prevents you from opening the box without breaking it.
I always have an eye on the games so I know if a seal or tape has moved. Because my role is also to check that you bring home a complete game.
When you buy used or just sealed games at the store, you can be sure that I have checked the game and nothing will be missing.
If you can't trust your playful sellers, personally I think it's a shame...
Thank you for your daily trust!
Good day and good game ;)
