When we get out of our comfort zone, the game allows us to develop our logical mind.
The rules of the game, indicating how to play, guide us to organize ourselves by adapting to the constraints and possibilities that each game offers us.
This involves integrating the rules as the game progresses at first so that you can then find your own mechanics and play according to the interests you want to derive from the game afterwards.
Are we going to try collaborations to progress faster in a game or on the contrary try to block other players to win solo?
Each game leads to a different level of thinking, even the simplest ones such as discard games or aperitif games.
The Connect 4, for example, mobilizes the reflection on the fact of aligning four pawns of our color without forgetting to block the lines of pawns of the other player.
Resource games encourage us to weigh the pros and cons of combos or actions that will earn us or make us lose points.
The Uno allows him unions and disunions of the players throughout the game. Yes, yes, we know that the "+4" are given to annoy his neighbor, huh! ;)
We discover a lot of things by playing board games.
You can be a novice or a seasoned player, you always end up discovering new themes or game mechanisms to challenge yourself. It is not always easy to step out of your comfort zone, board games being no exception, to approach and discover things that are unknown to us.
By opening up to games that we do not know, we sometimes discover unsuspected facets of ourselves, as for example during semi-cooperative games.
I am thinking in particular of Galérapagos, to name just one, where we either develop the desire to rot others (in the context of the game of course ^^), to help each other and sometimes end up losing because eliminating by players with whom we had ephemeral alliances…^^
In the end, semi or cooperative or even competitive games, we all want to win, but we can't all win.
Where we all win is by sharing a good time gathered around a game.
Among the creations that I have been led to carry out with you, some remain in my mind more particularly.
Brico’récup is one of them.
Recovering objects intended to be thrown away to give them a second life is a project that I co-host with pleasure with my former colleagues.
The times of collaborative games during the Christmas workshops where all the children create Christmas decorations and play together around our big games and board games also delight me a lot.
Intergenerational games throughout the year that allow families to laugh and enjoy good times together are priceless.
I have created unique workshops for all of you and I will continue to do so, because I love sharing my passion with you.
From chess to newer games, I developed a taste for the game quite quickly.
From the creation of my first mini-games and stories to the development of specific board games with children, teenagers and their parents and grandparents when I was an animator, everything has been there.
I also rely a lot on my past and present experiences in animation to try to always offer unique playing times adapted to the different audiences with whom I work on a daily basis.
No audience is the same, so none of my animations are alike. I like to offer you moments of games that look like you.
Playing with you and sharing this passion with you allows me to develop it even more.
Very happy to contribute to the game world on my modest scale, I am very satisfied when I see smiles on your faces and bonds that are created between players.
My most beautiful driving force in this adventure is you, so thank you very much for traveling in my fun bus!
Aware that the smallest impact that we can have can be useful to the planet, a few obvious reflexes imposed themselves on me.
We turn off all devices that are not in use every lunchtime and evening: computers, printers, payment terminal, parcel terminal.
Standby being energy-intensive, we turn them off and only turn them back on when the store is open.
Everything is off as soon as we leave the store, including the sign and all the lights in the store!
These are small daily efforts that add to the reuse of our order boxes for orders made on the store's website or to create various decorations and displays.
All printing errors are used to make draft sheets.
We use reusable cartridges for the store's printers as well as recycled and recyclable paper.
Our gift wrap is kraft and therefore easily recyclable for reuse.
These are just small efforts, but they are so important for the planet and for us.
Board games are an invaluable fun tool! In addition to providing an unforgettable moment of fun, they also often allow you to open up to others.
Whether this link is between parents, grandparents and their children or between friends or acquaintances, the game allows you to discover the other through common rules.
Since I've been hosting, I've noticed that the game allows you to listen to others, because you need other players to progress in the game together.
Cooperative games are not the only ones to allow this.
Developing thinking, speed and strategy, "board" games also allow everyone to share together.
We always enjoy sharing a game with family or friends.
Party game, strategy, family, children; there is something for all ages and all tastes and levels!
