The playful world is always on the move despite the challenges encountered along the way…
In this kingdom where there are many fun nuggets, there is bound to be a game so that you can have a good time with family or friends...
The world of board games has been evolving for several years towards original and always innovative forms.
Whether you are looking for more of a moment of relaxation or a game with complex mechanics to build your strategy, you will find this at the heart of board games.
I like to play quite quietly like with games like Splendor, Butine or Hive.
But I also like to play in a more advanced way like with games like Roll for the Galaxy, Terra Formas or Packet Row.
I like to play quick or longer games depending on the time I have and what I feel like at the moment.
I am very happy to be able to share this passion with you and your loved ones!
I will continue on my small scale as an independent store to bring you closer to the playful world with passion and enthusiasm.
Because once you start playing, you get a taste for it and you want more ;)
Thank you for contributing, thanks to the diversity of your tastes for games, to the development of ever more choices within the gaming world.
The gaming world is moving forward thanks to us, to you and all the players who offer us their games, distribute them and make them known!
Thank you to the playful world for always providing us with more surprises and discoveries, keep it up, we love it. ;)
Eye of Itzamna: at the heart of the temple in the game.
Let's take a look at the fascinating world of board games.
At the heart of the game temple, we discover fascinating treasures!
The world of board games is constantly evolving, which allows the different players in the game to offer diverse and varied fun adventures...
Fun nuggets that allow you to get together around a table and spend a unique moment of complicity together.
Always curious and on the lookout, I like to discover new things so that I can introduce them to you in turn.
Sometimes you have to go on a fun adventure to find wonders that sometimes go unnoticed as the range of board games is so enormous these days.
Between 1000 and 1500 games are now released per year, and that's not even for toys, but only board games!
We cannot humanly know everything, but it is a daily quest to find what you like the most among this diversity to offer them to you in store.
And among all this we have to make choices, not always easy, but always oriented towards an original playful proposition that stands out from what is done everywhere.
I like to offer you original choices and you embark on the daily quests of the fun adventure of the world of board games ;)
More and more of you are trying the fun adventure alongside me, so I intend to continue to offer you original choices that are all as unique as you too are ;)
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!
The battle: learn to overlap and enter into conflict.
My memory of the battle begins at 3 years old, when I played with my cousins.
No Batawaf or Batanimo at that time, but a good old deck of 32 or 54 cards would do.
In ascending order or by values for Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces and Jokers.
Whoever had the strongest card won both cards in play, or more when there was one battle or multiple battles.
A game of chance, the battle game allows you to gently learn about card games and the battle brings the concept of confrontation with the other player(s).
He gently learns to win and lose and to react to the risk factor of the cards in his hand.
Learning to play by following rules that put all players on an equal footing also allows young children to learn and then enjoy the games.
With the battle, we learn to confront two cards by their values, making win the strongest, but we can also lose stronger cards in the battles.
The setting of the game quite often makes it easier to manage the emotions linked to victory or defeat, because you can take revenge or even have a good time.
A game is sometimes like in life, as Philippe Le Guillou says “Life is a game. You have to know how to lose”.
But whatever happens, as Jack London puts it, “Life is not just about having the right cards in your hand; sometimes it's knowing how to play well with a bad game”.
And then everything falls into place thanks to and with you.
During these first five years with you, I was able to develop the store.
Because your constructive opinion on the store is very important to me, I remain at your disposal on a daily basis.
Thanks to your proposals to improve the store, its evolution has always been in the right direction thanks to you.
And little by little everything fell into place. First with the sale of games, then with services and finally with animations.
I would not have been and I still would not be able to offer beautiful playful nuggets or unique moments without your enthusiasm for board games or your desire to discover them.
5 years ago in Vaison, board games were not as common as they are now.
You have and continue to trust me and I strive to ensure that you can continue to do so. :)
I still have plenty of good ideas to offer you, and as long as you trust me, I still have plenty of surprises in store for you.
Let's talk about this passion for the game that drives me.
Born from my earliest childhood, the game has always been for me above all a way of sharing with other players.
Whether it was with my grandfather, when I started playing or now that I play with you on a daily basis; playing board games, for me, is above all about sharing.
Because beyond the fun that a game provides, sharing a moment with other players is a moment suspended in time, unique and irreplaceable.
We discover each person through their way of playing and interacting with others.
What is interesting is to see players discover themselves through the game, because it allows them to open up a little more to the other players around the table.
I particularly like when the games animations allow people who did not know each other to discover each other and to make acquaintances, or even better very often friends.
So do I drive my passion for games or does it drive me?
Good question…
One thing is sure, my passion for games allows me to share good times with you all and that is priceless!
With great achievements already accomplished with you by my side, I do not intend to stop in my tracks.
When I look back 5 years, when I created the store, I intended to develop game animations that did not exist in Vaison.
Some immediately trusted me, seeking my experience in animation to energize their organizations.
I would also like to thank these first people and companies who believed in my game animation project from the start.
I would particularly mention Mac Donald de Saint Romain en Viennois and their kind recommendation to other companies and institutions after having tested the game animations. :)
Thank you also to the town halls and toy libraries for your trust for 5 years now, thank you Vaison, where we Play the Game. ;)
And thank you around Vaison and elsewhere where we also play the game. ;)
Thank you especially to you my customers and everyday players, who allow me to continue the fun adventure by your side. ;)
Thank you to the entertainment teams that I joined or managed, particularly my Italian-Maltese froufrous team (Thank you frou frou team, grazzie mille frou frou team) and especially the entertainment team with whom everything started and continues every christmas, I named team fada. ;)
I would like to thank Angie, Cece, Clairounette, Julie Gege, Marie M., Yaume tomette, Kit and Kat, Angél-hic, Laeti titia, Magic Dom Dom.
I would end up thanking my husband, his parents, my relatives and friends, who even if they may have had doubts continue to support me and believe in my store. :)
I'm happy to see that we haven't gone from 0 game animation in 2018, to a year of games in advance, toy libraries that flourish in Vaison and its surroundings, partnerships that I appreciate more than anything!
Great achievements, failures too, but always great human and enriching adventures thanks to all of you!
So thank you very much to everyone, and we're staying the course, towards new projects and new adventures, promise. ;)
