JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Africa, often referred to as the cradle of civilization, is a continent where past and present coexist in a rich array of cultures, landscapes, and histories.

An intriguing fact is that Africa is the only continent that spans from the northern temperate zone to the southern temperate zone, making its climatic diversity as diverse as its cultures. Africa’s Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world, while its Congo Basin is home to the second largest rainforest on the planet.

These geographical extremes represent Africa’s environmental richness and its pivotal role in our global ecosystem.

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of the "Offs du JJV"!

"A hero does not hide his tears. A liar does not cry."

We can't always succeed in achieving what we want and sometimes we are disappointed, because what we held dear did not work. But we focus on what did not happen to try to see what we can improve to always progress.

And sometimes it is painful to cling to projects that do not work and then we must let go so as not to remain stuck in this failure. There is nothing wrong with failing, it is also what ends up making us move forward or think of other ways of doing things.

People who tell you that they do not suffer from their failures are probably unfortunately in denial. Failure always triggers suffering in anyone in the first place.

It is what we do with this failure that is important. The first sessions I offered at La Sereno for example were quite difficult for me. I had never hosted with this audience alone before, but only intergenerational events where families were present.

The main difficulty I encountered was the categorical refusal to play games that were too colorful and that looked like children's games. Because yes, many board game designs now are much more attractive than the gray, white and black designs that predominated in the 80s during the rise of board games.

So, it took me at least two or three sessions to convince them that games are not just boxes, but above all interesting and entertaining content.

And then in the end, we ended up playing with more classic games at the beginning, then new ones from time to time and finally now they are happy to discover new games.

It goes to show that with my new approach, they were more likely to want to discover the hidden potential at the heart of board games.

Have a good day and good game ;)
