Mister and Misses

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.

Have a good day and good game ;)

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!

Have a good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Now considered to be one the most beautiful archipelagos in the world, Lofoten was an important Viking territory. Knowing how to adapt to various situations, Vikings were not only peaceful settlers and builders, but invaders and skilled merchants, as well.

 With your fleet of longships, you are determined to make the most of the 4 essential goods.Also try to become the most powerful Jarl of the archipelago!

In Lofoten, you must load merchandise from the market into your longships, and bring them back to your clan. For each type of merchandise, a particular scoring will grant you an advantage over the opposing Jarl. No matter what the situation is, your goal is to earn more PP (Power Points) than the opposing Jarl in the final scoring, to become the most powerful Jarl in the archipelago!

Lofoten, is a game for two players with innovative card hand management and a rotating board.
