Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Story Cubes Harry Potter!

Little or big wizards, from 1 player, from 6 years old in 10 minutes, to create beautiful stories at Hogwarts!

In Story Cubes Harry Potter, roll the 9 dice to create ever more magical stories!

Whether you create a story alone or with others, let yourself be carried away by the dice combos to create stories, each one more magical than the last.

You can choose to either take turns being a storyteller by taking the 9 dice and telling your story to the other players, then decide which storyteller wins the round.

But you can also choose to each take a part of the dice and tell the story together with one player creating the beginning, another the middle, then the end.

Push the limits of your imagination by creating numerous stories about your Harry Potter objects and characters.

Board the Hogwarts Express and tell the story of your adventures in the heart of the Forbidden Forest, the castle or even the grounds of Qwidicth...

Fans of the famous wizard with round glasses will be able to create and invent endless stories based on the theme of their favorite saga!

Roll the dice and create stories full of twists and turns by including symbols from the enchanted and wonderful world of Hogwarts.

Your story can be serious or completely crazy, short or full of magical adventures...

There are as many story creation possibilities as there are possible dice combinations to share the magic of Hogwarts even longer...

There’s magic in the air, so here’s to your stories!

You can also add your dice from other story cubes that you may already have to create ever more varied and longer or shorter stories!

It’s up to you to create stories, each more original than the last…

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. »

When I see a board game, I don't just see a board, cards, dice or pawns, I see moments together, smiles, laughter, complicity and conviviality.

From the games festival in Cannes, I like to observe the new products that will arrive in order to be able to offer you interesting fun nuggets.

I also love sharing with you moments around golden aces and other games that fascinate us, because more than games, these moments are unique.

I don't just see players in front of me, but enthusiasts, amateurs who are thirsty for fun discoveries, experts with whom I just as enjoy experimenting with more complex but still stimulating games.

I love tricksters who try to bend the rules of the game thinking that I don't see them doing it and that I'm not going to say anything... ;)

I love seeing the smiles appear on the faces of children who need them the most to thrive. :)

I love bringing even just a few moments of sharing and conviviality to all my players aged 3 to 103. ;)

I love seeing you open up to the playful world and sit around a table to play together.

Board games will always remain for me a way of getting to know each other and sharing unique moments together.

We all remember good times shared around board games, regardless of our ages.

So while we in Vaison are Playing the Game, I intend to offer you more and more of the fun world! ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about Monster Rush!

Bounty hunters, from 2 to 8 players from 8 years old in 10 minutes, to collect as many little monsters as possible!

In Monster Rush, the king calls on you to chase adorable little monsters from the kingdom, as they hypnotize the villagers.

Capture these adorable monsters and the King will reward you as you deserve. But be careful, each monster requires a special combination of weapons and spells to capture. Speed ​​will be your best ally. Who will be the fastest ?

A monster can be captured when the Weapon and Spell cards revealed by the players match the symbols on the Monster card.

Place the board in the center of the table between the players. Shuffle the Monster cards then distribute them into three equal piles, face down, around the board. Then return the first card of each pile to the dedicated space on the board.

Shuffle the Weapon and Spell cards and divide them into as many piles as there are players. No need to count: it is not necessary that everyone has the same number of cards. Each player receives a pile which they keep face down in front of them.

Taking turns, going clockwise, players turn over the top card of their Weapons and Spells pile and place it in front of them. Once a complete turn has been made, players turn over another card, one after the other, and place it next to the first. It is especially important not to stack the cards: they must all remain visible to all players.

The game continues like this until a monster is captured. When all symbols on a Monster card have been revealed using Weapon and Spell cards (regardless of who), players must immediately place their hand on the monster to capture it.

The fastest player wins the card and places it next to them, face up. At the end of the game, players will have to add up the values ​​indicated at the top left of the Monster cards they have collected.

If a player makes a mistake and touches a Monster card without all the symbols having been revealed, he recovers the card concerned but places it next to him face down. It will count as a negative point (-1) at the end of the game.

When a Monster card is collected by a player (because they captured the monster or because they made a mistake), draw a new Monster card from the corresponding pile and place it on the face-up space on the board. visible. In addition, each player returns their Weapon and Spell cards to the bottom of their pile, face down. The player who captured the monster starts the new turn and the game continues.

When several players try to catch different monsters, only the fastest player wins their card. If it is not possible to decide between them, look at the number at the bottom left of each card: the advantage is given to the player who touched the card with the highest value.

Whether the player made a mistake or not is irrelevant. We take into account the capture attempt on the highest value card and then check if the player made a mistake.

If several players try to catch the same monster, the fastest one wins, that is to say the one whose hand is below the others. In case of doubt (for example if the hands do not touch), the player whose hand covers the largest area of ​​the card wins.

The game ends when the last monster in one of the three piles is captured. Each player then adds the points of their face-up Monster cards and subtracts one point per face-down Monster card. The player with the most points wins the game.

In the event of a tie, the player who captured the most monsters at 5 points wins. If the tie persists, do the same with the monsters at 4 points, then at 3 points. In the (rare) case that tied players have captured exactly the same type of monsters, they share the victory.

The player who scores the most points thanks to the monsters he has captured will be declared the winner!

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

On 08/12/2024

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“To conquer without danger, we triumph without glory. »

Daily difficulties do not scare me, on the contrary, they are a source of motivation for me!

Because in times of difficulty, we step out of our comfort zone and learn to find a solution that we didn't already have at hand.

In the end, difficulty allows us to gain experience, because if we had not been confronted with it, we would not have been able to learn and evolve.

For example, the recurring network difficulties in Vaison forced me to organize myself differently and ultimately save time!

I also think of the backbiting and gratuitous nastiness that have allowed me to strengthen myself and live more peacefully from now on, even if they still take place.

You can't please everyone, otherwise it would be pleasing no one.

As long as I haven't hurt anyone, if people are angry with me for no reason, it's not my problem, but theirs...

I'm not the type who needs to do harm to gain attention, I prefer to try kindness even if it takes longer to work. ;)

Covid has put us all in difficulty in various aspects of our daily life and work. Thanks to a better balance between professional and personal lives, I was able and can continue to concentrate even better on your requests and playtime that suits you.

We might believe, when the difficulty falls upon us, that we will not find how to resolve it. But by thinking about alternative solutions, we can find more effective solutions or ones that we might not have thought of.

I did not think that Click and Collect could in the long term be a practical solution for some of my customers and I am satisfied that covid has allowed me to provide an additional useful service to those who use it!

In short, if life were too quiet, we wouldn't be pushed back to our limits and we would just pass by without learning anything, which I think is a shame!

Congratulations to all these companies who go through and continue to go through crises and trials and hold on!

Congratulations to all those who did everything they could to hold on and good luck with their new projects, may they bring them satisfaction!

Thank you to everyone who progresses alongside me at the store and in life in general.

Thank you also to those who have contributed and continue to contribute to my experiences of the store, good or bad…

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about The Fury of Ascalon!

It's up to you to escape the maze, from 1 to 4 players aged 16 and over for 90 to 120 minutes, by finding the answer to the quest!

More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog

Good day and good game ;)

In Ascalon's Fury, the goal is to find the exit from a maze.

The quest consists of a puzzle and six puzzles placed in three envelopes which must be opened one after the other starting with envelope 1.

The solution to each puzzle relates to the correct position and location for each of the three rotating pieces and a clue to the shield you will need at the end to secure your exit from the maze.

Start by assembling the puzzle on the rectangular shape of the poster. Read it and analyze the notebook.

When the puzzle is completed, you can open envelope 1 and read the first riddle carefully.

When the puzzle and riddles are solved, fold the poster once over the puzzle and carefully turn it over to check the back of the complete puzzle.

Open the poster and hold the red filter near the back of the puzzle to check if the position of the small puzzles is correct.

For each puzzle, there are two clue cards. You can use them however you want. Use the red filter provided to read the contents.

Start by opening the “A” card if you need a little help.

Use card “B” to guide you to the solution.

The clue cards do not contain the answers; they simply guide you in the right direction.

Good day and good game ;)

You will find the complete answers in the PDF below.

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“He who follows in the footsteps of others can never come first. »

I always knew from the start of the store that I wanted to offer something that didn't exist in Vaison, that is to say board game activities.

I was happy to bring something original to Vaison and in fact the store's logo is inspired by this desire to bring people together through board games.

You will be able to see men holding hands and a man who creates this link between the other two.

You will also be able to see that the general shape of the men forms a “V” for Vaison and a delighted smile for the rapprochement of the characters via board games.

I also wanted to show that the world of board games from the 80s and after, which wanted to be elitist, was no longer necessarily so now...

Board games are now aimed at all types of audiences, from beginners to game enthusiasts, with family or friends while maintaining an “expert” part that appeals to more seasoned players.

I have played games in Vaison, its surroundings and in many other places and I am very happy to always be able to offer you these game times that I particularly like!

I will always be a force for suggestions and sharing my passion for board games in events and in stores, because you are always receptive and motivated so that in Vaison, we Play the Game! ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Michel Strogoff!

In Michel Strogoff, succeed in transmitting the Tsar's mail, from 1 to 4 players of 45 minutes from 12 years old, to prevent the fall of Irkutsk!

Russia, late 19th century. Colonel Ivan Ogareff, a traitor to his homeland, allied himself with the Tartars to invade the empire.

The Tsar asked his bravest couriers to go as quickly as possible to Irkutsk in order to warn his brother, the Grand Duke, of the danger which is about to sweep over him...

The cards are the main element of the game and represent all the different aspects of the novel: the dangers of the journey, the allies you will meet, the experience you will gain, and even the movements of the traitor Ivan Ogareff.

The game plays in quick rounds. Each player takes their entire turn, then the next player takes their entire turn clockwise.

When all the players have taken their turn, it is up to the villain of the story, Ivan Ogareff, to take action; he is represented in the game by the cardboard Traitor figurine which is always placed to the right of the first player.

The process is repeated until one player achieves victory by reaching the 11th space of the journey, Irkutsk, and defeating the traitor; or until Ivan Ogareff successfully invades Russia, defeating all players or entering Moscow with the Tartars.

Each complete round consists of the couriers phase and the traitor phase.

During the couriers phase, the player after asking (or not) for help from an ally, can choose either to advance, to rest or to face dangers.

Once all players have completed the Couriers Phase, Ivan Ogareff is then activated.

During this phase, Ogareff advances, the Tartars move, and other effects occur, such as the arrival or departure of allies who help the players, or the activation of abilities.

During the game, certain characters will move in and out of the story setting, potentially helping players with their special abilities.

At the start of his turn, a player can, if he wishes, discard an Action card from his hand (or two cards for Captain Strogoff) and activate the ability of an ally.

Only an Action card showing the portrait of one of the allies present on the board can be discarded to activate this character's ability.

If Ivan Ogareff reaches the end of his journey, place his pawn on the Irkutsk space.

From this moment on, when a Traitor Phase begins, no Action cards are drawn. Instead, roll the action die and the players activate their abilities based on the result of the die, then the Tartars advance towards Moscow the number of squares indicated by the action die.

If they enter the capital, their invasion of Russia succeeds and the players lose the game.

During his turn, if a player advances and enters square 11 of the course, Irkutsk, he does not draw a Road card, but instead begins the final duel with Ogareff which will end in victory or death!

After having eliminated all his Road cards, and if he has not lost all his energy, the player must now face Ivan Ogareff.

One by one, he must draw and then overcome as many Irkutsk Road cards as indicated by the zone in which the Ivan Ogareff pawn is located (from 3 to 5 cards).

For each card drawn, an Action card must be played from the player's hand with a corresponding icon, or lose 1 energy point. Then we move on to the next card if the player's Energy token has not reached zero.

If a player reaches zero energy, regardless of the situation, they die and are eliminated from the game.

The Irkutsk cards that were part of the confrontation are discarded (the other players can memorize the cards; knowing that they will not have to face them can help them).

The rest of the players continue to play normally. If the Irkutsk draw pile becomes exhausted, reshuffle the discarded cards.

If, after facing all the required Irkutsk cards, you have at least one energy point left, you have successfully defeated the traitor!

The Highlands, Scotland

The Highlands are a mountainous region to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault which runs through Scotland from Arran to Stonehaven.

This very sparsely populated and infertile region is covered with hills and mountains, several peaks of which exceed 1,000 meters in altitude, the Grampians Mountains to the south and the mountains of the Northwest Highlands to the north.

Thus, the highest peak in Scotland and the British Isles, Ben Nevis, rises to 1,345 meters above sea level in the Grampian Mountains.

These two massifs are separated by the geological fault of Glen Mor in which the Caledonian Canal stretches which connects the North Sea to the Scottish Sea and, beyond, to the Atlantic Ocean.

This canal passes through three large lakes: Loch Ness (famous for its so-called monster), Loch Lochy and Loch Oich.

The fictional Hogwarts School is located in the Highlands in the Harry Potter saga.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“Humans live by finding refuge in each other’s hearts.”

My daily joy at the store is sharing unique moments and discussions with you around board games.

With each game or discussion, I draw inspiration from your expectations and desires to try to offer you activities or game choices that suit you.

All these unique moments remain engraved in me and enrich my experience inside and outside the store day after day.

You help grow the store and me with every experience we share together. So, thank you to everyone who contributes to sharing the playful passion with me. ;)

From those who encouraged me from the start of the store creation project, to those who joined me along the way and to all those who will join me along the way, you all leave one less positive footprint.

I love offering you original and unique play moments and you reciprocate this with your kindness and compliments which I greatly appreciate.

So what if we continued to enjoy the fun world of board games together for a long time to come?

I'm here as long as you're here to share the playful world with you ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Vanagloria!

In Vanagloria, collect all the energy points from the source, with 2 players and more than 30 to 40 minutes from 14 years old, to become the master of Vanagloria!

There was a time when Vanagloria was an enchanted world where entities lived in peace and harmony. Unfortunately, those days are over.

Now Vanagloria is bewitched and corrupted by dark sorcerers seeking to conquer the world at the expense of life itself.

For years, these masters of black magic have fought to capture the source of energy.

The first to possess it will crush their enemies with the back of their hand.

The cards represent the game's shadow wizards and the values ​​0.50 and 100, the three levels of wizard energy concentration.

We will increase by 50 with each concentration of energy and we will lose 50 with each attack from our opponent.

The five different types of action cards allow you to:

- duplicate your wizard to introduce another wizard into the battle,

- to concentrate energy by 50 and up to 100 each time,

- to summon a magic sword which will allow you to attack your opponent,

- attack cards which allow you to attack your opponent after summoning a magic sword,

- to protect yourself with a shield.

Magic sword cards allow wizards who are equipped with them to attack an enemy wizard, inflicting 50 energy concentration damage if they did not have a shield to protect their attacked wizard.

We randomly mix 5 point cards per player to create the “general objectives” deck, then place them in the center of the playing area.

We place in front of each player a “personal objectives” deck which will contain 5 random cards from the remaining point cards.

We designate the first player at the start of the game and then play in a clockwise direction. At the end of each turn, the player to the left of the first player becomes the first player.

Each player starts the game with a wizard card at level 0 (turn the card so that the 0 is at the top).

At the start of each turn, the card from the “General Objectives” deck is revealed. If this is exhausted, the first card of each “personal objectives” deck is revealed.

Then all players must add two action cards face down to all their wizards at the same time.

Once all the cards have been added, each player will take turns revealing an action card linked to a wizard of their choice and carrying out its effect before letting the next player play.

As soon as a player has shown his last action card, the round ends when the other players have also revealed the same number of cards as the first player. Which means that if a player only has one wizard in play, the other players will only be able to use two action cards even if they still had 2 or 3 wizards.

At the end of the round, the player who has the most wizards at level 100 takes the card from the “general objectives” deck which was revealed at the start of the round. In the event of a tie, or if no player has a level 100 wizard, the card from the “personal objectives” deck is discarded.

After that, all level 100 wizards go back to 0 and all players take back their used action cards and a new round begins.

When all objective decks are exhausted, the game is over. The player who obtained the most points with the sum of the point cards from each round wins. In the event of a tie between two or more players, additional rounds will be played between them by shuffling all the objective cards. The first person to obtain an objective card wins the game.Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“We are more likely to turn towards the rising sun than the setting sun.”

We all love these games that bring us together and that everyone knows, because almost all of us know how to play them.

Because these games are reassuring and sure values ​​that appeal to a large majority.

But there are also fun nuggets that we didn't expect and which arrive and surprise us with their accessibility and their incredible playability and replayability.

I have also chosen to offer you games in the store, but not only that... You will also find lesser-known games, but just as good as the others, because they offer a new approach.

During the Golden Aces and the International Games Festival in Cannes, the games benefit from the effect of the rising sun and are highlighted there.

In the setting sun, when you are very curious, you can also discover beautiful, playful nuggets that are not as highlighted.

These games from small publishers which do not benefit from the optimal light of a large distribution house but which offer playful wonders.

As you may already know, I am a curious serial gamer long before being the manager of my little store.

So, for me, little fun nuggets like for example Hive by Ludidistri and other wonders that go unnoticed always interest me…

So if you want to join the game enthusiasts who come to discover these fun nuggets from me and the other independents who offer them, you are always welcome. ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Venice!

In Venice, ride on stilts, for 2 to 4 players for 45 minutes from 10 years old, to collect all the precious stones!

More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog

Good day and good game ;)

In Venice, we go in search of precious stones in the heart of the city before the other players by going from piling to piling.

To reach the gems you have to find the best path in this maze.

To do this, you play cards. They allow you to place, remove, move boards and also move forward 1, 2 or 3 steps.

You can take advantage of the boards placed by your opponents to go faster. You will have to keep an eye on them, they could remove boards from under your nose.

When you arrive at the square where one of your stones is located, take it and place it on your tent, then continue your turn.

Play cards within the limit of 4 hourglasses or take a joker card. Then draw 2 cards.

If you have more than 8 cards in hand, discard the ones of your choice. Place them on the location as well as the cards played face up.

When there are no more cards in the draw pile, shuffle those already played to form a new one.

When you collect one of your precious stones, you gain an hourglass tile. It can be played immediately or during a next turn, it can be combined.

On the turn where you use hourglass tiles, you can play cards up to the limit of 4 hourglasses + 1 per tile.

During your turn, you can also exchange 4 cards of your choice for a joker that you can play immediately.

This is particularly useful when you need a specific card or when you end your turn with more than 8 cards.

Moving from one plank to another plank counts as a step, just like moving from one plank to a stilt or vice versa.

ē

Several pawns can cross paths and be on the same board or the same stilt.

Place a joker, it replaces any card, at your convenience. You cannot have more than 2 jokers in your hand. Once played, return it to the joker pile.

The board has a second side which allows you to play in the heart of Venice at night and offers two additional stilts to open new paths.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“Once the game is over, the king and the pawn are both placed in the same box. »

When the game ends, all the game pieces return to the box. At that moment, they are all on an equal footing, but before they all participated in a more or less calm game.

We do not necessarily have the same game or the same hand at our disposal. But knowing how to use an unfavorable hand to learn its weaknesses and make an experience of it is a great feat.

Starting from a position of strength is not always a guarantee of a winning game. Depending on the cards or pawns that appear during the round, the course of the game can change at any time.

Just as a failure does not necessarily leave us checkmate, whether we place our pawns well or not, sooner or later we end up learning from our mistakes.

The trump card will not always be in our favor, but by combining our positive and negative experiences we end up finding the combo that suits us.

I didn't start from an easy life, people put obstacles in my way and they continue to put obstacles in my way even today, but I would never take the hand of returning the medal.

In the end, failures, if we want to continue to believe in them, learn from our mistakes and be comforted by our successes, it is already a victory.

And at the end of the game, once the pawns and kings are placed together in the same box, what will remain above all with us is the memory of the games and moments that we shared with those who mattered most to us….

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the Huitstitis Mariachis!

In Huit’stitis Mariachis, it’s going to be swinging, from 3 to 7 players for 15 minutes from 5 years old, to bring together the mariachi group!

You have to bring together eight mariachi marmosets, each playing a different instrument.

The first group thus formed will be able to tour the world and escape the hunters!

A master of the game is appointed. His role will be to draw the cards and arbitrate between the players in case of doubt.

If the game master cannot find out who won a card, he places it back at random in the pile.

It is not possible to play and be master of the game in the same game. If there are only two players, an adult can be asked to play this role.

Between 2 and 3 players, 4 marmosets are removed from each instrument. These cards are put aside for the entire game.

The game master draws the cards and presents them one after the other to the players.

If it is a “musician” card: the first player to imitate the musician on the card while saying the name of his instrument wins it. He then places the card in front of him, face up.

A player can win the same “musician” card several times, he then places it on similar cards in his game. This can allow him to block his opponents!

If it is a hunter card: the first player to make marmoset cries while scratching his head wins the card.

He can then choose a card of his choice from the game of one of his opponents.

The hunter card drawn is then put aside for the entire game.

The game ends when a player has collected eight different mariachi marmosets: one for each instrument.

“Happiness is a habit to cultivate. »

Since I started the store, 6 years ago now, I always enjoy it every day.

I like to share these moments around board games with you, because beyond just playing a game, we share a unique moment.

I enjoy spending quality time playing board games every day and our discussions at the same time warm my heart.

These moments always teach me more about you and open me up to other life experiences, which for me is always enriching.

I try every day to see the bright side of things as much as possible, even if life doesn't always have good sides. Things won't get better if you think everything will go wrong.

It’s as if we wanted to run a race, but said we didn’t want to try because we would surely lose; when we have already lost since we did not want to try...

And believe me I am not spared from difficulties, but if we do not learn from all these experiences that life offers us then we remain in a position of perpetual waiting.

Happiness can be cultivated and through habit, we manage to see the experience that the bad trials we go through also offer us…

I learned to take a step back to allow the store to develop and offer you new things every day.

Ultimately, the mean things done against my store to demean it only strengthened it even more than before!

So thank you to all those people who say no, who put obstacles in the way, who belittle my store because you allow it to continue to progress even more than I had planned to do myself^^.

I plan to continue to mostly see the positive side of things, because that's the person I am and what benefits my store the most.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about French Tour!

In French Tour, let's explore France, from 2 to 6 players for 20 minutes from 7 years old, and win the most cards!

In French Tour we will try to find where the places are located using clues from objective maps.

We separate the piles of face-down cards into three piles, yellow, green and blue, then we choose one of the piles.

The cards are then distributed among the players. Each player then looks to see if they have pairs composing a panorama of a monument or known place in France.

They then remove the pairs and place them face up in front of them on the table.

The player to the dealer's right then presents his face-down deck of cards to his neighbor, who takes one at random.

If the new card drawn allows you to compose a new pair, you also place it face up in front of you on the table.

All players proceed in the same way until only the “intruder” card remains, the sand rose.

Players then count 1 point per pair won. Then they keep the won pairs face up in front of them.

We then place the map of France in the center of the table and then challenge the other players to find on the map the places indicated on their pairs of cards.

The challenged player must find on the map of France in 20 seconds where the place concerned by these maps is located.

If the player succeeds, he gains an additional point. If he makes a mistake, he gives his pair of cards to the player who challenged him.

The game ends when all players have played their pairs.

The player with the most points at the end of both phases of play wins the game.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“It is by stumbling that we learn to walk. »

Like when we are children, when learning to walk we stumble very often, and yet, that does not stop us from getting up and continuing to learn to walk...

I have failed at certain things in the past. I think, for example, of keeping calm in the face of provocative people to annoy us.

I never insulted them, but yes I got momentarily angry, because I thought at the time that we always had to protect ourselves…

Then, over time, I realized that calm and ignoring provocation or denigration were much more comforting than wanting to be right at all costs.

Defending yourself against people who only see problems where there are solutions is often useless, because they will find other problems in the solutions that we have found again...

I decided to move forward and not dwell on when will we say about people who are determined to judge me without even trying to know me…

However, I wanted to apologize to the people to whom I was able to respond curtly when they insulted me or openly disrespected me...

Not for them, but for me, because they clearly had no business disrespecting or insulting me... But I shouldn't have wasted time giving them importance...

I nevertheless thank these people who allowed me to question myself and progress towards a better version of myself, more serene and determined to continue to develop my store in a lasting way...

And above all, thank you to all those people who, on a daily basis, support me, believe in my playful project and with whom I share with joy and pleasure the most beautiful things the gaming world has to offer. ;)

Today we are going to talk about Patouche!

In Patouche, be the best shepherd, from 3 to 5 players for 15 minutes from 7 years old, but watch out for the wolf who prowls!

More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog

Good day and good game ;)

In Patou'che, each player plays a shepherd who dreams of having the largest flock of sheep.

But watch out for the wolf on the prowl!

He also likes sheep, and as they are afraid of him, they run away! To prevent their sheep from getting lost in the mountains, players can count on their faithful shepherd dogs: the patous.

At the start of the game, we sort the Sheep cards and the Patou cards into 2 separate piles, yellow border face up; then we place them in the center of the table.

A player receives the 3 dice and places the Wolf token on the yellow side in front of him. This player can roll the dice up to 3 times. He is obliged to keep at least 1 die after each throw.

A saved die cannot be re-rolled. Once the result of the dice suits the player, or after 3 rolls maximum, the action of each die is applied.

Then comes the next player's turn in clockwise order.

On the wolf side of the die, it moves one player to the left. This player discards as many Sheep cards not protected by a Patou card as the number of Wolves on the dice.

The cards thus discarded are put back under the deck of Sheep cards.

On the Patou side, the player takes as many Patou cards as the number of Patous visible on the dice and places them in front of him, either below a Sheep card already present, or next to another Patou card. there are no Sheep cards to protect.

If the deck of Patou cards is empty, they are taken from one of the players who has the most.

On the sheep side, the player takes as many Sheep cards as the number of Sheep visible on the dice, and places them in front of him, either above a Patou card already present to be protected, or next to the other Sheep cards already present in front of the player.

The cards are added to the right in the continuity of the fresco: the Sheep at the top, the Patous below.

As soon as a player has 6 Sheep cards, each of the other players plays again one last time.

The player with the most Sheep cards is declared the winner.

A variant allows more developed games with Patous effects and more possible dice rules, but also cooperative games!
