Hello everyone ! Today we are going to talk about Rummukib!

Rummikub is a game of sequences of 30 to 45 minutes for 2 to 4 players where you have to put number sequences according to the tiles you have.

To win at Rummikub, you must position all your tiles on the table by making sequences or series.

Sequences: You place AT LEAST 3 consecutive tiles (i.e. on which the numbers shown follow one another) of the same color. The series: You deposit, AT LEAST, 3 tiles on which are indicated the same number but of different colors.

To start the game, each player draws 14 tiles which he then places on his easel so that the curious little ones cannot peek!!! The rest of the tiles will be used for the draw pile.

To determine who will start, each player draws a tile. The one with the highest number will start.

ATTENTION: For a player to start, the combination(s) he places on the table must be worth at least 30 points. If not, the player draws a tile and it is another player's turn.

Reminder: A combination must have at least 3 tiles, but you can also use your tiles in different ways:

 If a player uses a joker in his combination, you can recover it by placing the tile he was replacing. ATTENTION the joker must be used immediately in another combination.

 You can also add a tile at the end of a combination in order to recover the tile that is at the other end. to use it immediately in another combination).

 If you want to use a tile already positioned in a combination you can but you must absolutely replace it with another tile.

 You can also divide an already positioned suit into two. you can remove one in order to use it. The player who lays his tiles the fastest wins the game.

The other players must therefore add up the points remaining on their rack.

These points will be negative points. A joker left on your easel will cost you 30 negative points.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Born during the rise of board games!

Born in the late 80s, I was born at the propitious moment in the development of board games that preceded our current board games.

The 80s and 90s saw the board game take a turn by becoming a more developed and affordable family practice.

Following wider diversification in these years, the rise of board games exploded in the 80s.

Games became more varied and therefore reached a wider audience.

These same 80s when we see the development of toy libraries and the professionalization of the field thanks to events such as the Spiel des Jahres from 1978 in Germany and especially the Cannes International Games Festival.

I played games that no longer exist such as the secret phone, let's draw fashion, trap marbles, mouse catcher and many more...

We have all also already played these games that still exist such as Uno, monopoly, good pay, destiny, doctor maboul, power 4, trivial puirsuit, gluttonous hippo, sinking touchdown, twister, etc…

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about SuperGang!

SuperGang is a cooperative game of about 120 minutes for 3 to 5 players.

In SuperGang, each player is the godfather of a mafia team made up of three gangsters: the killer, the dealer and the vamp (femme fatale).

The object of the game is to own a complete suburb of the city or be the last surviving gang.

A variation has a fifth player having the cops with the goal of sending all the gangs to jail.

You can steal money from the streets, sell drugs, vampirize other players' characters, buy/rob/rob shops, or kill other characters, shopkeepers, or cops.  

The killer has a kill bonus, the femme fatale can vampirize characters, and the dealer is the only one who can deal (of course).

The cops are played by the player whose turn it is (so they move every turn of each player) except in the variant where they are played by a player.

 They can testify against or arrest gangsters but they can also be bought off.

The fights (duels) are resolved in the following way and are one of the originalities of the game.

Each player involved rolls the dice according to the characters in the duel (1D6, 1D6+2 for a killer, 2D6 for a cop) and adds them up.  The highest roll acts first and is the attacker.

A cardboard figurine is set up for each character participating in the duel.

 The attacker fires the dart gun at the targets with as many darts as the difference between the totals rolled. If he shoots all the opposing characters, he wins. Then the defender shoots with the same number of darts.

This exchange continues until one player has killed all of the other's targets. A face down target means the character has been killed. Face up means he is only wounded.

 If all 3 of a player's characters are dead at the same time, he loses. He should, however, recruit reinforcements before that happens.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is learning while having fun!

The game is an incredible tool to learn lots of new things.

In addition to learning to follow rules on an equal footing between all players, the game allows you to discover various worlds and develop your knowledge.

When playing Timeline, for example, placing major events in chronological order helps memorize these events, or at least get an idea of ​​their time of existence in relation to other events.

The game also develops curiosity if you look into it even a little. ;)

We discover that Hanabi for example means in Japanese "fireworks" by the ideograms flower and fire 花火.

Even by playing Uno, you learn to play American 8.

By playing Reversi, we learn moves that we also make in the game of go.

Even much more than learning, we have fun with loved ones and we sometimes discover hidden facets that only reveal themselves during a moment around a board game. ;)

For example, when playing Jokes de Papa against my best friend, I like to make a particular expression that makes him burst out laughing every time, as you know with Jokes de Papa, you laugh, you lose ^^.

By playing with you around a table on a daily basis, I discover you are determined, strategists, and even sometimes a little trickster. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Loony Quest!

Loony Quest is a game of about 20-30 minutes for 2-5 players.

In the wonderful land of Arkadia, a very old king has no heir.

He organizes a tournament to offer his throne to the bravest adventurer in the kingdom.

Up to five finalists will travel through seven worlds full of surprises...

  In the drawing game Loony Quest, players study challenging level maps and then try to replicate the outline to complete objectives and avoid obstacles on their tracing sheets.

When complete, players place their sheets on top of the level map to see if the designs line up with the targets they wanted to hit or avoid.

 Largely inspired by video games, Loony Quest players discover different worlds, play with 3D and 2D levels, meet wacky monsters - Loonies - and big bosses, trigger special stages, collect bonuses, inflict penalties on their opponents and accumulate as many Xperience points as possible.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is developing your logical mind!

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! ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Smallworld!

Small World is a conquest game of about 60-80 minutes for 2-5 players.

In Small World, players compete for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

Small World is inhabited by a wacky cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands to fend off other races. from the surface of the earth.

Choosing the right combination from 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players race to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors.

Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and drive a new one to victory!

 Each turn, you either use the multiple tiles of your chosen race (creature type) to occupy adjacent territories (normally) - perhaps defeating weaker enemy races along the way, or you drop your race into it. letting it "decline".

A declining race is designated by flipping the tiles to their black and white side.

At the end of your turn, you score a point (coin) for each territory occupied by your races.  

You can have an active race and a declining race on the board at the same time.

 Your occupation total may vary depending on your race's special abilities and the territories they occupy.

After the final round, the player with the most coins wins.

In 2004 and 2005, the "super ace d'or" (replaced by the "ace d'or" in 2003) and the "game of the year" merged to become the current "As d'or, jeu de the year”.

The game les aventuriers du rail then won the gold ace and game of the year for two consecutive years in addition to winning the Spiel des Jahres in 2004.

The Cannes International Games Festival and the Association Française de Promotion et d’Evaluation des Jeux de Société join their efforts by bringing together the golden ace for the FIJ and the game of the year for the AFPEJS.

The French gaming world then had a single quality label recognized by the profession and capable of seducing the public.

One price so audiences can navigate the ever-changing world of gaming with ease.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Playing is getting to know each other!

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.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone ! Today we are going to talk about Mysterium!

Mysterium is a cooperative game of about 40-45 minutes for 2-7 players.

In Mysterium, one player takes on the role of a ghost while all the others represent a medium. To solve the crime, the ghost must first recall (with the help of the mediums) all the suspects present the night of the murder.

A number of suspect, location, and murder weapon cards are placed on the table, and the ghost randomly assigns one of each in secret to a psychic. Each hour (i.e., game turn), the ghost hands one or more face-up vision cards to each medium, filling their hand to seven each time they split vision cards.

These vision cards present dreamlike images to the mediums, with each medium first having to deduce which suspect matches the received vision cards.  After the ghost hands over the cards to the last medium, it begins a two-minute hourglass.

 Once a psychic places their token on a suspect, they can also place clairvoyance tokens on guesses made by other psychics to show whether or not they agree with those guesses.

After the time is up, the ghost reveals to each media whether the guesses were correct or not.

Psychics who guessed correctly move on to guessing the crime scene (and then the murder weapon), while those who did not keep their vision cards and receive new ones the next hour matching the same suspect.

Once a psychic has correctly guessed the suspect, location, and weapon, they move their token to the epilogue board and receive one clairvoyance point for each hour remaining on the clock.

They can still use their remaining clairvoyance tokens to score extra points. If one or more psychics fail to identify their suspect, location, and weapon before the end of the seventh hour, then the ghost has failed and dissipates, leaving the mystery unsolved.

If, however, they were all successful, then the ghost has recovered enough of its memory to identify the culprit. The psychics then group their suspect, location, and weapon cards on the table and place one number per group.

The ghost then selects a group, places the corresponding culprit number face down on the epilogue board, chooses three vision cards – one for the suspect, one for the location, and one for the weapon – then shuffles these cards.

Players with low clairvoyance points turn over a vision card at random, then secretly vote on which suspect they think is guilty; players with more points then turn over a second vision card and vote; then those with the most points see the final card and vote.

 If the majority of psychics have identified the correct suspect, with the ties broken by the vote of the most clairvoyant psychic, then the killer has been identified and the ghost can now rest in peace.

If not, well, maybe you can try again…

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

A passion that makes you creative!

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.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Tic tac boom!

Tic tac boum junior is a word and speed game lasting approximately 20 minutes for 2 to 10 players.

This frenetic game is a wonderful exercise in invoking words.

Within a given theme, players try to find a word containing a certain set of words before the time bomb in their hands explodes.  

The bomb is an electronic timer with a variable time allotment, and a player is only allowed to pass the bomb to the next person when they come up with a word containing the theme words.

While the creative spelling of the words in question may be frowned upon, it's up to the guy next to you to determine your fate. In the basic version, recompose the word as quickly as possible so that the bomb passes into the hands of another player.

Hello everyone !

The golden super ace was awarded for the first time in February 1988 at the Cannes International Games Festival.

Super Gang is then the first game in a long series of award-winning games for 35 years now!

There were also prizes such as the golden aces of "imagination game", "friendship game", "adventure game", "letter game", "hope gold game", " interactive board game", "benjamin golden ace", "junior golden ace", "innovation", "dice game", "golden ace of the decade", "family game" and " pawn game” to name a few.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

A passion develops!

And since a passion develops, as it goes.

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!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Hanabi!

Hanabi, named after the Japanese word meaning "fireworks", is a cooperative game lasting 25 to 45 minutes for 2 to 5 players.

Players try to create the perfect fireworks display by placing the cards on the table in the correct order.

(In Japanese, hanabi is written 花火; these are respectively the ideograms flower and fire.) .

 The deck of cards consists of five different suits of cards, numbered 1-5 in each suit.

For each color, players try to place a line in the correct order from 1 to 5.

Sounds easy, right?

 Well, not quite, because in this game you hold your cards in such a way that they can only be seen by other players.  

To help other players play a card, you must give them hints regarding the numbers or colors of their cards.

Players must act as a team to avoid mistakes and complete the fireworks before they run out of cards.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Since 1978 in Germany the prize for the game of the year, literally the Spiel des Jahres is awarded.

Each year the prizes are awarded by a jury of specialized journalists to the German and foreign prizes of the previous 12 months.

The notations are made on the idea, the originality, the rules, the playability, the presentation as well as the mechanics of the game.

Nominations announced in May and prizes announced in June.

The Spiel des Jahres awarded special prizes such as "best complex game", "best fantasy game", "best historical adaptation", "most beautiful game" and many more!

They ended up disappearing later in favor of the creation of other awards in the late 80s.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

When the passion for the game takes you!

The passion for the game took me when I was about 2 or 3 years old.

It started with a basic battle game with my grandparents, then it continued with chess from the age of 3.

By dint of determination and failures, I ended up, thanks to my grandfather, a former chess competitor, by winning against him at the age of 5.

It was also at this same age that I began to learn to read and write, which allowed me to start creating my first board games.

Apart from having created a Risk with the world map of my schoolgirl desk and pawns and dice taken from different games, I was already creating stories.

Quite short, given my young age, but always sharing them with friends and girlfriends.

From the age of 9, I created stories in game books and others that looked like falling in love with escape games that we played at school with my little friends on the playground.

Since December 2022, I have embarked on game books for children and adults on the store's website.

You will also be able to find some in December 2023.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Ra!

Ra covers 1500 years of Egyptian history in less than an hour for 2-5 players and a game time of 45-60 minutes.

Players seek to expand their power and fame and there are many ways to achieve this: influencing the pharaohs, building monuments, farming on the Nile, paying homage to the gods, advancing the technology and culture of the people.

Ra is an auction and set collection game. Each turn, players can buy a lot of tiles with their auction tiles (suns). The game lasts for three "epochs" (turns).

Once a player has used their suns, the other players continue until they do the same, which can create a situation with only one uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round.

 Tension mounts because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three prizes for the time.

The different tiles give immediate points, prevent negative points from not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round.

And all this is for the glory of the Sun God Ra!

Good day and good game ;)

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! »

 

The Cannes Games Festival.

 

This year the gaming world is celebrating a special anniversary! 35 years is not nothing!

It has now been 35 years since a game first received the golden ace award.

A fun little flashback...

February 1988, two years after the creation of the Games Festival in Cannes where scrabble and classic games are kings, the world of games takes a decisive turn...

Arrive the famous Golden Ace and Game of the Year with different categories.

So 35 years this year that games are awarded and rewarded for their originality!

The first golden ace in 1988 was Super Gang, where gangs of evildoers run rampant.

Their goal is to bring in as much money as possible by doing heists and other thunderous activities until the police come in, we try to send him to the other players to save his skin...

Since 1988, the game world has evolved and its specialization has made it and still makes it unique in its kind...

Happy Birthday Ace of Gold Game of the Year!

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Hiroba!

 

In Hiroba, you have to place numbered pebbles in gardens based on the rules of sudoku and have the largest sum in these gardens to be able to score points.

For the first round, players must place a pebble on a starting circle present in the gardens (it doesn't matter which one).

Then, still in turn, the players can place a pebble by respecting the following placement rules:

-A pebble must be placed in the same row or column in which the player has already placed a pebble previously;

-There cannot be more than one pebble of the same value in the same line, column or garden (there are 2 gardens per tile);

-Each roller can be played on any side (each roller has 2 different numbers whose sum is 10);

-You cannot place a pebble where a pebble, a rock or a koi carp is already present.

If a player has a rock, he can place only one during his turn in addition to the numbered pebble. The rock is used to prevent another player from placing a pebble on it.

When all the players have placed their pebbles, the points are counted.

First, for each koi carp, the player whose sum of pebbles surrounding the carp is the lowest, wins the fish and can use it to double the value of a garden they have won.

Only one carp can be used per garden. Unused carp are worth 1 point.

Then, garden by garden, we add up the pebbles.

The player with the highest sum in a garden earns a number of points equal to the number of squares making up the garden.

We add up all the points in the gardens and the player with the most points wins the game!

Good day and good game ;)

Sessho-seki Stone

 

The Sessho-seki stone, which according to Japanese legends “seals” the spirit of a vengeful demon from the outside world, has split in two.

According to Japanese mythology, the Sessho-seki stone, which is actually a large volcanic rock, had the power to instantly kill anyone who touched it.

In short, she is said to be the transmutation of the "demon" known as Tamamo-no-Mae.

According to legends, this demon was believed to have been a beautiful woman whose spirit was possessed by the nine-tailed fox, or kitsune, a spirit known for its tricks and traps.

Known for answering every question posed to her, Tamamo-no-Mae is said to have been part of a plot to seduce and kill Emperor Toba, who fell ill as a result of the plot.

The fox spirit was then exposed and hunted down by two mythological warriors, and then incorporated the Sessho-seki stone as a final obstacle, releasing poisonous gas.
