Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! »
Let's play again, let's play always!
In case you still have some doubts, I'm a gamer! ;)
Video games, board games, I am an addicted gamer… ;)
Naturally curious about what is happening in the gaming world, I am able to test all the games that are offered to me.
And because I like to share a lot, I'm having you test it too. ;)
What's just magical is that over time, you've learned to trust me and put yourself to the test of various and varied games!
New or old games, nothing stops me from sharing good times around games with you.
Because a good game is above all a game that brings us together.
I even test children's games and toys before offering them ^^.
As one of my 8-year-old clients who discovered my secret said:
“You remained a child inside”.
That's quite right ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Thief's Destiny!
Nabbara: A city full of wonders and stories to tell - a glittering gem in the middle of the desert.
You are a thief, always on the lookout for the next target to hit.
You decide to sneak into the Royal Palace, break into its treasure room, and search for the mythical treasures said to be hidden there.
Among piles of gold, emeralds and precious jewels, you come across a chest containing a mysterious hourglass.
As soon as you touch it, you are filled with mystical energy and realize its true power: you are now able to see glimpses of your own future.
By adopting different courses of action, different paths unfold before you, allowing you to shape your future as you see fit.
Unfortunately, everyone in the palace is now after you...
Thief's Fate is a card game for 1-4 players in which each player represents a different possible future of the same character.
By visiting different locations, interacting with local characters, and making sure that certain events you've seen actually happen, you try to find the path that will take you as far away from danger as possible.
In more detail, players each have three areas in front of them: past, present and future.
Over five turns, players draft location, event, and character cards, adding them to their personal "future" area with resources on those cards.
Players extract resources from these cards, and when empty, the cards enter the player's present, after which the player can activate the power of these cards to score the fortune points they need to win the game .

Hello everyone !
The evil eye
The evil eye is a belief that a look, praise or compliment from one person to another has the power to bring a curse or bad luck to the latter.
The "murderous gaze", capable of attracting misfortune, illness or death, appears in the texts of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria.
In Europe during the Middle Ages, witches were known to use the evil eye against anyone who had the misfortune to cross their path.
Their victims were then stricken with various ailments, lost the love of their spouse or were thrown into misery.
In this belief, witches – being associated with the image of old women – would be linked to menopause.
Since witches could no longer see their age expelling their "impurities" through natural channels, they did so through their eyes.

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! »
The game, a universe always in motion.
The universe of the board game world as it is now has nothing to do with what it has been for a few decades...
He is now proactive and dynamic!
No more monotonous games that lasted for hours!
Classics are always good, but innovation is not bad, quite the contrary...
We see a lot of innovative games coming out with original mechanics powered by dynamic creators and illustrators.
Playful nuggets sometimes hidden in small publishers and distributors of board games.
The choice to offer you small publishers is vital for us.
We sometimes pass because of real good games because of the lack of knowledge of these nuggets and that's a shame...
We sacrifice ourselves on a daily basis to open the boxes, discover the rules and the equipment of the game and above all to play and play again to offer you games that we know.
Afterwards, we are not robots, with more than 1000 games produced per year, we honestly cannot test everything…
So let's test the games that are important to you and to us to offer them to you to share great moments with your loved ones around board games.

Hello everyone !
Our play with thought of the day comes from Stefan Zweig.
“It is rare for truth to make up for lost ground on legend.”

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Sagaland!
While walking through the forest, players look at the magic items hidden under the trees and memorize them.
When the King asks for an object, you must go to the castle to announce that you have found it if you have seen this object and remember its location.
The player who announces the most items will win the game.
The game board represents the region of Sagaland. A village, from where the adventurers leave, a castle, where you have to bring your finds, and all around, a forest.
A course, made of round squares, allows you to survey the whole in order to reach the 13 fir trees which will have been previously placed in the locations provided for this purpose.
The 13 symbols on the cards correspond to those of the 13 trees planted in Sagaland.
The goal is to walk in the forest and try to find out under which trees the symbols are.
When you know where the item on the card currently on top of the deck is, you rush to the castle and announce it.
On his turn, the active player will roll the 2 6-sided dice and advance his pawn.
To move, you have to consider each of the dice separately and understand that you can move your pawn backwards or forwards, but always by the exact number of each dice.
To be clearer, once your dice are rolled, you choose which one to use for your first move.
You complete this movement, forwards or backwards.
You resolve what is happening once on your new space, then you move the exact number of dice you have left, and you resolve again what is happening on your space.
When you arrive on a space, with your first die, or the second, several things can happen:
- If it is occupied by an opponent, you send him back to the village.
- If you land on a blue square, you can discreetly look under the corresponding tree to memorize the symbol.
- If you are exactly on the "key" space of the castle, you can announce under which tree is the currently coveted object.
You then take the tree in question, you discreetly look under it.
If the symbol doesn't match the castle card, you replace the tree and crestfallen back to the village.
If the symbol corresponds to the castle card, you show it to your opponents, you proudly take the card, put it in front of you, and turn over the next one in order to have a new object to search for.

Hello everyone !
An Italian knight is said to have stuck his sword in a rock in the 12th century.
Today, the sword can still be seen in Tuscany, but is it real? And was that the inspiration for Excalibur and the King Arthur saga?
The town of San Galgano bears the name of its knight, Galgano Guidotti, who lived there as a hermit during the last year of his life.
The story goes that his horse would take no orders from him and when he finally got on his horse he galloped straight to the top of Montesiepi.
Upon arriving in town, he stuck his sword he had used as a knight into a large stone up to the hilt as a symbol of ending his life as a knight.
The sword was actually deemed a fake, with some critics doubting its authenticity.
However, more recent studies from the University of Pavia have proven that the style, shape and material actually date back to the 12th century, between 1100 and 1200.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about the Grail!
"Graal" is a discard game that is played over four rounds.
During the first three rounds, players attempt to win quests by playing cards from their hand one at a time and using the powers of their Legendary card.
To play a card, it must match the color or symbol of the card in play.
Some cards allow you to play again, draw a player, block a player, etc.
The first player to run out of cards wins the round and the quest card in play.
At any time during the game, if a player plays the Grail card, he can win the game instantly, if he manages to play it as his last card.
If you reach the fourth round, the Tournament, then the players compete until the last survivor: the player who has no more cards in his hand chooses the player to eliminate and takes his deck, until he only one remains.
A fun game with friends and family with accessible mechanics and twists and thrills guaranteed!

Hello everyone !
The lake under Strasbourg Cathedral.
Legend has it that a real lake, where you can take a boat ride, stretches all along the Cathedral.
And some have tried to enter it.
In 1681, a soldier of Louis XIV learned that a well gave access to the lake.
At the time, the well was located inside a dark den opposite the Cathedral.
For some, this well would be the “Kindelsbrunnen” (dwelling place of departed souls), a cavity where souls die.

Share with you the pleasure of a game and contribute, on my modest scale, to the fun world! :)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Speed Maps!
In a distant land, magical beings roam the Enchanted Paths: a fire-breathing dragon and a pure unicorn, a wise wizard and a brave knight, a cackling witch and a beautiful princess...
Help fairy tale characters find their way to each other. Fold the game board to connect creatures and objects.
To win, you must be the first to complete the task, so hurry up!
In the Speed Maps board game, each player receives a special magic game board, which can be folded in 24 different ways. The object of the game is to fold your game board correctly and complete the task faster than other players.
Tasks differ in complexity.
There are 90 challenge cards in the game: 30 easy challenges and 60 hard challenges.
Challenge cards indicate the number of game characters that must be seen (or connected by paths) on a game board.
In order to complete an easy task, a player needs to fold the game board so that the required number of creatures or objects can be seen on one side of the board.
The difficult challenge requires that the game characters not only be seen from one side of the game board, but also connected by paths. The first player to correctly complete the task receives a card, as a reward.
The game ends as soon as a player collects 5 cards with completed tasks.
Play the game on both difficulty levels with your friends or alone.
Change the magical world of Speed Maps to your liking and help fairy tale characters meet each other. Set new records and have fun with this fantastic board game!

Hello everyone !
Ghost Festival pays homage to spirits
In Chinese culture, the spirit of a person who drowned, died alone, died in battle, or suffered another death where they were not buried would appear bodily and could only be seen at night. in the light of a torch.
The spirit of an ancestor who wished to report information or give a warning would appear in a dream.
Chinese belief in ghosts was strongly influenced by their practice of ancestor worship and the belief that the deceased continued to exert a powerful influence on people's lives.
The Chinese afterlife was seen as a journey in which the soul had to cross a bridge over an abyss where it was judged.
If the soul was deemed worthy, it continued, stopping at a pavilion to look back one last time at the land of the living, and then drinking a cup of a brew called Mengpo Soup that made one completely forget their previous life.

It is true that once the passion for the game takes you, you always want more...
Some players have discovered a passion, others a hobby, but the goal remains the same: to share the pleasure of board games.
A board game brings people together around a table for tens of minutes to hours of unforgettable play!
Whether you embody a character, manage your resources or play card discard games, the fun remains the same.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Splendor!
Splendor is a token collection and card development game.
Players are Renaissance merchants trying to buy gem mines, means of transport, shops, all with the aim of acquiring the most prestige points.
If you're rich enough, you might even be visited by a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.
On your turn, you can (1) collect tokens (gems), or (2) buy and build a map, or (3) reserve a map.
If you collect tokens, you take either three different types of tokens or two tokens of the same type.
If you buy a card, you pay its price in tokens and add it to your play area.
To reserve a card - to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents don't - you place it face down in front of you for later construction; it costs you a turn, but you also get gold in the form of a wild token, which you can use like any gem.
Any cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for subsequent purchases; some cards also give you prestige points. To win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents.

Hello everyone !
In ancient Rome, ghosts appeared in certain predictable ways and, usually, at certain times of the night
This phenomenon was known to the Romans as mirabilia (wonders or miracles) and included talking beasts, impossibly large female spirits, visions of gods, and ghosts.
Among the most famous of these mirabilia is the tale by Pliny the Younger (61-115 CE) which tells the story of the philosopher Athenodorus who comes to Athens and hears of a haunted house which goes cheap because everyone is afraid of the ghost that haunts him.
Athenodorus rents the house, and that night hears the rattling of the chains and wakes to find a man in his room beckoning him to get up and come with him.
Athenodorus follows the ghost to a place in the courtyard of the house where the spirit suddenly disappears.
The next day, Athenodorus asks the magistrate of the city to dig up the place where they find the remains of a man entwined in chains.
The body is buried with all the proper rites, and the house is no longer haunted.
This story is typical of a "haunting" in which a spirit appears to seek redress for a wrong. Improper burial of the dead – or lack of a grave – was believed to be the main reason for the return of a spirit from beyond.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! ".
Creating unique moments doesn't just put games on a table.
Playtime is a very concrete way for me to share my passion with you.
Far beyond just games placed on tables, sharing games with you is essential for me.
It invites me to offer you always unique moments depending on the players around the table and the games we share.
Not playing with you my players is inconceivable for me.
I love these moments when we exchange around and on the game in progress…
I would not offer you "commercial" animation but rather lively and always shared in a good atmosphere and good humor.
I like to help you discover your playful interests and guide you to moments that you can share around you with your friends and family.
My goal is fun!

Our play with thought of the day comes to us from Gustave Le Bon.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Orconomics!
Players compete to create businesses in ten industry sectors.
Businesses in each industry sector that generate income or loss and grant players abilities that can be used during the game.
As players build their business empire, they will also earn or lose trophies based on their presence in each sector and their dominance.
When a player holds a set number of trophies, the game ends immediately and that player is declared the winner.
During the game, each player has found or looted businesses in different sectors of the Orc industry: Tourism, Smuggling, Totemology etc.
The game board is made up of 10 sectors which are assembled randomly for each new game.
This gives a good replay rating as the sectors will have a different value and will affect each other.
Companies from different sectors offer a particular capacity of the sector.
For example, a leader of a totemology sector will have the ability to send a crisis to an opposing sector.
It also gives a variety of tactical decisions.
Another important part of the game - influence cards.
It's hard to get, but these cards are really powerful and can destroy your opponents' plans and become even more devastating in various combos with sector abilities.
Finally, the main concept of the game lies in the interaction of all players.
This forces a player to be involved in the game process even during the opponent's turn.

Gourmet friends, lovers of smoked bacon, knacks (Strasbourg sausages) and thick shanks, if you have a vigorous fork and an appetite as wide as the imagination, get ready to commit this sin of good food which consists of coming and guzzling at the Haxakessel ("the witch's cauldron"), a pretty table in the center of Rouffach, where the walls are decorated with hooked-nosed dolls flying on broomsticks...
The mistress of the house will serve you her famous haxasurkrut: the witch's sauerkraut.
At the table next door, regulars will explain to you that this specialty combining fermented cabbage, charcuterie and spaetzel (Alsatian noodles) actually comes from the depths of time: in all the family pots, we have always decorated this way what is called "the sauerkraut of the next day", these inevitable leftovers from the day before which remind us that in Alsace we often have eyes bigger than our stomachs.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! ".
Playing not to take yourself seriously
Board games have long been considered too serious.
Serious leisure that cultivates and enriches thanks to the different themes and different origins of the games, it allows you to meet a cultural and serious side.
With many professional authors and illustrators, the gaming world is a very serious business.
But not only...and fortunately...
They are a long way from the games that can sometimes seem daunting and endless.
Board games these days are dynamic, more advanced and above all entertaining.
Playing is an opportunity to access a new part of oneself. A freedom that the games allow thanks to the rules.
Playing is learning not to take yourself seriously.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Snakess!
During the 6 rounds of the game, you will try to win the greatest number of points by answering questions and influencing your opponents to make them answer incorrectly if you play as a snake.
Write down each player's name and give them a set of answer tokens: A, B, C, or Snake.
Then take the required number of character tiles. Start by shuffling the character tiles well and dealing one to each.
If you are the Mongoose, you must reveal yourself and place the corresponding pawn in front of you.
One of the players will draw a card, being careful not to reveal the back of the latter containing the answer. He will read it and place it on the table face up of course.
Once done, everyone closes their eyes, the reader flips the card over and asks the Serpents to open their eyes. They have 5 seconds to watch the answer.
The reader places the card face up and asks everyone (including him) to open their eyes.
We start a 2-minute timer and during this time, we debate and everyone places their vote face down. All that remains is to check the votes and the answers.
Each Human (and Mongoose) scores 1 point for each correct answer given and each Snake scores the same but with the wrong answers.
Only those who made a mistake do not score points on this round!
We start again 5 more times and at the end of the 6th round, we add the points. The strongest wins!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
The Minotaur's Labyrinth
In Crete is the island of King Minos, the labyrinth of the Minotaur built by Daedalus; it was indeed on the order of this king that it was built, in order to lock up there the monstrous creature born of the love of Queen Pasiphae and a bull.
Etymologically, the word would derive from the Greek term labrys which designates an axe, more exactly a double ax like those of which we found reproductions engraved in stone at Knossos.
Archaeological research carried out in Crete on the Minoan palaces, in particular that of Knossos, indeed reveals extensive constructions, the overall plan of which is complex.
The myth of the Labyrinth could only be a transposition of this architectural complexity.
A quarry located near Gortyn, called Labyrinth and mentioned by different authors since the Middle Ages, is also sometimes considered by them as the site of the mythological labyrinth.
According to legend, only three people managed to get out of the Labyrinth: Daedalus, Icarus and Theseus.

Joy is often the little things
One of the most interesting things about running a business is talking to our customers.
Especially in the field of board games.
A playful world where everyone is welcome and can find a game that will capture their interest.
Each exchange is enriching and allows you to take advantage of simple but important moments in the life of a business.
I often smile thinking of this little 4 year old dinosaur fan who when he saw dino magma couldn't stand still.
Or the delighted smile of this nice 85-year-old lady who, when she found the Twin It game to play with her grandchildren, opened it in the store to observe all the cards.
So many little things in the life of a business and life in general that make me happy and encourage me to continue to share these unique moments of my board game store with you.
So thank you all, you are adorable!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Rainforest!
In Rainforest, arrange your jungle harmoniously with the different types of vegetation and reintroduce the region's emblematic animal species to help preserve them: monkeys, frogs, butterflies or even parrots.
But don't forget to ensure the survival of your totem animal, because it will earn you valuable points. On his turn, the player performs two mandatory actions in order:
1 Take the first Jungle tile from a pile and then all the Species tokens of a single color or type from the same area.
2 Distribute the Species tokens collected on his Jungle tiles waiting in his blank area then validate those that are completed by moving them to his Jungle.
Each player was assigned a totem animal at the start of the game.
Tiles completed with tokens of his totem animal will earn more points.
As soon as a player validates his 9th Jungle tile, the players end the game turn and the game ends.
The player with the most points wins the game.
Will you manage to make your jungle a cradle of diversity?
Good day and good game ;)
Thanks for all those good moments!

Hello everyone !
Popular expression, "to fall into the arms of Morpheus" means to fall asleep
But who exactly was Morpheus and how does he refer to dreams?
Decryption of a well-known formula of the French language.
Who was Morpheus?
Falling into the arms of Morpheus is an expression that evokes a relatively unknown character from Greek mythology.
Indeed, many are convinced that Morpheus is an attractive young woman rocking sleepers.
However, there is nothing! Morpheus is a man.
It is more exactly the son of Hypnos, god of Sleep, and Nyx, goddess of the Night.
Morpheus is an illustrious character represented with butterfly wings, and touching the face of men and women with a poppy leaf.
Renowned for inducing dreams, in which he appears, he has the power to take the form of his choice.
Its wings, meanwhile, allow it to move quickly, without the slightest noise, so as not to wake anyone!

Share complicity and joy.
Playing is not only playing part of a game!
It's much more than that...
Playing is sharing a moment together, around a game of course, but exchanging and learning together.
We always have something to learn from other people and the game is a revealing element of character.
Engine of conversation and also of frank laughter, the game is a factor of good times...
The more they are shared, the more the games develop relationships on a common base via the rules of the game.
In games you can find the mediator player, the determined, the sore loser, the always ready and so many others…
But in games, what we always find is the shared moment, the complicity exchanged during them and the joy of discovering...

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about My kingdom for a story.
Basically, you need 4 level 1 tiles (the heroes and monsters), 3 level 2 tiles (the land), 2 level 3 tiles (the workshops) and 1 level 4 castle.
Last rule to respect: you can only place a tile on a higher floor if it rests on a tile of the same color.
Players score the value of tiles that meet these stacking rules. (max 20 HP) .
At the second level of play, which is aimed at the widest audience, players start the game with 3 story cards that each link 5 or 6 tiles as part of a story.
As players draft their tiles, they will select one of their tale cards. Each tile that will eventually appear both in their Kingdom and on the story map will give them a bonus of 2 VP.
The player who totals the most points by adding his Kingdom points and his bonus points wins the game and reads to the other players the adventure he has just experienced.
The third level of play is aimed at families of players who are used to managing several game parameters. The tales are typed there.
You can choose evil tales if you prefer to play bad and rot other players, heroic tales if you feel like a paladin or a love tale if you are more romantic.
Each type of account offers different conditions and bonuses.
A dozen events will take place during your draft and if you are opportunistic you may be able to obtain valuable bard tokens. At the end of the game, you score the points of your kingdom.
Now comes the spectacle of the bard taking over your adventure to play it from castle to castle.
The more bonuses you have accumulated during your game, the more chance you have that the bard transforms them into VP and that your adventure becomes legendary and that we still tell it to our children today.
Good day and good game ;)
