Hello everyone !

Filitosa, a mineral enigma frozen in granite

A green valley, planted with olive trees and oaks, where cows graze, at the edge of the Sardelle stream.

Country sweetness in Corsica. Anyone who enters here can only be disturbed by the serenity of the place.

And then, suddenly, at a bend in the path, a strange appearance: thirteen granite statues with human shapes...

First there is, seeming to stand guard, the imposing “Filitosa V”, massive, square, with a well-drawn spine, unequivocally carrying a sword and a dagger.

Then, at the top of a hill, a series of seven monoliths lined up like an army, including "Filitosa VI", with a stern look, wearing a hemispherical helmet, and "Filitosa IX", with a sculpted face, a disturbing realism.

Further, below, arranged in an arc, five statues stiff as spears, terribly expressive.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV! ".

Tales and legends, the need to marvel.

Every year, as Christmas approaches, the Tales and Legends theme returns to the store.

Quite simply because it's the time of year that reminds us that together we are stronger.

The tales and legends, with their stories, are intended to be borrowed from morals and reflections on which to look…

Much more than simple stories for children told from generation to generation, tales and legends allow you to escape from reality for a moment.

For children, they allow them to dream big and marvel.

Hello everyone !

Our play with thought of the day comes from Jacques Lacarrière.

“If we want to find certain living aspects of ancient Greece, we must not look for them in the monuments, nor even in the places, but in such a way of being or of living, in a tradition, a festival, sometimes even a tale.”

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Guilds!

 

You seek to be elected at the head of Portyl, a medieval city made up of different more or less powerful guilds that you will have to convert to your cause in order to recover their votes.

The election is done in three ballots, with a count of votes at the end of each ballot. At the end of the third ballot, the player with the most votes will be named head of the city and will win the game.

 

Map selection Guild

Players take the cards they received at the start of the round, choose one and pass the remaining cards to their right or left neighbor.

Once a card is chosen, it cannot be changed. We proceed in this way (take the cards, choose a card, pass the remaining cards) until there are no more cards to select.

 

Place Guild Cards

Once the choice has been made, the players will lay down their cards, one by one. All held cards will not be played. Each player chooses a card from their hand and places it face down in front of them. When all players have placed a card, they are revealed simultaneously.

Each player places the selected card in front of him and classifies his cards by type.

 

Elections

During the first ballot, for each guild, only the player with the most cards from this guild is taken into account.

During the second ballot, for each guild, the two players with the most cards from this guild are taken into account.

During the third and last ballot, for each guild, the three players with the most cards from this guild are taken into account.

The player with the most cards scores as many votes as the first value of this tally.

The 2nd player with the most cards scores as many votes as the second value.

The 3rd player with the most cards scores as many votes as the third value.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

 

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are certainly the most mysterious wonder of the world.

Their existence is still debated and if the unanswered questions remain, the fascination is intact.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are, with the Pyramid of Cheops, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the gold and ivory statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Tomb of Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Their construction would date back to the 6th century BC and they would be the work of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon.

The latter, who devoted a large part of his reign to the embellishment of Babylon, would have created these gardens to please his wife, nostalgic for the green mountains of Media, a region in northwestern Iran from which she originated.

 Lush gardens overlooking the city Diodorus of Sicily, Strabo, Ctesias of Cnide, Clitarch, Berosus many Greek and Roman authors left descriptions of the hanging gardens of Babylon.

Few, however, have seen them, and most of these writings are reported stories.

Games that make you dream

 

We have not all necessarily had the thing of knowing the pleasure of meeting around board games.

Many of us have played classics such as thousand terminals, monopoly, uno and so on… :)

Board games come in so many different themes and offer a wide variety of game mechanics that it would be a shame to deprive yourself of them.

For children, these are often unforgettable memories with parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, etc.

I particularly appreciate when my players or customers tell me an anecdote related to the games that marked them and still makes them smile even years or decades later...

From a memory of a grandmother who used to play with her grandmother and now plays with her granddaughter, it's just a priceless heirloom.

A game can trigger more than just a game.

Whether it's a chat, an anecdote or a memory, there are moments that will never fade...

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Dragon Keeper!

In those primeval times when men and dragons were enemies, ancient adventurers left their home guilds to serve a dragon.

They protect it from repeated attacks by adventurers attracted by its fabulous treasure, buried in the basement of the castle. What if there was more than gold to protect?

In the tile collection game Dragon Keeper: The Dungeon, you play as these guardians and must capture the adventurers who invade the dungeon rooms, but you must remain loyal to your guild by avoiding capturing its members.

Once you have repelled the assaults, you give the dragon a portion of the adventurers you have captured as tribute... In more detail, the game contains tiles of five different colors and different values.

These tiles represent adventurers who want to steal the dragon's loot. You are responsible for removing these adventurers from the dungeon.

Each turn, you take one tile for yourself and give another tile to another player.

The choice of tiles depends on the position of the dragon (because the tile must be in its line or in its column).

Then the dragon is moved to the location of the tile that was just removed.

Thus, each tile decision limits the choice of the next tile to be taken. At the start of the game, each player receives a color that he keeps secret, this color corresponding to his guild of origin.

Each tile of this color gives them negative points. Players stack their collected tiles by color, and at the end of the game, the topmost stack is removed.

If this stack is the player's guild color, then the player must discard the next highest stack instead. Players then add up the values ​​of their tiles, and whoever has the most points wins.

Hello everyone !

The kingdom of Cantre'r Gwaelod lives on the blurry line between fact and fiction.

Welsh legend speaks of a long-sunken kingdom known as Cantre'r Gwaelod, once discovered off the rocky shores of Cardigan Bay in the Irish Sea.

Although hard evidence for 'Welsh Atlantis' has been lacking, a new analysis of one of Britain's oldest surviving maps suggests there may be an element of truth to this much-loved myth.

As reported in the journal Atlantic Geology, researchers from Oxford University and Swansea University recently studied the Gough Map, a famous medieval map of Britain, and found that it appears to represent two mysterious islands off the west coast of Wales.

No one knows who made the map, how it was created, or even when it was published, although most current estimates say it was made around the 13th or 14th centuries CE.

Gough's map is a little sketchy on detail (to say the least), but it's one of the first maps to show Britain in a geographically recognizable form.

Enchanted Christmas

This year, like the previous ones, our games and creative workshops allow children to enjoy a little of the magic of Christmas.

The creative workshops allow them to bring home a unique and original decoration.

Sharing these workshops with the children is for me an essential driver of Enchanted Christmas.

An animator for more than two decades, I offer these workshops every year with the aim of offering a playful moment around the games and Christmas decorations that we create.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about The Three Coins Legend .

 

At each turn, one of the players is the narrator of the story that we are all writing together.

We will use the chosen cards and the "story elements" dice to imagine the adventures of our main character.

Place the corresponding elements in their place, but be careful because the ink to tell the story is not unlimited.

Choose the map together to continue the story, with or without a hitch!

Depending on the coin placed, you can lose drops of ink that are so precious for the rest of the story.

If you run out of ink before the Happy Ending, the story ends and the game is lost!

Can you tell the legend of the three pieces or will the legend overwhelm you?

The Three Coins Legend is a cooperative and narrative game.

Your imagination will allow you to experience wonderful adventures together.

Hello everyone !

The korrigan

 

An integral part of Celtic folklore, the korrigan, a word which means "little dwarf" in Breton, is a mischievous and legendary little being who takes refuge in the moors.

We tell you all about these fairy tale characters!

He plays his tricks at dusk, coming out of his hiding place in the caves or dolmens of Brittany to dance and scare visitors...

The korrigan, from the Breton “korr”, which means “dwarf”, is a puny being, close to the goblin, which is part of Celtic folklore.

Recognizable by its funny appearance – pointed hat, imposing nose and large ears, impressive hair in particular – the korrigan is characterized above all by its very playful side.

Very popular in Brittany, they are the subject of many books, tales and other comic strips, and are the effigy of many shops, cafes and other public places.

Today, many inhabitants and visitors go in search of these mythical creatures by criss-crossing the region, in the footsteps of Breton history.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Palm Reader.

Palm Reader is a cooperative board game in which a symbol known to one player must be guessed by all the others.

Using his index finger, the first player draws this symbol in the palm of his neighbor on the left, who then does the same in the palm of his own neighbor on the left, and so on without anyone ever being able to see what is drawn.

 It is then up to each person to guess which symbol he felt drawn in his hand.

All players try to achieve the highest possible score together.

ROUND RESOLUTION

Without saying anything, the first player reveals the face of the card showing the symbol to be guessed, so that everyone can observe the 5 symbols of the card, and thus try to identify the symbol that has been drawn for them in the hand.

At this stage, it is still forbidden to communicate about the current round.

All the players raise a closed fist towards the center of the table and count down: “3, 2, 1? then simultaneously show with their fingers the number corresponding to the symbol they think has been drawn in the palm of their hand.

 The first player then says the number of the symbol to be identified.

Starting from the first player and going to his left, count the number of players who have correctly and successively made the next player guess the symbol.

Each player involved is worth 1 point.

The height of the victory is defined by the total number of points scored at the end of the 10 innings.

It varies according to the number of players.

Discover the game description and its video below.

They are believed to be parallel, but the United States goes further north than you think and the majority of Canadians live along the border, which marks the south of their country.

This means that, at 45 degrees latitude, Seattle is further north than Toronto and Montreal.

Playful pixies.

During the Christmas period, we offer manual workshops and free games for all children from 4 years old every Sunday in December before Christmas.

In addition to the workshops, I become a playful elf by volunteering play time with children in Vaucluse, Drôme and Gard before Christmas.

After Christmas, my role as a playful elf continues somewhat during the Suns of Winter games and manual workshops offered by the town hall of Angers.

It is important for me, at Christmas even more than at other times, to bring a smile to the faces of the children that we make play with my former colleagues from the town hall and the other volunteers.

It was my former colleagues who pushed me to tell you about the volunteer work I do, otherwise I would not have mentioned the subject.

Either way, my role as a playful elf brings me a lot of human joy.  

The smile of children and families is the greatest thank you we can receive.

Thank you again to all the volunteers in the fun world and all the volunteers in general, you are on top ;)

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

A fun tool for older children.

Board games allow older children to discover or rediscover game mechanics with various themes.

Whether it is a speed game to improve their reflexes or even strategy games to develop their thinking, games allow our elders to have fun while playing freely.

Tile or board games, in addition to helping with motor skills, allow them to develop or create simple strategic thinking and then more developed later.

Card games to play on speed, observation or simple strategies based on discarding or stop and again.

Some games are even based on classic games they know well to further their approach to games.  

To name a few, uno takes up the principle of the American eight; five kings that of rummy or even papayoo belotte and whist…

Cooperative and semi-cooperative games naturally encourage them to develop a strong team spirit.

Even for our elders there is a choice to play with them while having fun all as a family.

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

The board game, a tool for growing up while having fun.

The world of board games is developing more and more games to introduce children gently.

Starting with basic games like Happy Bunny to familiarize yourself with a game board, or like Detective Charlie to investigate!

Not to mention the 2022 golden ace for children, Bubble Stories, which introduces children to bubble surveys without having to read.

A treasure hunt to learn about board games while having fun and getting a taste for them.

Many parents, whether they are players or not, bring their children to express themselves and discover board games to awaken them.

One thing is certain, given the development of games in the children's range and their diversification, little players will always have plenty to do and marvel at!

The game allows them to have fun by following simple rules that can get a little more complex as they grow.

The game allows you to develop thinking, speed, strategy and above all fun! It's child's play, yes, but it's serious fun ;)

Your ambition is to select the most harmonious compositions that will bloom your beds.

 Well, your planting space is limited, you will have to make do with it as well as pots and flower bells lying around.

Watch out for prowling cats. You play gardeners at work, trying to arrange two flowerbeds at a time using various flowers.

A Parterre is completed as soon as it has no more empty spaces.

It is then counted and replaced by a blank Parterre.

You score points for each visible flower pot and bell.

 In the last game round, you only focus on the most promising Parterres.  

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

Discover the game description and its video below.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

This year, we have chosen not to offer you a catalog in paper version.

As in previous years and all following years, we are monitoring our impact on the planet.

In addition to reusing our packaging boxes, using recyclable gift wrap and tape, we do not offer you a paper catalog thrown away just after the holidays.

But we offer you even better!

An explanation of games for the youngest and the oldest for a game or toy that corresponds to what they want at the foot of the tree.

In stores, you can see the game or toy you want for Christmas even better and Santa's elves have ears everywhere, so they will know what children want. ;)

In addition to our year-round advice, you can consult our detailed year-round catalog at the click of a button.

https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/en/

You will find descriptions, photos of the games and even the explanatory video of the games!

All year round, we offer you spaces suitable for children, families and adults via our categories to be discovered in the description of the following photos.

We even offer vintage and refurbished games in addition to custom orders.

Since this year you can even buy playful nuggets from us thanks to:

- To gift vouchers from the store

- To the  Kadeos check

- To the Cadhoc chek

And in addition, by downloading the Fydl application on your phone, you benefit from a loyalty advantage for your in-store purchases.

The Jokers are accumulated on your online purchases to enjoy even more known or less known but equally interesting playful nuggets!

You will discover interesting links to our categories according to your interests.

Good day, good discoveries and good game ;)

Chickens is a variation of a memory game in which you are a burly young rooster ready to fight your way to the precious worm of this dear hen and win her heart.

Flip the dirt tiles to find the perfect dinner.

After you find two worthy worms, end the trick by shouting "Cocorico!!" and score points for correct matches - but don't be in too much of a rush!

Hello everyone !

 Canada owes its name to a Frenchman.  

Canada owes its name to the French navigator Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), the first European to explore the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the surrounding lands.  

In 1534, he left Saint-Malo, where he was born, landed in Gaspé, a city located in the very east of Canada, and took possession of it in the name of the King of France, François 1er.

 A year later, Cartier asked directions from two Iroquoians, who then pointed him in the direction of “Kanata”.  

In reality, they allude to the village of Stadacona, the current location of Quebec City.  

For lack of another name, Cartier then uses the term “Canada” to designate this city and the surrounding territory.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

Friend of the planet.

Aware that the smallest impact that we can have can be useful to the planet, a few obvious reflexes imposed themselves on me.

We turn off all devices that are not in use every lunchtime and evening: computers, printers, payment terminal, parcel terminal.

Standby being energy-intensive, we turn them off and only turn them back on when the store is open.

Everything is off as soon as we leave the store, including the sign and all the lights in the store!

These are small daily efforts that add to the reuse of our order boxes for orders made on the store's website or to create various decorations and displays.

All printing errors are used to make draft sheets.

We use reusable cartridges for the store's printers as well as recycled and recyclable paper.

Our gift wrap is kraft and therefore easily recyclable for reuse.

These are just small efforts, but they are so important for the planet and for us.

Hello everyone !

Products from the Americas.

Tomato, potato, squash, bean, corn, peanut, pepper, cocoa, vanilla, pineapple... turkey, all these products were unknown in Europe, Asia and Africa before the discovery of America in 1492, by Christopher Colombus.

Our food memory is very short.

It is often limited to flavors and products discovered in childhood.

 If we make an effort, we go back to a "very distant past", that is to say only to the childhood memories of our grandparents.

 This is why the cuisine of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century seems to us to be a cuisine that has always existed, the one that our ancestors have always eaten since "the dawn of time".

Most of us are then very surprised to learn that our famous local products are sometimes a recent invention on a historical scale.

Can you imagine Mediterranean cuisine without tomatoes or zucchini? Savoyard cuisine without potatoes? Indian cuisine without chilli? African cuisine without cassava?

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!

The game, a timeless intergenerational tool.

When I was an animator for the town halls of Anjou, where I am from, I had the opportunity to lead a lot of intergenerational play time.

I am happy to be able to offer such moments again thanks to the store in Vaucluse.

Creating additional complicity between parents/grandparents and children is a reward worthy of the time spent on it.

The board game allows you to create unforgettable moments in the right atmosphere around a table.

Discovering a little more while playing is a moment that you keep with you.

Sharing a game as a family is also a way to get to know each other a little better.

Who is the most strategist? Who is the fastest ? Who is playing with whom?

And many more questions and discoveries that only games allow...

So to your games and good games ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Bohnanza!

In the game, you plant and then harvest bean cards in order to earn coins.

Each player starts with a hand of random bean cards, and each card has a number corresponding to the number of that type of bean in the game.

 Unlike most other card games, you can't rearrange the order of cards in hand, so you must use them in the order you picked them up from the game - unless you can swap them with other players, which is the case.  

 During a turn, you must plant the first card or cards from your hand in the "fields" in front of you.  

Each field can only contain one type of bean, so if you need to plant a type of bean that is not in one of your fields, you must harvest a field to make room for the new arrival.  

This is generally not good!

Then you reveal two cards from the deck, and you can then trade those cards and any cards in your hand for cards from other players.

 You can even make future promises for cards received right now!

Once all trades are complete - and all trades in a turn must involve the active player - you end your turn by drawing cards from the deck and placing them on the back of your hand.  

When you harvest beans, you receive coins based on the number of bean cards in that field and the beanometer for that particular type of bean.

Flip 1-4 cards from this field to turn them into coins, then place the rest of the cards in the discard pile.

When the draw pile is depleted, shuffle the discard piles, replaying the draw pile two more times.  

At the end of the game, everyone can harvest their fields, then whoever has earned the most coins wins.

The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France.

 This monumental sculpture is one of the greatest symbols of the United States.

Proudly erected on Liberty Island in New York, it is known throughout the world.

But did you know that it had been offered to the Americans by the French people, as a token of friendship?

The iconic statue was built in France for 9 years before being unveiled to the public on October 28, 1886 to mark the centenary of the declaration of independence of the United States.

It was classified as a national monument in 1924 and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984.

Its official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World", or in French "La Liberté illuminant le monde".

Create a link through board games.

Board games are an invaluable fun tool! In addition to providing an unforgettable moment of fun, they also often allow you to open up to others.

Whether this link is between parents, grandparents and their children or between friends or acquaintances, the game allows you to discover the other through common rules.

Since I've been hosting, I've noticed that the game allows you to listen to others, because you need other players to progress in the game together.

Cooperative games are not the only ones to allow this.

Developing thinking, speed and strategy, "board" games also allow everyone to share together.

We always enjoy sharing a game with family or friends.

Party game, strategy, family, children; there is something for all ages and all tastes and levels!

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Sheepland! Sheepland is located on the beautiful island of the same name, where for centuries people have cared for sheep.

While inexplicably working in the same field, two to four shepherds try to move the sheep into the correct areas to score points.

 During a turn, you must perform three actions, chosen from these possibilities:

- Move your Shepherd

- Move a sheep

- Buy a land tile

You must move your shepherd at least once during your turn, and you cannot perform the same action twice in a row without moving the shepherd between the two actions.

 Six different types of terrain are available, with five tiles of each type and increasing costs (from 0 to 4 dinars).

When you buy a tile, you are not claiming land on the game board, but rather investing in that type of landscape because that is where you expect the sheep to eventually graze.

At the end of the game, you score 1 point per tile of a land type for each sheep in a region of that type; you also score for the coins still in hand.

Discover the game and its video here by clicking on the image of the game.

Good day and good game ;)
