In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Ludo partners
Since the beginning of the store, we have started working with toy libraries and ludobuses.
We do our best to try to be a player in the playful world on our small shop scale...
Contributing to providing games for toy libraries and ludobuses allows us to discover "fashionable" games, but not only...
Many independent publishers go through small shops like us to test and introduce their games to the public.
But we don't just provide games to our partners, sometimes moments of game animations slip in here and there ;)
Who says games from small publishers, says discovery of fun nuggets for you to discover ourselves!
So we sacrifice ourselves, and we play the game to make you discover less known and interesting games. ;)
You may have tried it in the nearest toy library or the mobile toy bus that passed by your house...
If the gaming world has reached you, then we are delighted. ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Chawaï!
Each round in Miaui, players choose one of the cards in their hand - and everyone starts the game with the same cards numbered 1-12 - to show how deep they dive in hopes of catching the best fish.
All kinds of fish are served at the feast but watch out for slimy jellyfish and thieving seagulls.
In more detail, three cards are laid out from the capture game from the surface of the water to the depths.
Each player chooses a card and plays them simultaneously.
Whoever plays the highest card dives deepest and catches the card at the bottom of the lake, while the next highest card catches the card just above.
Whoever played the lowest card gets what's on the surface.
Sometimes that's not good because jellyfish cost you points and seagulls steal your last catch.
May the best diver win!

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Game on !
« To play is to experience chance. » Novalis.
Playing board games is giving yourself a moment out of time.
Board games allow you to share a moment of complicity where everyone, young and old, follows the same rules.
From the simplest game to the most complex game, the objective is the same: to have a good time.
Board games have various benefits: stimulate memory, promote concentration, develop a logical mind, manage emotions, explore creativity or enrich knowledge (among many others)…
Special moments of sharing, to strengthen social or family ties, to promote self-esteem and get out of shyness.
Whether confrontational, collaborative or other games, board games allow you to create a bond with other players.
That's why we like to make you discover the games and play them with you ;)
Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone ! Here is our play with thought of the day!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Venice!
We are going on a trip to Italy. After visiting Rome, the capital, we stop in Venice. It's carnival time.
This city, rich in art and history, is fascinating for its architecture. Buildings and streets intertwine with maritime canals.
We walk along these canals, we cross them on small bridges. Suddenly a masked lady calls out to us:
Hello, would you like to participate in the race for precious stones which is played on these pilings, in the middle of the canal? We accept her proposal.
You each represent a color and have 4 precious stones to collect: rubies for red, diamonds for white, emeralds for green and topazes for yellow.
You have a stock of boards that will allow you to go from stilts to stilts. To reach the gems, you have to find the best path in this maze.
For this, you play cards. They allow you to lay, remove, move boards and also to move forward 1, 2 or 3 steps.
You can take advantage of the boards laid by your opponents to go faster.
You'll have to keep an eye on them, they might pull some planks out from under your nose.
When you arrive on the space where one of your stones is, 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 your hand, discard those of your choice.
Place them on the space as well as the cards played face up. When there are no more cards in the draw pile, shuffle the ones already played to form a new one.
When you collect one of your gems, you win an hourglass tile. It can be played immediately or during a future turn, it is cumulative.
On the turn you use hourglass tiles, you can play cards up to a limit of 4 hourglasses + 1 per tile.
During your turn, you can also exchange 4 cards of your choice for a joker that.
This is particularly useful when you need a specific card or when you end your game turn with more than 8 cards.
The game is won by the player who first collects the 4 gems of his color.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Regarding parcels, 3 cases arise:
1/ You come to drop off a parcel
You will not need ID (except for an exchange).
You will just need a readable shipping label so that the PDA can record the deposit of your package and ensure its tracking.
You can also use Chronopost's Shop 2 Shop service, which offers to pay the postage of parcels online and have your parcel forwarded from one Pick Up point to another.
You can then come and drop off your Shop 2 Shop shipment.
The shipping label can be replaced by a relay label with the barcode received in a separate email.
For a cancellation, you will have to print and stick the part of the label with the barcode on the closed package and present the part with the date to us so that we can stamp it for you to provide proof of deposit.
2/ You come to pick up a package:
To collect parcels with or without Pick Up Pass (which only replaces your signature), you will need:
1/Your identity document (permit, passport, residence permit, identity card) to collect your package.
2/To withdraw it for another person, HIS or HER ID and YOUR ID.
3/ You come to exchange your Internet equipment or a telephone.
For the exchange of equipment from Internet or telephone providers, your package must be wrapped and in a box, because we only put a return label on the box you have prepared.
The box of equipment sent to you by your supplier cannot be opened and used to return the equipment you are returning.
NB: The Orange supplier is the only supplier where you will not need a box for the return.
The box in which your new equipment is sent is used for the return of the old one.
Withdrawals or exchanges of parcels, identity documents are MANDATORY!
Why ?
Because it secures the withdrawal of the package.
If one day your parcel is collected by a person who does not have to take it, the relay which has not checked the identity documents is responsible.
However, it is not necessary to present the following documents:
- Physical threats and various blackmails.
"I'm going to give you a bad rating on google. »
“I'm going to talk about you and your store badly and believe me everyone will know about it. »
Thank you to the 95% of customers who come to pick up packages with respect and understanding that this rule is there FOR them and not AGAINST them.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
Ludo’Entertainer
Throughout my decade of animation with children and teenagers, I also led animations for toy libraries and toy buses.
The intergenerational activities that I led for different organizations, allowed me to transmit part of my playful passion to a large number.
In Angers, where I come from, we ran workshops called “Pied 2 Bat”.
Like other animators, I went to the bottom of partner buildings and offered different games and activities to children in surrounding buildings.
“Anim’ ta cité” is a time of collective creations and local actions which also allowed me to get out of my comfort zone.
Always ready to offer activities and entertainment that bring people together, these experiences have really enriched me.
This is why when creating the store in Vaison, Joue le Jeu was not only dedicated to selling games!
Because the board game animation part is a way for me to convey my passion and share the pleasure of the game.
Coming to you to make you play and play with you was a no-brainer!
Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone ! Here is our play with thought of the day!
"A trip needs no motive. It doesn't take long to prove that it is self-sufficient. We think we are going to take a trip but soon it is the trip that makes or breaks you"
Nicolas Bouvier, Swiss writer, photographer, iconographer and traveller.
Good day and good game ;)
In 2 words game
Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Kokomots!
The goal of the game is to find as many words as possible in well-defined themes using at least one letter from our hand and one letter from the board corresponding to this theme.
All in a limited time, of course.
Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. We each take our turn.
The rule advises us to designate a player in charge of the hourglass and another in charge of being “judge” to verify that the words found correspond to the theme and that the conditions are respected if there are any.
Once the hourglass has started (45 seconds), try to find as many words as possible related to the theme.
Only one constraint, but it is significant: each word must contain a letter from a card in our hand, but also from a card present on the playing area, under the theme concerned.
So I pick up the three cards, a new theme will appear and a new letter also in the corresponding column and pile.
And so on, until the hourglass time is up, which is 45 seconds.
If no words are found, the player has the right to exchange his entire hand (3 cards) for new cards, but only once during his turn.
As mentioned, some cards are only playable by fulfilling a condition that they clearly state.
For example, they must be the first, second or last letter of the word.
They can also force the player to spell the word they just found, before it can be validated.
The good news is that these cards are worth more points than the others, and will undoubtedly make the difference at the end of the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Years of animation
21 years ago, I started to animate in a playtime association.
Having started playing games at the age of 3, when I was asked at 14 to lead a game time with other teenagers like me and for children, I did it quite naturally.
After my studies and having worked in commerce to finance them, I returned to animation to make it my definitive profession at the age of 24.
So I've been hosting officially for 11 years and unofficially for 21 years ;)
I never lost this desire to make people play and share my passion for games with as many people as possible.
Also around a game, “the more the merrier”.
So don't hesitate to come and continue to share the playful madness with us. ;)
And thank you for all our fun moments shared!
Good day and good game ;)

Today we are going to talk about Loops!
Settle into the cockpit and take off for an uncontrolled adventure...
In LOOPS, players fly the same plane together, taking turns controlling its altitude and direction.
Keep the right cards in hand and trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane.
The players take turns placing an altitude card (or several if they are identical), respecting 2 conditions:
- A direction: to the right or to the left (indicates the order in which the players located around the table must play)
- An attitude: positive or negative (indicates whether the altitude of the aircraft must increase or decrease).
When a player cannot place any card during his turn, he recovers all the cards placed on the table.
Keep the right cards in hand to never be blocked.
Trap your opponents by changing the direction or attitude of the plane using special cards.
Be the first to run out of cards to win the game.

United States: the disappearance of a lake
Have you ever heard of Lost Lake?
A lake in the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon, it completely empties each spring and fills up again in the winter.
A park spokesperson explained that the water is sucked up through a lava tunnel.
It is then necessary to wait for the winter season so that the river fills up again.
Intrigued by this phenomenon, several people would have tried to illegally plug the hole in Lost Lake.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
PIL or Face?
At one point, two opportunities presented themselves to me: to take up an interesting job in animation or to open a board game store…
Face, animation is a job that is also a passion!
A job that allowed me to rub shoulders with other great animators with whom I was able to forge solid experience in different types of activities…
Activities that have allowed children from 2 to 85 years old to share moments together, to listen to each other and to marvel.
PIL, Passion + Idea + Local, the perfect combo to turn a passion into a job!
A passion that makes everyday life more fun and friendly. Sharing it with you is just the icing on the cake.
An idea not only to sell games, but to ensure that the game is a shared moment.
A place that allows you to discover fun nuggets, but a name that is not limited to the local and is also exported to outdoor activities.
PIL or Face, although Face suited me very well too, PIL suited me even better!
PIL allows me to share my playful passion with you all.
So thank you for being at the playful rendezvous!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Oro del oro!
Lost at sea or hidden on the islands, many pirates have left their booty there.
Be smart, plan your route wisely and find their treasures.
Each player has 3 tiles face up in front of them and in turn must place one of their tiles to hold the treasure map, but it must match the rest of the tiles already placed.
You gain 1 coin each time you place a tile, then you draw a new tile.
Some tiles have a special power:
- Treasure Chest - earns you 1 extra coin based on how many tiles it touches when you place it.
- Hurricane - allows you to switch between players (including yourself) as many tiles as your tile touches on the board.
- Parrot - allows you to become the captain. The captain cannot be attacked and chooses in the event of a tie at the end of the game who wins.
- Fight - allows you to steal from another player (except the captain) as many coins as your tile touches other tiles on the board.
If during your turn you cannot play one of your tiles, you can discard the last tile and so on, paying 1 coin for each discarded tile.
The game ends when there are no more tiles to draw after playing one.
The winner is whoever has the most gold at the end of the game.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Master Islands!
It's about getting 8 cards to win.
To do this, you must align the cards horizontally, vertically or diagonally so that they have a value of 10.
It may sound easy, but it's not that easy.
Everyone participates in the discovery of all these new islands, suddenly, if you have accidentally left an interesting small island on the table, the other players can take advantage of it!
Each in turn, you have 2 mandatory actions to perform in the order of your choice.
Move your ship to an adjacent card or place a card horizontally or vertically adjacent to the ship you moved.
Well, precisely, how do you recover your famous cards?
To retrieve them, 3 conditions are required: that their value is exactly 10, that they are located on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line and that there is no boat on them.
You don't need your maps to be side by side, this sometimes creates holes in island mapping.
You can therefore only collect cards once per turn.
Who will be the master of the islands?
Good day and good game ;)

Enchanted Christmas and Brico’ Recup’
Every Sunday in December before Christmas, we offer free Enchanted Christmas workshops for children.
During 30-minute slots, children can discover board games or make Christmas decorations with us.
A time for discussion and creativity, the Enchanted Christmas workshops allow children to flourish...
Having hosted a “Brico’ Récup’” workshop for years, my goal was to make children aware of recycling and the environment.
We made unique and original creations from everyday objects by giving them a second life.
Brico’ Récup’ workshops that I continue to lead with children and teenagers to create decorative objects, furniture or even games and give them a second life.
We can't imagine all that we can achieve with recycled objects or everyday life!
During our manual workshops of the year and Enchanted Christmas, we try as much as possible to make use of materials and objects that would have ended up in the trash when they were far from being able to go there.
In addition to the ecological gesture, children and teenagers are happy to have a personalized object that they have made themselves.
Small gestures don't matter much, but it's these little things that make a big difference.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Istanbul!
There is a bustle in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar as merchants and their assistants rush through the narrow alleys in their bid to outsell their competitors.
Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods in the warehouses, then quickly transported by the assistants to various destinations.
Your goal?
Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.
In Istanbul, you lead a party of a merchant and four assistants through 16 bazaar locations.
At each of these locations, you can perform a specific action.
The challenge, however, is that in order to take action, you have to move your merchant and an assistant there, and then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on more important matters).
If you want to use this helper again later, your trader must return to this location to pick it up.
Thus, you must plan carefully in advance to avoid finding yourself without assistants and therefore unable to do anything...
In more detail, on a turn, you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant there, or pick up an assistant left earlier, then perform the action .
If you meet other traders or certain people there, you may be able to take a little extra action.
Possible actions include:
-Pay to increase the capacity of your wheelbarrow, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.
-Fill your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.
-Acquire a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.
-Buy rubies or exchange goods for rubies.
-Sell special combinations of goods to earn the money you need to do everything else.
When a merchant has collected five rubies in their wheelbarrow, players end that turn, then the game ends.
If this player is the only one to have achieved this objective, he wins immediately; otherwise, the ties are severed by the money in hand.

Virtuous circle
In an eco-responsible approach, a large part of our packaging received when ordering games is reused.
They can be used for the packaging of online orders, to create displays or even to create store and window decoration.
This is an approach that we have been carrying out since the creation of the store and apply in our daily actions.
For example, we turn off the lights of the sign, the store and the computers and other electrical and electronic devices as soon as we are closed or when they are not in use.
The gift wrap that we offer is made of recycled and recyclable paper, as well as the adhesive tape which is made of a totally recyclable vegetable plastic.
We have exchanged all halogen bulbs in the store and the sign for LED bulbs that are better for the environment.
We donate furniture or objects that we no longer use so that they can have a second life.
We try to contribute on our small scale…

Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods in the warehouses, then quickly transported by the assistants to various destinations.
Your goal?
Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.
In Istanbul, you lead a party of a merchant and four assistants through 16 bazaar locations.
At each of these locations, you can perform a specific action.
The challenge, however, is that in order to take action, you have to move your merchant and an assistant there, and then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on more important matters).
If you want to use this helper again later, your trader must return to this location to pick it up.
Thus, you must plan carefully in advance to avoid finding yourself without assistants and therefore unable to do anything...
In more detail, on a turn, you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant there, or pick up an assistant left earlier, then perform the action .
If you meet other traders or certain people there, you may be able to take a little extra action.
Possible actions include:
-Pay to increase the capacity of your wheelbarrow, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.
-Fill your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.
-Acquire a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.
-Buy rubies or exchange goods for rubies.
-Sell special combinations of goods to earn the money you need to do everything else.
When a merchant has collected five rubies in their wheelbarrow, players end that turn, then the game ends.
If this player is the only one to have achieved this objective, he wins immediately; otherwise, the ties are severed by the money in hand.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Passionate gamer
As you already know, I have been playing since I was young.
The world of games has always rocked my childhood and followed me until adulthood.
Working in a field where you live one of your passions is just great.
We no longer want to share it with everyone, because we love what we do.
As Novalis says
“To play is to experience chance”.
The game allows you to get together for a fun time.
Whether it is strategic, atmosphere, management, board, speed, etc...
The game is always a moment to sit down together and share.
Whether we take it very seriously or more lightly depending on our mood or desire to play at the moment, there is always a game that lends itself to our playful experiments, even the craziest... ;)
I leave the last word to one of my clients:
“We see that you love what you do, you put time and passion into it”.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Carta Impera Victoria!
CIV: Carta Impera Victoria is a game of CIVilization and diplomacy in which you develop your own civilization.
Be the first to achieve supremacy in a field to go down in history, but keep an eye on your opponents' progress.
Forming a temporary alliance can be the best way to prevent a player from winning… and remember that sometimes offense is the best defense!
In more detail, a player wins when he achieves supremacy in a field; if this does not happen, when no more cards can be drawn, the game ends and the players go through majority scoring to determine the winner.
The CIV includes six areas of competition: Military, Religion, Economy, Science, Culture, and Utopia.
The game's 104 cards are divided into three ages, which represent the natural evolution of world civilization through the timeline, but the cards for each realm are not evenly distributed.
Once the second age is over, for example, if you haven't yet reached the supremacy of Religion, it's time to think about another strategy.
Each field gives powers to the player who manages to reach the limit of cards in his playing area (depending on the number of players).
There are different types of powers, two levels of permanent effects, and a sacrifice effect for each field.
Using these powers in combination will be necessary to be the first to achieve supremacy - but using these powers is also a way to prevent competitors from achieving victory.
You will need all your diplomacy skills to enlist the help of others and prevent the leader from winning, but today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy, so be careful everyone and think about what combination of powers could lead to a surprise victory!
Be the first to use it!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
To finish our little selection of the dumbest DC Comics superheroes, let's talk about Zeep, The Living Sponge.
Something to end on a high note!
Indeed, when we translate its name it gives this: Zeep, the Living Sponge.
No, we are not talking about a cousin of SpongeBob but rather a superhero.
This character is part of the Hero Hotline, a group of heroes with diverse powers and ready to spring into action when icons like Superman or Batman are unavailable.
Thus, as its name suggests, Zeep, The Living Sponge has all the capabilities of a sponge but on a human scale.
Good day and good game ;)

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of the JJV Offs!
Human first
I remember one day this CEO of a large company who came to the store for services and ended up buying games for his grandchildren because he told me that you could see that I knew from what I was talking about.
There followed a long discussion about why I created the store and how long I had been playing board games…
Taking care of the steps he had to take, I didn't realize that he was watching me carefully out of the corner of his eye, absorbed in the reception of my other clients.
Once he was done, he paid and told me the following things:
"You know how to listen and respond to customer requests, it's not given to everyone".
"The attentive and benevolent attitude you have towards people is an invaluable asset and few people have it"
"The good thing about you is that you see beyond business, you are human above all".
I thanked him, even though I don't know if I deserved all those compliments.
I am in commerce as I am in everyday life, no more, no less...
And if he reads this, I say thank you again for this conversation and these compliments that go straight to my heart.
Good day and good game ;)

In 2 words game
Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Sultan of Karaya!
Sultans of Karaya will sound familiar to Werewolf/Mafia fans as the players each have a secret role and (most of them) belong to one of two teams, with each team having a specific way of winning the game .
The two teams are:
• Sultan and Guards (Loyalists) – to win, they must eliminate all Assassins and have no more than two Slaves still in play, or the Sultan must survive for one turn after being revealed.
• Assassins and Slaves (Rebels) – to win they must kill the Sultan or have three Slaves sitting next to them with their identities revealed, in which case a Slave Revolution brings down the Sultan.
The number of Role cards in play is equal to one more than the number of players, with exactly one Sultan, as many Guards as Assassins (including at least one in play), and at least three Slaves in the mix.
Zero to four neutral characters will also be in play, each unique and each with the ability to win with one team or the other. The Slave Driver, for example, wins with the Rebels if face down at the end of the round and wins with the Loyalists if face up, while the
Fortune Teller must correctly predict the team winning. At the start of the game, each player is secretly given a role card, with one card placed face down in the middle of the table.
During a turn, a player can peek at another player's role card, swap/hide (if your role is face down, swap cards with another player or reserve; if face-up, make other players hide their eyes, then secretly trade with any other face-down role card), or use a character action: guards can detain other players, forcing them to lose their turn; The slaves try to provoke a revolution; Assassins can eliminate any player at the risk of a guard stepping in and killing them instead.
Neutral characters have more complex actions. The Belly Dancer, for example, overpowers adjacent guards, preventing them from detaining others or warding off an assassination, but only if revealed. (If revealed and using her powers, she works for a Rebel victory; otherwise she can stay hidden and score if the Loyalists win.)
The Vizier can force another player to reveal himself and use his special action. Players on the winning team score one or two points depending on whether they were face up – ie working publicly for the cause – or face down.
At the end of a round, redistribute all Role cards. The player with the most points after five rounds wins the game.

Color Kid is a superhero from DC Comics who has the power to change the color of any object to infinity.
Even if it may seem cool and funny, we must still admit that the usefulness of such powers is very limited and ridiculous during major battles essential for the survival of Man...
