Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the expression "for intérieur".

In the Middle Ages, the word took on the technical meaning of jurisdiction and especially ecclesiastical jurisdiction (powers of the Church, in matters of justice, and their extent.)

A distinction was made between the « for intérieur » (the Church could sanction faults committed through confession and penances), and the « for extérieur » (all matters relating to religion, directly or indirectly, were judged by ecclesiastical courts).

 The distinction gradually changed meaning over the centuries: internal forum being our conscience which judges us, the external forum, institutions, judges and courts.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

 Today we're going to talk about Time Arena!

Through relentless wars for its control, the Time Lords endangered the source of immortality.

To avoid its drying up and their own demise, they created the Arena of Time: a sacred place where they fight, summoning the spirits of warriors from ancient times or from distant galaxies.

 Those who manage to dominate time and destroy the opposing Totem obtain the right to access the source and thus ensure the lineage of the Time Lords.

Time Arena is a showdown game for two players or two teams.

You control four fighters, and your objective is to destroy your opponents' Totem Pole - but time is running out and you only have five minutes ...

When the stopwatch indicates "0", you lose the game!

 In more detail, players take turns performing their team's actions, after which the other player's (or team's) turn begins.

Each player has five minutes, which they can use as they wish throughout the game.

At the start of the game, the first player triggers the arena clock, which counts their time. 

When they decide their turn is over for whatever reason, they skip the game by pressing the arena clock.

 This ends both their countdown and begins the opponent's countdown. 

You will also have to deal with another factor of time since each of the characters forming your team has a specific cooldown. 

When a character is destroyed in the Arena of Time, their hourglass is flipped and the character returns to play after all the sand is used up.

Good day and good game ;)

 

Deadlines, the ideal game for Halloween!

Deadlines, the ideal game for Halloween!

On 14/10/2021

Hello everyone !

This month, for halloween, we are going to explain an additional game to you and that game will be Deadlines!

Deadlines is a game of both atmosphere and general culture, to play with family or friends!

Overall, you will have to classify known characters according to their date of birth, length of life, and date of death.

Concretely, how do you play it?

Already, you have to be between 1 and 10, and be over 12 years old (otherwise it's less interesting).

You will have to place the three cards "date of birth", "length of life", and "date of death" below the three piles that you have previously formed with the remaining 200 cards.

Place a personality card below the first three cards.

From this point on, the players take their turn as follows:

- Choose one of the cards that is on the three piles.

-Choose one of the three columns (date of birth, for example).

Take the card, without turning it over, and put it in the right place in the selected column, before, after, or between the cards already placed. When turning the card over, there are two scenarios.

Either the card is well placed, in which case it stays in the column and increases the difficulty of the game, or it is not well placed.

In this second case, the player who placed it gets it back in hand. It is a mistake.

The game ends when twelve cards have been placed in each of the three columns. Some cards, those written on a black background, allow you to perform two new actions.

If you choose such a card, in addition to correctly placing the personality, you can try to guess the circumstances of his death.

If you get close, you can then either: Discard one of your mistakes or give one of the cards of your choice from one of the draw piles to another player to inflict the penalty.

To discover the brief explanation of Deadlines in video, it's here:

You can even test your knowledge here, with the Deadlines quiz:

Have a good discovery, have a good day and have a good game;)

Which game will succeed Golden Ace 2021: Micro Macro?

Which game will succeed Golden Ace 2021: Micro Macro?

On 14/10/2021

Hello everyone !

The Cannes International Games Festival is fast approaching and we can't wait to be there :)

We can't wait for the 2022 game selection to see who will succeed the 2021 Ace of Gold, Micro Macro!

Who will be the successors of Dragomino for the children category and of The Crew for the expert category?

Until we get there, here is an explanation of what the Golden Ace is and the award-winning categories.

Since 1988, the festival's jury, made up of journalists and professionals, has awarded the Ace of Gold - Game of the Year label, which rewards the best games published during the past year.

The jury awards three different prizes:

-The Golden Ace - Game of the Year rewards a game that is original in its mechanics as well as in its aesthetics. It is attributed to a family game, accessible to the greatest number;

- The Golden Ace - Game of the Year "Child" highlights a game that appeals to younger people but also appeals to their parents;

-The Ace of Gold - "Expert" Game of the Year rewards a more complex game aimed at an "expert" audience who appreciates thinking and isn't afraid to read a few pages of the rules.

Among the approximately 1,000 games published each year, the festival jury selects nine games, three in each category, striving to ensure that its selection is accessible to all ages and all tastes.

Quality, creativity, diversity, flawless mechanics and rules are the most important criteria, as well as the pleasure of playing and the desire to play again.

Here you know everything;) Have a good day and have a good game;)

Hello everyone !

 Our classic pastries are much older than you think!

A custard, do you like it? or an apple pie?

These are modern pastries, aren't they? Well no !

 First, in the Middle Ages the separation between sweet and savory in the order of dishes did not exist!

This practice is more recent and dates from the 17th century!

In medieval times, a "dessert" corresponded to the third or fourth course, but could be sweet or savory.

But the sweet taste developed in the Middle Ages from the 15th century thanks to the cultivation of sugar cane.

 This is how our current desserts find their origins.

Yes, the flan, the pie, the waffles that we called "the forgotten ones" and many other desserts were already delighting the taste buds of good ladies and beautiful young ladies!

 And, the use of spices in baking as in medieval cooking was very common. 

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we’re going to talk about the phrase "That’s another pair of sleeves."

This is another matter.

In the Middle Ages, the sleeves of clothes were not sewn together, but simply adjusted at the last moment.

The ladies could, as a sign of attachment, hand their sleeve to their knight, who would wear it on his lance or shield during tournaments.

This amorous pledge has become a symbol of commitment to the point where we have forgotten its aristocratic and gallant origin.

"It's a dark age for the arts and sciences" 

The caliper, the spinning wheel, the compass, the powder, the paper and even the glasses ... 

The list of technical innovations that the Middle Ages brought us is long. 

The watermill, already known in Antiquity, generalized and improved during this period, to such an extent that it became a characteristic element of the territories, and the miller, an emblematic character.

Exchanges between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean arc never stop and intensify, both on land and at sea, which facilitates the dissemination of knowledge and techniques.

Symbols of the intensity of exchanges, the Champagne fairs are places where the whole world comes together.

Globalization before the era of the "great discoveries".

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the expression "moonlighting".

In the Middle Ages, trade associations regulated work by requiring it to be done only in daylight.

However, some masters, to increase the output of their workers, made them work by candlelight, once night had fallen, which was prohibited by the rules.

 Hence the expression "moonlighting" to mean working illegally.

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Companions!

The Black Death claimed many lives and survivors from all walks of life are now looking to the future and coming together to build new communities.

Each player is responsible for populating a new village with the aim of becoming the most prosperous.

The game revolves around a central path of cards.

During the recruitment phase, the players take in hand a number of village cards which depends on the amount of food produced by their village. 

This step is followed by a placement phase in which cards can be played in their village, depending on the number of builders living there. 

The cards are played by respecting a production chain, starting with the cards producing basic resources, which can take over chains of workers linked to these resources.

 Some villagers produce tools and materials that others need, using an interactive mechanism, to take advantage of what other players are building.

This strategy game features a single player mode where an isolated village struggles to thrive despite the dreaded Countess and her evil machinations.

"The nobles lived in seclusion in their fortified castle"

Can you imagine a nobleman without his castle? Well yes. 

The generalization of stone castles is also dated to the 12th century, more than 700 years after the beginning of the Middle Ages.

The nobles lived in "houses", built flat and not in height. Dungeons, for example, don't appear until the 12th century.

The concept of "nobility" is moreover questioned by historians who prefer the term "aristocracy" to designate the social group of the dominant.

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about the phrase "spit in the soup".

We thus learn that blacksmiths used to leave a well-heated horseshoe in front of their shop, in order to laugh at the grimaces of the naive who tried to steal it.

The story's villain's son, Robin, who is in town with his father, doesn't let him fall into the trap, and spits on the horseshoe to check if it's cold. The saliva is immediately brought to a boil.

Back home, the villain is about to eat a good morterual, a kind of bread soup his wife has made.

He spits in the soup to see if it's too hot, but nothing happens.

He immediately puts a huge spoonful in the oven, and is scalded to the guts.

Hence the phrase "spit in the soup", which indicates overdone and, as here, unnecessary caution.

"The barbarians invaded Europe"

"Barbarian" peoples, in the sense that they were not Roman, did invest Western Europe in the 5th century.

 Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, and other Alans gradually settled in, but not in the brutal ways often described.

We should rather speak of "great migrations" than of "invasions".

These took place gradually from the second and third centuries:

"These are not sudden, massive landings, but long migratory movements of diverse groups." 

With episodes of violence and looting, of course, but often with the agreement of the Romans, who found it increasingly difficult to hold their borders.

 "So it's almost a chosen immigration!"

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about the expression "Promise mountains and wonders".

 In the Middle Ages, it was said of someone who promised mountains and wonders, that he promised mountains and valleys (that is, valleys).

In the course of time, by a taste for repetition, typical of Old French, the image was forgotten and wonders took the place of valleys, thus reinforcing the meaning of the word mont, instead of completing it as previously.

The old French loved these pairs of words, similar sounds and meanings.

Curiously, many have come down to us: indeed, safe and sound, without faith or law, without fire or place, all fire all flame ...

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about Guilds!

You are looking to be elected at the head of Portyl, a medieval city made up of various more or less powerful guilds who will have to convert to your cause in order to recover their votes.

The election takes place in three rounds, with a count of the votes in each round.

 At the end of the third round, the player with the most votes will be named the head of the city and will win the game.

The guilds that will have to be courted are 10 in number and are more or less powerful. 

The more powerful they are, the more votes they bring, but the more they can be wooed.

To find out how powerful a guild is, just look at the top of a guild card. - The first number indicates the number of cards available for this guild, and therefore, so to speak, the "power" of the guild.

 But this number also indicates the number of votes distributed during the first ballot. - The two values ​​in the middle indicate the number of votes that will be distributed during the 2nd ballot. –

And finally the values ​​to the right of the card give the number of votes that will be distributed during the last ballot.

 Exception to all this, the "Militia", which gives its owner 3 votes per card on each ballot. There are 15 "Militia" cards in the game.

Each ballot takes place in the same way in 5 phases:

• 1. Distribution of guild cards

• 2. Revelation of an event card

• 3. Selection of guild cards

• 4. Laying of guild cards

• 5. Votes count

Hello everyone !

You may have already had heard that the Middle Ages was an age without cities.

Recent archaeological findings show the opposite.

 Even if the majority of the inhabitants live in rural areas, the urban poles are maintained between the 4th and the 11th centuries.

There are many agglomerations during the first Middle Ages.

These are characterized "by a denser population and with more varied functions than in agricultural land.

 Notably, there were no streets yet.

The habitat, often built of wood and mud, was regularly rearranged as needed.

In our Play with thought of the day we are going to talk about the phrase "lining up onions".

The expression actually comes from a great master of ceremonies at the court of Henry II of Valois, Artus de la Fontaine Solaro, baron of Onion and Lord of Vaumoise, who assigned their places to the lords.

 He used to cry out: "Close your ranks, Gentlemen, close your ranks" ... and the lords mock the ranks of Onion.

Hello everyone !

 Today we're going to talk about the Knights of the Round Table!

The principle of the game is that you can win in two ways: either you kill the opponent with your strength (F), or you manipulate him with your charm (C). 

For the Celts, the warriors are the Knights of the Round Table and those who manipulate are magicians (Merlin, Viviane). 

Before starting to play each player draws 3 heroes and shuffles their other cards.

  Then, the game is divided into two phases: 

1. Laying phase: you can pose a hero, grant an object (sword, shield, magic staff) and an animal (horses, but also lion, dogs). 

2. Attack phase: Each player must have one of his characters attack. 

During the fight: The defender has two solutions: fight or try to charm his opponent.

Characters who are not very powerful at the warrior level can use their charm rating to refuse combat (C> M) or outright turn their opponents (C> 2xM).

So you have to be careful before attacking the famous Merlin the Enchanter, the mighty Morgana or the beautiful Guinevere.

Especially since magic (destiny cards) helps them, in addition to their charm, to achieve their goal.

If you are bewitched you have to kill your own heroes ... it's very funny when you are charmed but much less when your Lancelot has to kill your Gauvain!

Hello everyone !

The tradition of toasting dates back to the Middle Ages.

Indeed, in times of feudal wars, we toasted to make sure we poured liquid from our drink into another's glass.

We were therefore sure that if the person tried to poison us, he would be too.

All the more so if the person in front of you didn't drink after drinking a toast, neither did you.

The same goes for the handshake ...

Back then we grabbed the other person's forearm to make sure they weren't hiding a dagger with which they could kill us.

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

From majestic maples to ancestral oaks, players tend their trees with the goal of thriving over the course of a year in a beautiful national park.

In the spring, players carefully grow their trees, scoring points while hikers enjoy hiking the trails in the summer.

When fall arrives, the leaves fall in the ever-changing direction of the wind, guided to cover the pitch and leaves of other players.

Points are awarded in the winter for the greatest coverage of each region of the park.

Gain ground in the park to achieve victory in Bosk!

Bosk is played over 4 seasons, 2 game seasons, 2 scoring seasons - each unique!

Spring The players grow each of their 8 trees (numbered 1 to 4) at the intersections of the grid lines on the park board.

Summer Hikers visit, walk the trails.

Players score points for having the highest total value (or second place) of trees in each row and column.

2 points for the 1st, 1 for the second.

Autumn

The wind begins to blow and the leaves are falling.

Each player takes turns blowing the leaves of one of their trees.

The wind board determines which tree (1 tree on the first turn) and in which direction the wind is blowing.

Players choose a tile from their hand of tiles (2 to 8 and a squirrel) to determine the number of leaves to blow off their tree.

The leaves are placed in a winding path in the direction of the wind, covering the different squares of land.

Players can cover other players' leaves by returning 1 leaf to the supply for each leaf to be covered.

The squirrel can jump up to 3 squares in the direction of the wind, cover any size pile and cannot be covered.

Winter The players score again, this time to have the majority (or second place) depending on the coverage of each of the 8 regions of the table - 5 points for the 1st, 3 points for the 2nd.

The player with the highest score is the winner!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Indians weren't always beaten by cavalry

It is a classic of westerns: the attack of hundreds of Indians against United States soldiers.

A somewhat epic take on history, as the Amerindians, less armed and often fewer in number, preferred guerrilla warfare to pitched battles.

Thus, the Sioux lakotas multiplied the skirmishes against the Whites when the cohabitation treaties were not respected.

Overwhelmed by the scale of the attacks, Northerner General Sheridan had to leave their territory in 1868.

But intrusions into the sacred Lakota Mountains resumed in 1874 following the discovery of gold.

The authorities attempted to buy these lands from the Indians, who refused.

On June 25, 1876, Custer's 7th Cavalry Regiment faced the Lakota, allied with the Cheyennes, at the Battle of Little Bighorn; Custer and 263 soldiers perished there.

This Indian victory remains a pride for the community and has inspired many books and films, including The Fantastic Charge (1941).

Hello everyone !

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

Every three months we make different themes for our storefronts with games to match.

Maybe it's scraps of animation :), the point is, I find the idea of doing one theme per season allows you to reinvent yourself and evolve the range of games in the store.

That's good, because in the world of board games, we can play with almost any theme thanks to our talented authors and illustrators :)

 Thank you to them for allowing us to travel, to play different characters depending on the game and to discover new game mechanics at the same time :)

 Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Indians Weren't So "Wild"

Between 500,000 and 600,000 Indians lived beyond the Mississippi when white settlers arrived in the early 19th century.

About 100 tribes could be counted, speaking 375 different languages ​​and practicing agriculture, hunting and fishing.

In the valleys of Missouri and Arkansas, they occupied mud houses in villages. The Pawnees cultivated corn. The Sioux, the Cheyennes and the Comanches hunted bison.

The whites made them sign treaties to settle in their homes, but did not respect their terms, which sparked Indian revolts.

Merciless warriors - they scalped their victims - Indians often displayed courage and self-sacrifice. Between 1866 and 1891, they lost nearly 4,000 combatants, while 932 American soldiers were killed and over a thousand wounded.

Unlike bandits and marshalls at times, Indians rarely attacked stagecoaches or convoys.

Hello everyone !

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

Why board games, have I been asked?

Because I have been an avid gamer from a young age of board and video games. :)

 Because there was not what I was looking for to buy my games on Vaison. :)

 Because for young and old alike, board games allow you to share moments together around the same rules :)

 And yes board games aren't just for kids. There are so many great games now that allow you to share a moment of complicity and friendliness between adults too, so why deprive yourself of it ;)

Her towel around the neck changes color depending on what she wants to eat!

Step 2: It's up to you to force-feed the turkey with an ingredient card of the right color.

Observation and speed will be your best allies!

Step 3: But beware!

If 2 or more players lay their cards at the same time, it is the first to catch the turkey who has the right to feed it!

Hello everyone !

Not all Indians wore feathers

Only the Sioux - who included the Lakotas, Nakotas and Dakotas - did wear large feathered headdresses.

But they reserved these adornments for their great feasts and their ceremonies.

The rest of the time, these skilled horsemen were much less prepared.

They wore hunter's outfits, much more convenient for staying in the saddle for a long time and shooting.

Bison were the main source of livelihood for these nomadic Indians, so much so that the US military carried out mass killings of entire herds in order to starve them.

Another cliché: most of the Indians were sedentary, the Sioux being the exception; they slept in the summer in tents, the famous tipis, and spent the winter in huts and cabins.

Hello everyone!

Today we are going to talk about Apache!

Each player controls a small Indian tribe, made up of hunters, maidens, warriors and chiefs.

The Indians want to claim as much loot as possible.

So the hunter, for example, watches over the buffaloes, while the young girl collects necklaces, etc.

Players take turns revealing one of the meadow cards in the middle of the table, and players can play a hand card that can claim the loot by placing it as quickly as possible on the pow-wow table.

If no one chooses to play a card in hand, players continue to reveal the grassland cards in turn until someone chooses to play a card in hand, interrupting the revealing of the grassland cards.

If the player plays a correct card, he can claim loot. If a player plays a card that he could not claim any loot with, then he must give up. the first two cards of his victory pile.

Once the last meadow card has been revealed, all players have one last chance to try and claim the loot.

Then the game is over.

Each player counts the cards from their victory pile.

The player with the most cards wins.
