Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“We should try to be happy, if only to set an example.”
When I see all the surprises that life has in store for us, I tell myself that we are never short of ideas for learning from our failures and our successes.
But if we hadn't had these experiences, we probably wouldn't have the knowledge we have acquired and we would make the same mistakes again and again.
I complained a lot when I had to encode sequences of code that I had never created before... My head was like a watermelon looking for a solution to make this line of code effective on the site.
And then, I left it aside for a bit and came back to it later with a clear head and then it clicked!
I had been so focused on the same approach to this line of code for several days that I didn't see that I could approach it another way.
By using another approach, I was able to open myself up to new solutions and find an alternative that I couldn't find by not breaking my habits.
The first times you try something new, you won't necessarily succeed, but you will have learned how to succeed the next time.
No matter how many times we don't succeed, the main thing is to use the experience that it gave us and then one day we end up getting there!
If we give up, we have already lost, whereas if we try, we have a chance of winning.
Following my head trauma a decade ago, I had amnesia on my immediate memory. I decided to work twice as hard to make up for his oversights.
And now, ten years later, I am very happy not to have given up because my immediate memory is gradually returning.
I still have small forgetfulness, but they are becoming rarer and rarer... I am proud to have held on and remained determined, because today my immediate memory is almost back to normal.
In addition, reading, learning new things and playing board games stimulates it even more, so I haven't finished sharing gaming moments with you. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Steam Park!
Let's go for the funfair, from 2 to 4 players, from 10 years old for 60 minutes, for the most attractive rides!
In the joyful town of Robobourg, a funfair takes place every year so incredible that the entire population expects only one thing: for the year to pass as quickly as possible so that these 6 wonderful days can begin again.
A game of Steam Park takes place over 6 rounds of play. Each round is divided into 4 Phases: Dice Rolling Phase, Dirt Phase, Action Phase and Income Phase.
You earn money for each Visitor present in your Park at the end of each round and for the Bonus cards you play.
Each player takes their 6 dice in hand and rolls them at the same time to each discover their results.
With each roll, you can choose to keep dice to reroll until the result does not suit you or to place them on the pig board.
When you decide to reroll, you must reroll all the dice that are not on your piggy bank.
When all players have placed all their dice on their pig board and collected a turn order tile, you can move on to the dirt phase.
For each dirt symbol present on the dice of your pig board, take 1 dirt marker from the reserve and place it near your park. This will be your trash can. Then another for each visitor present in your park.
In turn order, each player spends all the dice on their pig board to perform actions. The actions you can perform are determined by the result of your dice.
The symbols on the dice are resources that allow you to perform one or more actions. To perform an action, remove the corresponding dice from your pig board, and set them aside.
6 actions are possible: build attractions, build stands, attract visitors, clean up dirt, play bonus cards and expand your park.
Each action can only be performed once per game turn and in the order you want.
But building a sumptuous park is not enough, you also need to attract as many people as possible! This action is the most important: to win, you will have to fill up with visitors.
For each visitor drawn, see if there is an attraction in your park of the same color as him and with an unoccupied visitor space.
If so, the visitor has found the attraction they dreamed of.
If the visitor does not find the attraction that suits them, they consider your park boring and leave it without spending a single Danari.
For each visitor to your park, receive 3 Danari.
At the end of the 6th round of play, the game ends. Each player then counts the number of dirt markers in their
trash bin and determines the cost of final cleaning of its park by referring to the dirt tray.
If you have 30 dirt markers (or more), you lose all your money and also the game... that's the meaning of the little red skull at the bottom of the dirt board.
Each player then announces the amount of money they have. The richest player is declared the winner!

Hello everyone !
The word “author” has existed since Antiquity.
Coming from the words “auctor” and “augere” (to make grow), the word “auctor” literally meant “founder”.
“Auctrix” was then its feminine, which makes the word “autrice” an older and more legitimate term than its counterpart “auteure”.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Happiness is not having everything you want, but appreciating what you have.”
You must have noticed that I am very happy every day to be able to share my passion for board games with you!
We don't always have what we want in life, but what we already have is a treasure that we can share...
I would have liked to be able to stretch myself to be able to respond to all the requests for outdoor entertainment time that I received.
In the impossibility of a split, I decided to enjoy every moment of games with you without limits except that of my Sunday rest. ;)
And then if we didn't have everything we wanted, I'm not sure we would savor these little everyday moments with as much fervor.
I like to surprise you by offering you original game choices and let myself be surprised by these unique gaming moments that they gave us the benefit of!
I like to focus on choosing games according to each of your current game desires and adapt and readjust my fun proposals endlessly.
The most important thing for me is that games allow us to have fun, friendly moments together. And if they also get closer at the same time, it’s the icing on the cake!
Seeing players come together in addition to game activities to share a passion and create friendships thanks to it, it's just magical in my eyes.
Often the master of the game during games, I like to see connections created and to see the complicity develop between my players.
I love these moments when you try to cheat before my eyes, believing that I won't see anything. ;)
I also love these moments when I share duets or team games with you, because it is so important for me to interact with you about games.
My daily joys are the store, the activities, our conversations and all your smiles and bursts of laughter! THANKS !

Colonization of the Moon has ceased to be a limited concept
to science fiction. Players embody different groups of settlers (engineers, scientists, ex-farmers, miners, etc.).
They will have to manage all available opportunities by building essential facilities on the most suitable land in their attempt to become the capital of the moon.
Over 12 rounds, players will have access to delivery bundles consisting of blueprints, for various structures (building cards) and one or more project options, such as resource silos, lunar greenhouses and residential modules, among others (Project tiles), which they will then place in their own play area, called “Colony”.
During the game, each player will create their own colony by building rows of Construction cards in front of them.
Each construction map shows a certain number of construction sites. By placing Project tiles on their Construction Sites, players will improve their colony and earn victory points.
To play 1 Construction card, the player must select 1 of the Construction cards from their hand and place it face up in their colony.
The placement of the card must respect these 4 conditions:
1/ It cannot be placed on another card or rotated in any way. The number on the card should be visible in the upper left corner.
2/ From the second card, each card must be placed next to and at right angles to at least one of the Construction cards placed during a previous round. At least two corners of the new card must touch two other corners of an existing card.
3/ There can be a maximum of 3 rows of cards in each player's colony. The length of each line has no limit and can be of different length.
4/ The Construction cards are numbered from 1 to 10. In each row, the numbers on the cards must increase from left to right and no number can be repeated in the row.
If the player has no card that meets this condition in his hand, he must place the new card face down (while meeting conditions 1, 2, and 3).
Since the number will not be visible, it will not be taken into account. Also, the player will not be able to place Project tiles on this card.
After placing his card, the player must place all the Project tiles he has taken this turn. Project tiles can be played on top of any of the empty construction sites in their colony.
The player is not required to place them on the map that was just added to their colony. Each tile must be placed on a Construction Site that is completely empty, without any Project tiles or buildings of any type.
At the end of each Phase, before players begin the next turn, each player checks to see if they have fulfilled the requirements for any of the exposed concessions that are still available.
Each player who has fulfilled the conditions for one or more Concession locations places an identification token on top.
At the end of the twelfth round, the score is calculated and the Lunar Colonization Authority will choose the one who did the best job as the satellite capital preferred by nine out of ten inhabitants of Earth.

The novel “Robinson Crusoe” written by Daniel Defoe is inspired by a true story.
In 1704, following a disagreement with his captain, a Scottish sailor, Alexander Selkirk, was exiled to an island off the coast of Chile where he lived alone for four years.
On his return he had his story written, which inspired the famous book.
In 1966, the island was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in homage.

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“In life we don’t do what we want, but we are responsible for what we are.”
Life is not always easy, for example with the successive crises we are going through, some companies have unfortunately had to cease their activities.
It's never easy, but we can think about stopping because it becomes too difficult, but we can also take the difficulties head on and choose to make new ways of working.
Putting down another person to draw attention to yourself, for example, is not for me. I am far from being a role model, but I strive every day not to let my past affect the people around me.
We all face difficulties, but that's no reason to take our hurts as an excuse to treat people poorly.
I remember this day when my colleague came to the store and someone from the world of board games was there. I wanted to stop her from speaking so that she wouldn't make a fool of herself in front of him, but she won't know that until today...
It is not because I suffer the abuses of his friends that, as I already told her, I would suddenly act in a negative way.
Just because I didn't get everything I wanted in life, or that people put obstacles in my way doesn't mean I'm going to reciprocate.
Fortunately for me, my humanity has always been stronger than anything I have gone through in my life.
I will always try to stay positive no matter what happens. Those who are around me know that I grumble a little sometimes, but that I am more of the type to see the glass half full.
Those who really know me know that, fortunately or unfortunately, I far too often give the benefit of the doubt to people who do not even deserve to have even the shadow of a doubt.
We are not responsible for what we experience, but we are responsible for what we are...

2 words game Sagaland Harry Potter
Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Sagaland Harry Potter!
Hogwarts Wizards enter the Forbidden Forest, for 2 to 4 players, from 6 years old in 25 minutes, to find the magical animals!
Some magical animals have hidden in the Forbidden Forest. Do you sense their magical auras and will you venture into the Forbidden Forest to save them?
Go in search of magical animals in the heart of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts Castle to help Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Hagrid and Voldemort.
We each draw an animal card which we place next to ourselves, then we roll the two dice.
From Hagrid's house, we advance on the plateau to observe under the fir trees if an animal corresponds to the magical animal we are looking for.
You can choose to move forward together with the dice or move forward and backward with each die separately.
To declare that we have found our magical animal, we must go to Hagrid's house on the key and then announce the animal found and the tree under which it is located.
If you cannot find the tree corresponding to the hidden magical animal, then you must return to the village without discovering a tree on the way and start from scratch at Hagrid's house.
If we find the corresponding animal under the tree we win the magic animal card and we then turn it face down.
You can then draw another animal card which you will place next to you and which you will have to find.
If there are no more animal cards to find, you can try to find the animals placed next to the other players.
The player who arrives on the magic square can leave there on their next turn. If a player rolls a double on the dice, he can either swap two trees, move to a tree card of his choice and look at it, or shuffle the pile of cards and then turn one over.
The player who has the most magic animal cards wins the game.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Remembrance is the perfume of the soul”
The memory that those we appreciate more than anything remains in us like a unique perfume even if they are no longer there.
A perfume is also ephemeral, but as soon as you think of someone you loved, it’s as if you could still smell that perfume.
Memory is that moment outside of time that we have left that we can no longer relive except in our memory and our feelings.
Just as these smells that we smell remind us of a moment that we have experienced and make us nostalgic, memory is, as George d’Ormesson said, “the presence of the absent in the memory of the living”.
These moments that we share together around board games are all unique and unforgettable for me. They give color to my daily playful path…
I really liked it when the children at the Buis les Baronnies games festival with the Mistigri toy library discovered the games and came to ask me cute children's questions.
I particularly enjoyed playing the game with the children and teenagers at the Mac Donald in Saint Romain en Viennois.
My fun journey is enriched every day when we play together during game activities, during family workshops, during our discussions around games or daily life in Vaison...
I enjoyed creating memories by being a facilitator in Angers, Camaret and creating more with you, by bringing my smile and my dynamism.
You perfume my soul every moment we share the passion for board games together.
Sometimes bad but mostly good, I am only rich in these moments with you, so once again thank you to all of you. ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Gnomopolis!
Hunted by humans, it's up to you brave gnomes to explore the surroundings, from 1 to 4 players, from 14 years old in 45 minutes, to find a new place for your city of Gnomopolis!
In Gnomopolis, each player seeks a thriving future for their districts, constructing buildings, collecting coins, and creating jobs for their gnomes.
Each building provides actions for gnomes and requires professions. Match gnomes to building requests and collect coins to earn victory points.
In Gnomopolis, players take turns playing, clockwise, starting from the player who started, until one of three victory conditions is met.
The game continues until all players have played the same number of rounds. Players count victory points. The player with the most victory points is declared the winner.
On each player's turn, he can take actions with all his active gnomes (in the zone) until he wants to pass. At the end of the turn, he places all his gnomes in the zone of exhausted gnomes (zone) and draws a new labor force of 3 gnomes for his next turn.
Then the next player begins their turn. Each player can do one of the following actions on their turn:
1) Move a group of gnomes from its zone of active gnomes to an empty scroll on a Building Card, a District Board or an Advisors Card to complete the action completely and immediately (you can do as many actions as you like). want to, but one must be completely concluded before the other begins).
2) Place a group of gnomes on a Building Card in the building pool to build it in your district (only once per turn).
3) Pass (to end your turn).
The end of the game occurs either if a player has built his sixth building, the old capital no longer has gnomes or the old capital no longer has coins.
To calculate the final score, each player distributes all of their gnomes to each building they have built and on their District Board.
The colors required by the buildings must be respected (at the bottom of the cards) and each gnome can count points in a single building.
The final score of each player is defined by the sum of:
+1 Victory Point for each coin;
+2 Victory Points for each gnome who satisfies the request of each Building Card in his district;
+1 Victory Points for each gnome who meets the request of the District Board; +2 Victory Points for each Advisor Card;
-1 Victory Point for each gnome that is not requested by a Building Card or District Board.
The player with the greatest amount of Victory Points declares himself the winner.
Gnomes are agile beings and organize themselves into different groups based on the color of their hats. There are six colors of gnome tokens in the game: children are green, villagers are brown, soldiers are red, merchants are yellow, artisans are blue, and inventors are gray. The white gnome pawn represents anything: it could be a child, a villager, or a specialist gnome.
Through their actions, children become villagers and villagers specialize in four professions: soldiers, merchants, artisans and inventors!
Whoever has the most victory points at the end of the game will be the winner!
You can play single-player games of Gnomopolis with the basic rules for two players. In this case, you will try to maximize your score before triggering the final victory conditions.

“There are no people worse deaf than those who do not want to hear. »
When you try to make your point of view understood by people who continue to talk when you want to have a conversation with them, but in vain, there is no point in persisting...
A conversation goes both ways or else it's nothing more than a monologue. Actions often speak louder than words with this kind of person...
When we try to calmly make a person understand that their behavior hurts us and they continue to do it, then there is no longer any point in talking to them about it.
Those people who are deaf to healthy adult conversations will never want to hear what you have to say to them anyway.
And finally, if you have done nothing to such people and they seek to harm you, they are indeed the most unfortunate.
For what ? Because they will have lost people who would have been there for them and the only thing they are doing to you by attacking you is to attract attention through gossip because when they talk about their lives no one listens to them...
I have often had to explain to adults that their behavior was inappropriate towards other people or myself. But now I would no longer waste my time or energy on people who have decided to turn a deaf ear to basic respect.
People who do not have basic respect will face my utter indifference. If adults are incapable of behaving like adults, it's not my problem, it's theirs.
I don't intentionally harm anyone, so people who want to harm me, that's okay, I don't care. I would never respond to your immaturity.
I have a clear conscience and I sleep soundly at night, because I don't have any weird plans to make behind your back. I am at the store as I am every day, frank and direct, trying to be polite so as not to hurt others.
I know that some people won't like it, but when I see who doesn't like it, it doesn't bother me... We can't please everyone anyway and fortunately, because that would mean pleasing no one...
Don't waste your time on people who are deaf to your existence, they are not worth it. I believe in you and I know you can be beautifully you. ;)

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin, proudly wear the colors of your House and live up to its reputation.
In each of the 8 rounds, prepare a Spell and point your wand at one of your opponents.
Then, all at the same time, cast your Spell… or protect yourself! Because if you are stunned, you risk losing points to your House.
Only the wisest wizards will be able to share the Rewards of the round and thus earn points for their House.
A game takes place over 8 rounds, each divided into 7 phases. The Chouchou announces and directs the phases of play, one after the other. The back of the Chouchou tile presents a game aid recalling these different phases.
Draw 8 Reward cards and place them, face up, in the center of the table, next to the Become the Pet card. The latter constitutes the 9th Reward, available in each round.
All at the same time, secretly choose a Stupefy or Failed Spell card from your Spell cards and place it face down in front of you.
When everyone has prepared their Spell card, the Chouchou announces “Witches, Wizards... take your wands!” ”, then count to three.
In threes, all at the same time, point your wand at one of your opponents. If you don't point to anyone at "three", it's too late.
You will therefore not target anyone during this round.
Important: For safety reasons, always aim at your opponent's chest and never at their face.
Pay close attention to the wands pointed at you and your opponents. After a few seconds of observation, the Chouchou counts to three again.
Three people, all at the same time, cast the Spell you prepared in phase 2 or the Protego Spell.
• Stupefy: Shout “Stupefy!” » and keep your wand pointed at your opponent.
• Failed Spell: Say nothing and lower your wand.
• Protego: You can always choose to protect yourself by casting a Protego Spell in place of any prepared card.
Hold your wand in front of your face and shout “Protego!” ". So you no longer target anyone.
If you have cast a Protego Spell: you are protected. Lay down your Flag and ignore all Spells that target you. Then discard your Spell card face down.
Otherwise, if you are targeted by one or more Stupefy Spells:
you are stunned. Lay down your Flag and take 1 Delay token per Stupefy Spell that targets you. Then discard your Spell card, face up.
Only players whose Flag is still standing can participate in the Sharing of Rewards.
If your Flag is still standing, starting with the Pet then clockwise, take a Reward of your choice from the revealed cards. Continue taking Rewards, in turn order, until there are no more in the center of the table.
When all 9 Rewards have been taken, the round ends.
• Keep the Successful Potion and Favor cards face down in front of you.
• Discard the Private Lessons and Time Turner cards.
• Return the Become the Chouchou card to the center of the table.
• Announce out loud the total value of the Points cards that your House
won during this Share. Then place them in the Urn in your House.
Important: Only Point cards are pooled in your House Urn. All other Reward cards are individual.
Straighten all the Flags, and then return to phase 1 Reveal the Rewards to start a new round.
The game ends after 8 rounds, when all the Prize cards have been taken.
The House with the highest score wins the game.
In the event of a tie, the Houses concerned share the victory.

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Memory is the invisible presence.”
The presence of the moments we have experienced and the people we have known remains through the memories we have of them.
We don't see them anymore, but we can still enjoy them when we think about them and remember how we felt in those moments or with those people.
I always think of Andrée, 96 years old, with whom we played board games with friends when we were teenagers. As soon as I think of her, I remember her somewhat authoritarian side as a former teacher, but above all her gentleness of character and her desire to transmit.
I think of when I played during the first events at the store with Yanis, Marie, Asma, Thomas, Mathieu, etc.… and of the fits of laughter triggered by games of board games. As soon as I think about it, I remember them bickering nicely over who was going to score the last point.
I think of Serge who came to play games from a “new era” and which he ended up enjoying over time, before unfortunately leaving us a few months later. As soon as I think of Serge and those who left us on the way, these memories are all the more precious to me...
I think of this century-old neighbor who enjoyed talking about literature and also ate a lot of candy. As soon as I think of him, I remember our kind and open debates around literature and life in general and the advice I was able to draw from them.
I also think of this kind shopkeeper from a large Vaisonnaise family who told me to brace myself and ignore and reassured me and encouraged me with great sincerity and kindness. As soon as I think of her, I tell myself that when we work to get what we want and give ourselves the means to move forward in the direction of our projects, we can only end up getting there.
I think of my animation game players who allow me to share with them unique moments suspended in time. From the first game animation to the animations that I continue to animate on a daily basis, every moment shared with you is engraved in my memory. ;)
I also think of my Sereno players whom I am always very happy to meet at each game animation, because the diversity of their character makes the session always very lively and very interesting. :) As soon as I think of my Sereno players, I feel driven to offer original and varied games.
I think above all of my grandfather with whom I played battle from the age of 3 and chess from the age of 5 and who taught me that failure is only temporary and is a springboard to success. Whenever I think of my grandfather, I remember his determination and his caring and reassuring presence that led me to where I am today in my life.
I am rich from all these moments and these meetings, so thank you!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about pirate history!
Hear sailors, don't be afraid, 2 to 4 players, from 10 years old in 30 minutes, to solve the most dangerous adventures!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
Put on your captain's hat and navigate the 3D pirate ship using hourglasses in this unique real-time cooperative game.
As a member of an adventurous pirate crew, your goal is to be crowned Admiral of the Black, the most feared pirate ship in the Caribbean.
To earn this title, you must complete dangerous scenarios in the shortest time possible. The most innovative element of the game is that the player uses their own 30-second hourglass as a character to place on the ship to perform actions.
Each time a player places their own hourglass, they must wait until the sand runs out before they can perform the necessary action.
Each hole on the ship represents an area where you can perform a specific action: turn the ship, load cannons, shoot enemy ships, repair damage, etc.
A Tales of pirates features ten different scenarios, ranging from ordinary hacking activities like watching and shooting, to kraken hunting, prison escapes, treasure hunts and much more.
A smartphone and/or tablet app will guide players through missions, assisting with scenario data, random events, multi-pathing, upgrades, and saving game state for later sessions .
It also serves as a timer for the individual round, as the typical scenario lasts 2-3 rounds, each lasting five minutes.
Players must react to events and maneuver the ship to combat enemy gunboats, catch rich merchant ships, and avoid other obstacles. They need to communicate to agree and organize things to do, but they need to be quick because time is always running out.
A tales of pirates is a fast-paced game with simple rules, but it's exciting and involving, with great player interactions.
Unlike some other real-time cooperative games, stress is present but not dominant. The thirty-second delays, in addition to the intermittent spins, always allow you to catch your breath!

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.”
I have always dreamed of evolving in a field that brings people together since I was little. I was often the one who tried to resolve conflicts to patch up friends who were arguing.
Because it would be a shame to lose people you care about over trivial things. There are times when unfortunately nothing can be fixed...
I have always believed and still believe now that we all have something to learn from each other and that our differences do not separate us, but teach us and bring us together.
I like to hope that on my modest scale as an independent store I will be able to bring together people who might not have dared to talk to each other without the game activities.
I have seen players get to know each other and become friends thanks to game animations and that delights me to the highest degree.
Every day I hear players tell me that they meet up for game evenings with other players they have met during game events or in stores.
I hope to see other initiatives continue to appear in Vaison and its surroundings (or even elsewhere) so that the world of gaming is no longer seen as elitist, but continues to open up to amateurs or initiates from all walks of life. .
I will pursue my goal of bringing people together through board games, because I like to share this passion with you. ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Story Cubes Harry Potter!
Little or big wizards, from 1 player, from 6 years old in 10 minutes, to create beautiful stories at Hogwarts!
In Story Cubes Harry Potter, roll the 9 dice to create ever more magical stories!
Whether you create a story alone or with others, let yourself be carried away by the dice combos to create stories, each one more magical than the last.
You can choose to either take turns being a storyteller by taking the 9 dice and telling your story to the other players, then decide which storyteller wins the round.
But you can also choose to each take a part of the dice and tell the story together with one player creating the beginning, another the middle, then the end.
Push the limits of your imagination by creating numerous stories about your Harry Potter objects and characters.
Board the Hogwarts Express and tell the story of your adventures in the heart of the Forbidden Forest, the castle or even the grounds of Qwidicth...
Fans of the famous wizard with round glasses will be able to create and invent endless stories based on the theme of their favorite saga!
Roll the dice and create stories full of twists and turns by including symbols from the enchanted and wonderful world of Hogwarts.
Your story can be serious or completely crazy, short or full of magical adventures...
There are as many story creation possibilities as there are possible dice combinations to share the magic of Hogwarts even longer...
There’s magic in the air, so here’s to your stories!
You can also add your dice from other story cubes that you may already have to create ever more varied and longer or shorter stories!
It’s up to you to create stories, each more original than the last…

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. »
When I see a board game, I don't just see a board, cards, dice or pawns, I see moments together, smiles, laughter, complicity and conviviality.
From the games festival in Cannes, I like to observe the new products that will arrive in order to be able to offer you interesting fun nuggets.
I also love sharing with you moments around golden aces and other games that fascinate us, because more than games, these moments are unique.
I don't just see players in front of me, but enthusiasts, amateurs who are thirsty for fun discoveries, experts with whom I just as enjoy experimenting with more complex but still stimulating games.
I love tricksters who try to bend the rules of the game thinking that I don't see them doing it and that I'm not going to say anything... ;)
I love seeing the smiles appear on the faces of children who need them the most to thrive. :)
I love bringing even just a few moments of sharing and conviviality to all my players aged 3 to 103. ;)
I love seeing you open up to the playful world and sit around a table to play together.
Board games will always remain for me a way of getting to know each other and sharing unique moments together.
We all remember good times shared around board games, regardless of our ages.
So while we in Vaison are Playing the Game, I intend to offer you more and more of the fun world! ;)
Good day and good game ;)
Hello everyone !
Our Play with thought of the day comes from Oscar Wilde :

In 2 words game
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Monster Rush!
Bounty hunters, from 2 to 8 players from 8 years old in 10 minutes, to collect as many little monsters as possible!
In Monster Rush, the king calls on you to chase adorable little monsters from the kingdom, as they hypnotize the villagers.
Capture these adorable monsters and the King will reward you as you deserve. But be careful, each monster requires a special combination of weapons and spells to capture. Speed will be your best ally. Who will be the fastest ?
A monster can be captured when the Weapon and Spell cards revealed by the players match the symbols on the Monster card.
Place the board in the center of the table between the players. Shuffle the Monster cards then distribute them into three equal piles, face down, around the board. Then return the first card of each pile to the dedicated space on the board.
Shuffle the Weapon and Spell cards and divide them into as many piles as there are players. No need to count: it is not necessary that everyone has the same number of cards. Each player receives a pile which they keep face down in front of them.
Taking turns, going clockwise, players turn over the top card of their Weapons and Spells pile and place it in front of them. Once a complete turn has been made, players turn over another card, one after the other, and place it next to the first. It is especially important not to stack the cards: they must all remain visible to all players.
The game continues like this until a monster is captured. When all symbols on a Monster card have been revealed using Weapon and Spell cards (regardless of who), players must immediately place their hand on the monster to capture it.
The fastest player wins the card and places it next to them, face up. At the end of the game, players will have to add up the values indicated at the top left of the Monster cards they have collected.
If a player makes a mistake and touches a Monster card without all the symbols having been revealed, he recovers the card concerned but places it next to him face down. It will count as a negative point (-1) at the end of the game.
When a Monster card is collected by a player (because they captured the monster or because they made a mistake), draw a new Monster card from the corresponding pile and place it on the face-up space on the board. visible. In addition, each player returns their Weapon and Spell cards to the bottom of their pile, face down. The player who captured the monster starts the new turn and the game continues.
When several players try to catch different monsters, only the fastest player wins their card. If it is not possible to decide between them, look at the number at the bottom left of each card: the advantage is given to the player who touched the card with the highest value.
Whether the player made a mistake or not is irrelevant. We take into account the capture attempt on the highest value card and then check if the player made a mistake.
If several players try to catch the same monster, the fastest one wins, that is to say the one whose hand is below the others. In case of doubt (for example if the hands do not touch), the player whose hand covers the largest area of the card wins.
The game ends when the last monster in one of the three piles is captured. Each player then adds the points of their face-up Monster cards and subtracts one point per face-down Monster card. The player with the most points wins the game.
In the event of a tie, the player who captured the most monsters at 5 points wins. If the tie persists, do the same with the monsters at 4 points, then at 3 points. In the (rare) case that tied players have captured exactly the same type of monsters, they share the victory.
The player who scores the most points thanks to the monsters he has captured will be declared the winner!

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“To conquer without danger, we triumph without glory. »
Daily difficulties do not scare me, on the contrary, they are a source of motivation for me!
Because in times of difficulty, we step out of our comfort zone and learn to find a solution that we didn't already have at hand.
In the end, difficulty allows us to gain experience, because if we had not been confronted with it, we would not have been able to learn and evolve.
For example, the recurring network difficulties in Vaison forced me to organize myself differently and ultimately save time!
I also think of the backbiting and gratuitous nastiness that have allowed me to strengthen myself and live more peacefully from now on, even if they still take place.
You can't please everyone, otherwise it would be pleasing no one.
As long as I haven't hurt anyone, if people are angry with me for no reason, it's not my problem, but theirs...
I'm not the type who needs to do harm to gain attention, I prefer to try kindness even if it takes longer to work. ;)
Covid has put us all in difficulty in various aspects of our daily life and work. Thanks to a better balance between professional and personal lives, I was able and can continue to concentrate even better on your requests and playtime that suits you.
We might believe, when the difficulty falls upon us, that we will not find how to resolve it. But by thinking about alternative solutions, we can find more effective solutions or ones that we might not have thought of.
I did not think that Click and Collect could in the long term be a practical solution for some of my customers and I am satisfied that covid has allowed me to provide an additional useful service to those who use it!
In short, if life were too quiet, we wouldn't be pushed back to our limits and we would just pass by without learning anything, which I think is a shame!
Congratulations to all these companies who go through and continue to go through crises and trials and hold on!
Congratulations to all those who did everything they could to hold on and good luck with their new projects, may they bring them satisfaction!
Thank you to everyone who progresses alongside me at the store and in life in general.
Thank you also to those who have contributed and continue to contribute to my experiences of the store, good or bad…

2 words game The fury of ascalon
Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about The Fury of Ascalon!
It's up to you to escape the maze, from 1 to 4 players aged 16 and over for 90 to 120 minutes, by finding the answer to the quest!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
In Ascalon's Fury, the goal is to find the exit from a maze.
The quest consists of a puzzle and six puzzles placed in three envelopes which must be opened one after the other starting with envelope 1.
The solution to each puzzle relates to the correct position and location for each of the three rotating pieces and a clue to the shield you will need at the end to secure your exit from the maze.
Start by assembling the puzzle on the rectangular shape of the poster. Read it and analyze the notebook.
When the puzzle is completed, you can open envelope 1 and read the first riddle carefully.
When the puzzle and riddles are solved, fold the poster once over the puzzle and carefully turn it over to check the back of the complete puzzle.
Open the poster and hold the red filter near the back of the puzzle to check if the position of the small puzzles is correct.
For each puzzle, there are two clue cards. You can use them however you want. Use the red filter provided to read the contents.
Start by opening the “A” card if you need a little help.
Use card “B” to guide you to the solution.
The clue cards do not contain the answers; they simply guide you in the right direction.
Good day and good game ;)
