Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“A life without love is like a year without sunny days. »

When you love what you do, you have less difficulty finding new ideas and sharing your passion with any enthusiast or enthusiast you meet along the way...

If I didn't have the ambition to share with you the world of gaming and what makes it unique and sometimes improbable to surprising, I wouldn't have opened the store.

Sharing my passion for board games with you means sharing my playful and passionately curious side.

“Love is not a feeling, it is a force, a virtue. » as Elizabeth de Bagréef-Spéeanski or Alphonse Karr said so well, “Love is what gives you the desire and the strength to build”.

The love of what we do with passion is a unique and inestimable strength!

I love each year that passes, building with you and seeing a fun world of endless imagination and talent evolve, it’s just great!

Without this love of games, I would no longer be here to offer you unique fun nuggets that suit you...

The playful world shines and enriches us with unique and timeless moments every day and that's why I decided to do what I do, play and make you play!

Our exchanges around games, at the store or elsewhere, are what allow me day after day to enrich myself with life experience, smiles, real laughs, friendly teasing.

I love sharing these unforgettable moments with you, so thank you to you too!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we’re going to talk about Poule Poule!

In Poule Poule, be the fastest and observant, with 2 to 8 players for 20 minutes from 8 years old, and replenish the egg to earn points!

More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog

Good day and good game ;)

It's the Cannes Film Festival and the premiere of the film Poule Poule is turning into drama.

In fact, a little less than an hour before the screening, that clumsy Waf mixed up all the films!

To help Cocotte, who doesn't have a minute to lose, and to prevent Crack from breaking down for good, we must reconstruct the film as quickly as possible!

And don't forget, the story ends with the fifth egg!

A player will stack the cards, one by one, on top of each other in the center of the table. Once placed, these cards will compose the Film. Meanwhile, the other players will just have to count the eggs!

When an egg arrives in the film, it is an available egg. When a hen arrives in the film, she incubates the egg and it is no longer available. Only a fox chases away the hen and makes the egg available again.

The fastest player to tap the film, as soon as it has at least 5 eggs available, scores 1 point

(a point is represented by a section of colored egg). And here we go for a new round!

The first player to reach 3 points - who has pieced together a complete colored egg - wins the game.

When a player taps on the film, the others can choose not to question his word, and tap above his hand, or not tap, to contradict him.

In the latter case, only, we look at the slow motion. We collect the film pile - taking care not to mix any cards - we turn it over, then, card by card, starting with the one on top (the first card played in the round), replay the film again in slow motion ...

We can then add other characters like:

- Roger the farmer, who collects all the eggs laid in the film and leaves.

- Waf the dog, chases away the foxes and the chickens can continue to brood. He then leaves with the fox.

- Grrr the fox disguised as a chicken, who scares away the chickens without being chased away by Waf the dog.

- Quack the duck, which makes the player say “Quack” as soon as he passes and “Quack quack” to the second player. Players who do not say “coin” can have a pledge.

- Tigerworm the earthworm, which attracts the hen and makes it leave a hatched egg.

- Double the ostrich egg, which counts as 2 eggs and which the hen cannot hatch, but which the farmer can collect.

- Rico coco the rooster, which ends the game and the players must announce the number of available eggs present in the packet.

When a player reaches 3 points, he wins the game. If several players reach 3 points at the same time, they do one last round between them.

The first to be the only one to score a point is the winner.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Verdon Gorge

The Verdon gorges, Verdon canyon or Grand Canyon are a set of gorges in France located in Provence, between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Var.

Dug out by the Verdon in the middle of its course, they separate the Castellane Prealps to the south from the Digne Prealps to the north, forming a narrow valley 25 kilometers long and reaching up to 700 meters deep.

Very quickly, the Verdon is enclosed between reliefs which exceed 1,500 meters in altitude while the bed of the river is at an altitude of 630 meters upstream and 510 meters downstream.

Its narrowness and depth - from 250 to 700 meters deep by 6 to 100 meters wide in the bed of the river and 200 to 1,500 meters wide from one slope to the other at the top of the gorges - have made the international reputation of the canyon.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“The stranger is a friend whom we have not yet met. »

In my life and within the store, I have been lucky to meet great people!

I have never been afraid of discovering new people, because I believe that we all have something to discover and learn from each other…

During the outdoor events, for example, I had the great experience of meeting extraordinary people through their open-mindedness and their joy of living!

I think in particular of my Sereno players, with whom I enjoy chatting and joking while we play.

I also think of the Fada team, teamalia, Adamo, bossnlite and all those that I cannot name but who remain in my memory and my daily life for my greatest pleasure. ;)

Thank you to those who also went a long way with me, Mac Donald de Saint Romain, Mistigri, the Ludovores, Ludica Romana, and who fortunately continued to progress in their own way. :)

I find that we discover even more about the people we meet through board games.

The game remains quite revealing of characters, just as much as a good conversation, as shared music or books...

So I am very happy on a daily basis to have found and continue to meet strangers who have often become acquaintances, friends quite often and always great encounters!

THANKS ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about Lady Richmond getting fleeced!

In Lady Richmond Gets Plucked, be the most cunning, 2 to 5 players for 20 to 30 minutes from 8 years old, and recover Lady Richmond's legacy!

More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog

Good day and good game ;)

Tension is at its height in the Wetherby auction house. Lady Richmond suddenly died in the arms of her young lover, Jacques Monétaire.

During a hectic auction, the heirs try to acquire the best lots of the estate and leave the uninteresting items to their rivals.

To achieve this, there is no fair play: they cheat, they swap lots, and they even borrow money from another heir.

Whoever manages to navigate these hectic auctions, by betting their money intelligently, will ultimately succeed in securing the most beautiful pieces and emerge victorious from these tumultuous and crazy auctions.

Each player chooses a character and places the 3 scam tiles in their image (cheating, exchange, borrowing) face up in front of them. Each player also receives 10 coins for their personal supply.

A player turns over a card of their choice on the game board so that everyone can see it clearly.

Each time a card is turned over on the game board, each player can choose to open a bid.

To do this, he must seize the auction block. All face up cards are included in the offer.

If no one wants to make a bid, we continue until a player makes a bid

To make a bid, you collect the auction tile first. We make a first offer with the number of corresponding pieces.

Each player can then outbid or pass. If no player wants to bid again, the auction ends and the one who made the best offer wins the lot and places the cards face down in front of him. The other players collect their pieces.

The auctioneer may order:

- pauses, we then move on to the next player,

-change the cards face up to remove them and put them in the discard pile,

-payday, all players receive the missing number of coins to reach 10. If a player has more than 10 coins, he must return the excess.

-liquidation, all face up and face down cards are part of the auction. If no one takes it, the next card placed ends the auction.

The heirs can with the action tiles:

- cheat: you secretly look at two cards of your choice one after the other among those that are face down on the game board. Then put them back face down.

- exchange: this tile allows you to exchange one of the cards already acquired at auction for a card from the game board.

The game ends when all cards have been auctioned or placed in the discard pile and when the draw pile is empty.

Now count the points of your item cards by subtracting the negative points. The player with the most points wins the largest share of Lady Richmond's inheritance.

In the event of a tie, the player with the most items in a single category (e.g. largest collection of stuffed animals) will be declared the winner.

Matterhorn

The Matterhorn is, with its altitude of 4,478 meters, the 12th highest peak in the Alps. It is located on the Italian-Swiss border, between the canton of Valais and the Aosta Valley.

The Matterhorn is the best-known mountain in Switzerland, particularly for the pyramidal appearance it offers from the town of Zermatt, in the German-speaking part of the canton of Valais.

His image is regularly used for the logos of brands such as Toblerone or Ricola.

The Matterhorn has two distinct peaks at the ends of a 100m rocky ridgeline which marks the border and watershed between Switzerland and Italy.

If the Matterhorn is the highest point of Valtournenche in the south, it is exceeded in the north by four summits which surround it: the Weisshorn (4,506 m), the Dom des Mischabel (4,545 m), Monte Rosa (4,634 m ) and the Liskamm (4,527 m).

“When there is room in the heart, there is room in the house. »

I am always keen to introduce you to the world of board games, because we share many convivial moments there.

And then, as I always say, the more we play games, the more we laugh. ;)

Having unique conversations and moments around board games with you is as good a time for me as it is for you.

Offering you classic games to the most original is also a way for me to open up as you open up to me.

Games have held a special place in my heart since I was little. From my first battle at my grandparents' house to all our daily active games, I never tire of playing and even more so with you!

My favorite board game is sharing it with you in Vaison and elsewhere. My favorite roll of the dice is opening the store. My favorite pawns are the ones that I install and move with you in the heart of the store and outside on a daily basis.

There is room in my heart, like in the store, for beautiful future moments with you! ;)

I look forward to sharing new discussions and games around board games, because these moments teach us a lot about each other.

I am therefore keen to continue to offer you the most beautiful things about the gaming world, its diversity of games and its conviviality.

I plan to stay in the game to continue the game with you! Let's play ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Aurignac!

In Aurignac, develop your civilization, from 1 to 5 players for 90 minutes from 12 years old, to evolve into prehistory!

Aurignac is an asymmetrical game in which you can play three roles with different mechanics.

Neanderthals will lead a clan and attempt to found new tribes and Sapiens will use their knowledge to create art.

Across the Aurignac valley, they will have to adapt and survive the different seasons and the harshness of Mother Nature who, for her part, will try to get rid of these future... Humans!

Based on a deck-building mechanic, Sapiens moves from territory to territory to hunt, collect or attack tribes.

He uses his resources to complete 3 masterpieces before the end of the 10th season and leave his signature for future generations.

Using a worker placement mechanism, Neanderthal moves, hunts, collects or attacks tribes.

He uses his resources to found 7 tribes before the end of the 10th season and thus fight against his inevitable extinction.

On a hand management mechanism, Mother Nature places resources and watches over her herds.

She chooses the climatic conditions of each season, uses her cards to react to the actions of the tribes and trigger events.

All this to prevent the Sapiens and Neanderthals from achieving their goal before the end of the 10th season.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“Prudence does not prevent all misfortunes, but lack of prudence never fails to attract them. »

With the covid crisis we have all seen our situations weakened…

It was then necessary to develop other strategies to continue to keep businesses running.

Within the store, as soon as we knew that by disinfecting we could continue to sell even online and by takeaway, I immediately relaunched sales on the site by following the necessary actions for the safety of my customers and Click and Collect for my customers in Vaison and the surrounding area.

At the same time, to continue to offer you supports and continue this link around the games that we have, I have increased the publications on social networks.

I couldn't see myself waiting for time to pass and seeing if the store would hold up if I sat idly by waiting for the crisis to pass.

So I took matters into my own hands by offering you advice by telephone, email and social networks to find the fun nuggets which I hope will help bring you some happy moments with family and friends.

After a normal games festival in 2020, we had to adapt to this crisis and its consequences on our everyday lives.

Games were “non-essential”, like many other areas, and the empty store all day is what weighed on me the most during this crisis regarding my store…

I was very happy to be able to find you, even masked, at the store and at outdoor events.

Moreover, covid has made outdoor events much more attractive than in-store events. It’s completely understandable after what we’ve been through…

I had carefully planned what I needed to survive the crisis, which allowed me to cope and continue to share my passion for board games with you.

And then, I was lucky (and I still am) to have a golden clientele like you, who continued and continues to believe in my store.

So thank you all!

Lake Bled

Lake Bled is a lake of glacial origin in Slovenia.

Located in the Upper Carniola region 55 kilometers northwest of the center of the capital Ljubljana, on the eastern edge of the Julian Alps.

The lake lies at the foot of the Pokljuka plateau near the outlet of the Bohinj valley, at an altitude of 475 meters.

Its banks are extensively developed: it is bordered to the east by the health resort of Bled, and its medieval castle (11th century) which dominates the lake at the top of a 130 meter cliff.

The lake is small, 2,120 meters long by 1,380 meters wide at most, for an area of ​​145 hectares.

The water temperature is mild, averaging 25°C in summer. With a maximum depth of 30 meters, it encircles the country's only island, the island of Bled.

Typical boats (pletne) which look like gondolas allow you to reach the islet.

The lake has been the scene of world rowing championships on several occasions (1966, 1979, 1989 and 2011).

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“He who goes slowly, goes surely, and he who goes surely, goes far.”

I have always taken the time to quietly think about what I offer you on a daily basis, both for games, activities and services.

That's why I like to celebrate the store's birthdays every year for the last 6 years with you in the store and in events.

I can indeed question myself about the past year and ask what new ideas I can offer you for the following year.

And then seeing where we started from to progress a little more each year, I find that stimulating.

I like to search and find new things to offer you, simply because I always try to do better than what I have been able to do before.

I like to move at my own pace and try to offer you things that sometimes work and sometimes don't, the most important thing is to see what allows you to progress, successful or not...

I plan to continue looking for ways to offer you new things every year, because I love sharing my passion for gaming with you.

Today we are going to talk about the Golden Age!

In Siècle d’or, investors from the Netherlands, 3 to 4 players for 60 minutes from 10 years old, fruitful developments are yours!

In Golden Age, we play merchant explorers from the Netherlands who seek to get rich by developing its different regions.

The theme of this game is the economic and cultural development of the Netherlands in the 17th century.

The game is played on a large game board in the Netherlands, divided into provinces.

Additionally, there are spaces for the West Indies and the East, and a track all around the board with the majority of spaces listing two of the ten provinces (in various combinations) which earn players varying income depending on their influences in these provinces, or income spaces which provide players with a fixed income.

The players' goal is to be the first player to gain 33 victory points, which are acquired by earning money to expand their influence in the provinces, frequent artists, invest in businesses, establish colonies in India or achieve civic progress.

These are represented by purchasing cards from one of six decks, with each deck having a particular objective.

Investment cards allow cash payments, with larger payouts for collecting sets of different values ​​(a single card is worth less than a set of three cards).

Artists provide a potentially large source of victory points, but require several rounds of patronage (i.e. money) before paying out.

Colonization cards provide ships, captains, and cannons to equip expeditions to establish colonies which yield victory points and access to the highest paying spice investment card game.

Civic cards can provide governorships in provinces (victory points and income), civic improvements (victory points), a special action that allows their holder to modify the normal rules to advance a token on the track of the board.

There are cards that also work with certain other decks, in the Civic deck (e.g. Investments, Expedition Components, etc.).

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“To take revenge for an offense is to put oneself on the level of one’s enemy; to forgive him is to put oneself above him. »

Since the time that I have suffered the uncomfortable behavior of certain individuals out of a spirit of “competition”, I believe that my patience and my resilience no longer need to be proven…

When you send your friends to tell you that “what you are selling is crap…. ". Whether they come to the front of the store or allow themselves to insult me ​​in the street of “la c…….” board games”, we don’t really have any moral lessons to give to our “competitor” as you like to call me…

Almost 6 and a half years without flinching in the face of all this, because as I told you in person when you came to ask me in my own store “Could we be united?” ".

I told you that I was not interested in showing solidarity with people who denigrate my store and my values...but that I would not return the favor, because that's simply not me...

However, I forgave you a while ago, because I decided to focus my attention and energy on something more useful and constructive, my store!

I'm talking about this so that you understand once and for all that I will NEVER respond to your baseness, whatever the level...

I hope for you at some point that you will be able to refocus on yourself to appreciate what life has to offer you.

I wish you good sales and lots of good things in your professional and personal lives, but without me...

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we’re going to talk about Identiquest!

In Identiquest, who will steal the most precious stones without being unmasked from 3 to 6 players for 15 minutes from 8 years old!

In Identiquest, we are precious stone thieves who must seize them, be unmasked or escape.

We shuffle the precious stone cards and place the draw pile face down in the center of the table, then we spread 5 cards from the face up pile in the center.

We then place the 7 different suspect cards in front of each player with the question mark faces up.

Each player then receives an “identity” card which they look at discreetly and place face down, without showing it to the other players.

The objective of each player will then be to steal the precious stones of the same color as their “identity” card.

Each turn, players have the right to one of two actions, steal gems or accuse a player.

To steal stones, the player takes 2 of the 5 precious stone cards placed in the center of the table and places them in front of him, this will be his loot (he places them on top of those already stolen if he has any).

We then replace the 2 stolen cards with 2 new cards from the pile in the center of the table.

To accuse a player, the player whose turn it is must report him to the police by announcing the color of the “identity” card he thinks the player has.

You must have at least 2 precious stone cards in your loot to be able to accuse another player.

If the accusation does not match the color of the offending player, the question mark card placed in front of the player will be turned over to show a red cross which indicates that the player's "identity" card is not of that color.

The player who accused him will have to give him 2 precious stone cards from his own loot.

If the accusation was justified, the accused player turns his “identity” card face up and all the other players turn their question cards of the color concerned in front of them towards the red cross.

A player is unmasked as soon as he is accused and it is the right color, he must then give 4 precious stone cards to his accuser (or the rest if he has less than 4).

A player escapes as soon as the last question mark card is turned over, he can no longer be accused.

As soon as the player has performed one of these two actions, another player takes their turn and chooses from these two choices.

The game ends when either the precious stone cards are exhausted or all players are unmasked or escaped.

Each player counts the number of precious stones in the color of their “identity” card to know the number of points they have earned.

The player with the most points wins the game.

Lagos Beaches

Lagos, "The Lakes", is a Portuguese city located in the south of the Algarve, at the mouth of the Bensafrim.

Lagos is an old seaport with a history dating back over 2000 years. Its name Lagos derives from the Gallic Lacobriga.

Lagos was first a trading post where the Carthaginians recruited Gallic mercenaries to fight the Romans during the Wars.

It was then colonized by the Romans, and depended on the Roman province of Lusitania.

There are still some Gallo-Roman remains in and around Lagos itself.

It was probably at Lacobriga, near Mount Molião, that the rebel general Sertorius, with the support of Lusitanian auxiliaries, defeated the army of Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius sent to arrest him.

Lacobriga was already a considerable port at that time. In the 6th century, the city was successively governed by the Visigoths from the Kingdom of Toledo then by the Byzantines.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. »

If there is one quality of mine that has always been useful to me in life and especially in the store, it is patience...

I wanted at all costs to develop moments around board games with you and not just sell them to you.

The events at the store took off quite quickly and were going pretty well from the start.

I had to be more patient with the outdoor activities which started timidly.

Patience can seem bitter when you are not immediately recognized for the experience you can offer.

But as they say “Rome was not built in a day”, every project is built, needs to mature and develop in order to evolve perpetually.

We put our stones in place one after the other and then we adjust them if they are not ready to build something solid.

And then over time, we reap the sweet fruits of what we sowed and we know why it was worth the wait.

Now, since covid, my outdoor activities are very calm and my outdoor activities are very dynamic.

This is why I chose to introduce games with “Discover Games” to introduce beginners to board games and why not help find new players. ;)

Everyone receives their blessings, there is no point in being jealous or eyeing the good things that other people gain...

What takes time to build often lasts longer than what is hastily built.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Noli!

In Noli, let's build the most powerful seaport with 4 players for 45 minutes to be the best patron!

In Noli, we control a thriving medieval maritime city under the benevolent patronage of the powerful Republic of Genoa.

This sun-drenched fishing community has a rich history of independence, trade and competition.

Every year, in September, in order to determine the fishing rights for the following season, the gozzi (typical fishing boats of Liguria) from the four districts of Burgu, Ciassa, Màina and Portellu organize a regatta along a route of 1,600 meters, in fractions of 400 meters between buoys.

Not content with this form of competition alone, merchant families from each neighborhood compete with each other to build tall red brick towers to display their wealth.

Their successful buildings give the town of Noli its distinctive appearance, although no merchant tower can hope to match the proud castle atop Monte Ursino, whose constant vigilance and defensive walls protect Noli from Saracen raids and assaults jealous neighboring towns!

Each game follows a series of rounds, during which players will secretly bid on four actions using coins. The player who makes the highest bid for each action wins a bonus or moves closer to victory by building a floor of their tower.

Between each auction session, players frantically roll dice in real time to simulate the famous Regata-dei-Reoni. The winner of the race gets to fish in the best places, drawing from the best deck of fish cards, while the other players must draw from worse decks containing fewer fish. These cards can also feature events such as "The Saracens Attack!" and “Storm!” which disrupt the game and push players back.

If a player manages to build 6 tower floors, or have the most tower floors at the end of the game, they win!

Little miracles every day!

I am one of those people who think that we can enjoy all the little things in everyday life.

In the world of board games, I would say that each moment that I share with you around a game, a discussion is unique.

All these good little moments are for me my little daily miracles, because I never get tired of sharing all these moments with you...

So finding the game that makes you laugh together and have a good time is great!

Allowing you to offer your loved ones players gems that they would not necessarily have discovered elsewhere is also one of my objectives.

And then share with you play times that are always friendly and bring us closer together, these are moments out of time...

I always look forward to coming and joining you at the various events, whether my events or the co-hosted events.

Because coming to your contact to make you play and have a good time, these are little playful miracles…

I love being the one who makes you play solo as much as sharing these moments of animation with colleagues from the gaming world!

 Because each animation, or each game or service sold, these are always instructive moments of discussion that help me progress on a daily basis.

I like to progress so that I can share even more unique moments with you, these are my little everyday miracles!

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Master Islands!

Be the first to win the maximum number of islands to become the Master Islands, 2 to 4 players for 20 minutes from 8 years old!

In Master Islands, we are corsairs who must seize as many islands as possible to become the master of the islands!

We shuffle the island cards then distribute 3 to each player and place the rest face down in a draw pile in the center of the table.

We place a first card from the draw pile face up on the table and each player chooses a color and places their two galleons on the island card face up.

A game turn is done in 3 phases. We start with the discovery phase.

We can place an island card so that it is adjacent to a card where we already have a galleon of our color (but not diagonally).

You can then move one of your galleons from a single card adjacent to the card where it is located vertically or horizontally.

If the island card placed by the player is of the same color as one of the cards where he already has a galleon, the player can put down another island card.

If this is not the case, it switches to the conquest face.

If the player has made a vertical, horizontal or diagonal alignment of cards whose sum is equal to 10, he can recover them if they do not include any galleon tokens, regardless of whether they follow each other or not.

If he cannot recover an alignment, the player moves to the resupply phase.

The player draws the number of cards he needs to fill his hand with 3 cards.

The game ends when there are no more cards in the draw pile or on the table. We then count the points already acquired by each player's 10-point island alignments.

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

If there is a tie, the player whose island sum is higher between the two tied players wins.

Play Master Islands in cooperative mode with a victory from 12 islands recovered or in more intense competitive mode with privateer mode where one player plays against all the others.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

My superpower: making you smile!

During playtime, one of the children I look after told me after experiencing a difficult moment that I was the “Wonder Woman of Smiles”.

I found it super cute and then I asked him why and he told me “because even when I’m sad, you make me smile every time, so you’re the Wonder Woman of smiles”.

I already don't understand why and how you can hurt people and have a clear conscience, but then hurting children really annoys me.

I didn't have many funny moments growing up and this is my way of showing them that we can get through it despite everything life throws at us...

I am now happy that my personal experience can help me understand these children more than anyone else and help them to smile again for a moment...

Because I know what a smile costs when life is not easy from childhood, I love seeing their little faces smile and hearing them burst out laughing...

I love these moments suspended in time where they can escape their daily lives for a moment and enjoy being children like any other...

Even in entertainment in general and in the store, you tell me that I often have a smile.

I have a smile because I haven't always had it and because sharing my passion for board games with you is above all sharing good moments of sharing and laughter.

Sharing my passion with you to bring you closer to each other through games is just invaluable to me!

So if I can bring a smile to your face and make you laugh, young and old, I will continue to do it every day.

I also intend to stay for these children and for you the “Wonder Woman of smiles”. It’s my superpower that I hope I never lose so I can share it with you. ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Ninja Camp!

Who will be the fastest and most cunning of the students? Only the best will be able to become the disciple of Sensei Saru, 2 to 4 players for 30 minutes from 8 years old!

In Ninja camp, we will try to achieve the best score by collecting Technique cards.

Each player is given two Starting Technique cards and

four ninjas of the same color, then the ninja clan cards which they place in front of them face up.

We then mix the techinque, trap and wall cards together randomly to form a training ground:

 -For 2 players, a field of 8*6 cards.

-For 3 or 4 players, a field of 8*7 cards.

Then each player will successively place one of their ninjas on a technical card on the grid until each player has their 3 ninjas placed on all different technical cards.

The active player chooses one of the following three actions:

- Play a Technique card from your hand, then place it in your discard pile.

- Activate the power of your Ninja Clan, then turn over your card (can only be used once in the game).

-       To skip the turn. If a player cannot play Technique cards or use their Ninja Clan's power, they must pass.

Unless indicated on the card, a player cannot move diagonally; through, over or end your move on an empty space, a wall or another ninja.

He cannot move on the same card twice during the same turn or return to his starting square.

The player collects the Technique card or Trap card his ninja was on at the start of his move and adds it to his hand. This step creates empty spaces in the training ground as the game progresses.

When all players have passed, the game is over.

 Players collect the Technique cards occupied by their ninjas on the training ground and place them in their discard pile.

Each player adds up the scores of the Technique cards in their hand and their discard pile.

The player with the highest score is declared the winner and earns the coveted spot as Sensei Saru's disciple!

In the event of a tie, the player who played last wins.

Good day and good game ;)
