Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of "JJV Offs"!
" Necessity is the mother of invention."
Many great inventions were created because they were useful in everyday life or through serendipitous discoveries. They very often address a daily or temporary need.
I created the in-store and outdoor activity sessions because I knew they could fulfill a need to get together and enjoy good times together… The games aspect was just the icing on the cake.
I realized when I set up the store in Vaison that there wasn't a board game shop, but a whole community that was unaware of its existence. I was very happy, and I still am, to have created the concept of these activities in the area.
When I started with the in-store and outdoor activities, the concept simply didn't exist. It seemed relevant to me because I was certain I would find an audience to bring together to play games.
Now, eight years after opening, I see that the gaming community in Vaison and the surrounding area has grown considerably. So, if I've been able to contribute even a little to that, I'm very happy.
I'm pleased to have been helping spread the world of games here, in France and Europe, for a little over eight years, with classic games, but especially with original games that you can't find everywhere else.
I love introducing people to games that everyone owns, but above all, games that fewer people know, even experienced gamers. Because if passionate gamers don't introduce you to these lesser-known games, who will? No one ;)
Good day and good game! ;)

Hello everyone !
And today we’re going to talk about Imakoo!
Fans of sudoku and word games, from 1 to 12 players and from 8 years old for 30 minutes, recreate as many words as possible with 4 varied games!
Imakoo offers you a series of illustrations that represent sounds of the French language.
They all work under 4 simple rules:
-Only phonetics count, we don't worry about spelling.
-Verb conjugations are accepted.
-Proper names are prohibited.
-Consonants represent more than one sound.
Play 4 different games: Maximakoo, Dominomakoo, Génimakoo & Speedimakoo!
In Maximakoo, you have to have the last word. In 5 rounds we will create as many words as possible with the cards placed on the table. The player who cannot play takes a penalty. The player with the most penalties loses.
In Dominomakoo, you have to lay down all these cards by creating words with your cards and those from the table in 5 rounds. The player who cannot create words is eliminated and the last player who can pose wins.
In Génimakoo, we find the most words in a grid made up of 12 cards in the center of the table. In 5 rounds, the one who finds the most words wins.
In Speedimakoo, you find as many words as possible in 2 minutes with the 9 cards arranged in the center of the table. The first player to reach 30 points wins the game.
Play word sudoku solo using the game booklets. All together, share a moment around words.
Good day and good game ;)
