An animation is a friendly moment that we share around the discovery of games.

We meet other expert or novice players.

We play, we laugh.

In short, we let go and relax :)

What are we doing there?

You can (re) discover various board games, party games, board games, strategy, cards and many more :)

We meet with other players to share good times :)

It's used for?

Give yourself a break, a playful break around a game.

Have fun together around the same rules to share good times and bond. :)

Are board games only for children?

We all have the image of the classic games we played as children, but since the world of board games has evolved a lot ...

Now, a lot of games are made to play with family and also between adults. :)

First of all, I wanted to thank all the people who were able to come to the inauguration of the store :) But also those who couldn't come but who thought of us (Claire from CCI, Maël from Asmodee :).

I then wanted to thank our regulars who have followed us from the beginning and who continue to follow us on a daily basis. I like his moments of sharing where we discuss games and others ;)

Thank you to our partners for these good moments of exchange and sharing around the game;) especially Mac Donald's of Saint Romain en Viennois.

Thanks also to my husband and my loved ones who have never stopped believing in me in my Joue le Jeu project :).

You have all contributed to bringing a stone to the building in your own way. ;)

So many thanks to all of you!

See you soon at Joue le Jeu Vaison ;)

The dice owes its name to the Latin "datura" which means "given by lot".

2400 years BC the first dice were found in the Indus Valley (present-day Pakistan).

The Indians were the first dice players.

The earliest traces of their ancestors the knucklebones date from ancient Egypt.

Found in the tombs, they were used as amulets and for divination.

The ossicle never stabilizes on the rounded faces but on the 4 flat faces (where the numbers are put).

In ancient times, four bones were thrown at a time and the total was counted.

The first pipé ossicle dates from the medieval period when it was filed and sealed.

The games of throwing and the games of chance were the two dice games played by the Romans.

Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon without permission used the expression "alea jacta est" literally "the die is cast".

The Greek Palamedes and his troops played dice during the siege of Troy.

They appear in France around the 12th century at the time of chivalry.

In some cities there are even “Scholae Deciorum” or Dice Game Academies.

If I say leaf game or mamelukes, does that mean anything to you?

You certainly know their descendants the playing cards.

The playing cards were born thanks to a derivative of the Indian divinatory dice.

Between 618 and 907 Princess Tongchang then played the leaf game with her in-laws.

As early as the 11th century, Mongolian merchants from Asia reportedly brought them back to Europe along with silk.

It was also in the 14th century that they could have entered via Venice through the Egyptian Mamluk.

This 52-card deck is the one that most closely resembles our current deck.

Progress in printing facilitates their distribution throughout Europe and operates in 4 series (heart, bell, leaf, acorn in Germany; sword, stick, cup and coin in Spain and Italy).

The game that eventually became the "standard" is the French game as we know it with its clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades.

It was only during the French Revolution that the ace became stronger than the king to signify the power of the people over the king.

Jokers were not introduced until the end of the 19th century.

Did you know that the king of diamonds is inspired by Julius Caesar and the jack of clubs Lancelot du Lac?

The more popular toys and games became, the more new games were created.

In 1638, the first casino opened in Venice on the grand canal.

It still exists today.

Created with a desire to learn more about antique dice and card games, we can say that the bet is fulfilled.

The rise of printing contributed to the birth and development of card games.

In 1370, the first card game was born.

They are in oval shapes and do not look the same as our current games.

The first board games and more modern card games arrive at the end of the 19th-early 20th century.

In 1890, the Whist gave way to bridge.

La Belotte was created in 1914 by Mr. Belot who himself established the first rules.

The first monopoly appeared in 1935 and was popularized much later in France.

This is the start of the era of modern games, be they boards, cards or dice.

The famous scrabble and 1000 terminals appeared in 1950 and 1954 respectively.

In 1971, another revolution was underway.

With Chainmail, the first role-playing games emerge in turn.

These famous war games with fantastic creatures that another generation is keen on.

Since the beginning of the Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations, games and toys have played an essential role.

In 700 BC appear the first dolls with articulated limbs.

Many other miniaturized objects were also found such as tools, weapons, statuettes and animal figures.

Let’s not forget the games our children always play, such as marbles and knucklebones. The Romans, for example, played a lot of strategic military games such as Latroncules.

 The games of conquering territory and pieces were the main goal of the games of hopscotch and the pyramid of nuts for example.

Once upon a time, 3000 years ago in Egypt, we were already playing board games.

With the game of 20 squares, you had to advance your pawn by trying to block your opponent on a board containing 20 squares.

It was subsequently made more difficult by the Persian Chalran in the 5th century.

The hierarchy of the pieces then allows more advanced tactics and game bases.

As early as 600 AD, the first chess players appear in the texts thanks to their Indian ancestor the chaturanga.

The Egyptians are part of the people who like to play board games.

You may recognize a game that everyone knows ... Mehen is the ancestor of the game of goose.

The progression is also done with pawns (lions, lionesses and 36 marbles) on a board.

Then appears the ancestor of backgammon, the seneth.

A tactical game where you have to advance your pawns on the board and reach the thirtieth square without getting your pawns caught or falling into traps.

114 years ago today, a great lady was born, Lioudmila Roudenko, the second world chess champion after her compatriot Vera Menchik.

In 1950, Soviet women won the first four places in the World Women's Chess Championship.

She was dethroned in 1953 by her compatriot Elisabeth Bykova!

In the historical context of the time it is a feat!

Thanks to these ladies and thanks google for the booster shot :)
