Hello everyone !

The Paralympic Games!

In 1948, Sir Ludwig Guttman, determined to promote the rehabilitation of World War II soldiers, organized a sports competition between different hospitals at the same time as the 1948 Summer Olympics in London.

This competition, then known as the Stoke Mandeville Games, became annual.

For the next twelve years, Guttman and others continued to use sport as a healing therapy.

 At the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Guttman brought together 400 athletes to compete in the "Parallel Olympics" and became the first Paralympics.

The Paralympics have been held every Olympic year since then, and have been held in the same city as the Olympics since the 1988 Seoul Games.

On 18/08/2024

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

I will always be inspired to play the game!

We Play the Game in Vaison and elsewhere!

Here, in the surrounding area and elsewhere, I am very happy to be able to offer you playtime where we share smiles, unique moments, laughter in an always friendly atmosphere!

The most important thing for me is to offer you playtime that suits you and where we enjoy a moment of sharing moments as unique as you...

I am still as motivated as at the start of the activities to always offer you new things to try and your enthusiasm motivates me even more.

I try to do everything I can to adapt as much as possible to your wishes of the moment, I even learned some basic Italian to go and co-host there…

There’s no stopping me when it comes to playing the game!

Especially when you co-host with crazy hosts who are always caring and friendly. Grazie mille Macandcheesy ;)

We are lucky in the gaming world to have the majority of players who are always motivated even if sometimes a little undisciplined :p

As they say “he who tries nothing, achieves nothing”, so if we can try to slip in a point and the animators don’t see anything it goes well… Isn’t that right Aless’gioc ^^ Grazie mille ;)

And then sometimes it's me who forgets to count my points or does one thing too much when I realize it, but René, Yves, Yvette or Anne keep an eye on things. :p  I just have to behave ;)

And then by meeting you in activities, I am also very happy to discover lots of interesting topics around games.

Thanks to my Sereno players for mutually sharing our knowledge and chatting during game times... :)

Grazie mille Anna, Maria, Alless’gioc, Machandcheesy, Dolores, Gulia e tutti gli giocattori di questa equipa fantastica ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Space Bowls!

Who can best place their marble goals in space, from 2 to 8 players for 30 minutes from 8 years old!

In Space Bowls, we will try to place our balls in optimal ways to align our planets according to our objectives.

Space Bowl is a competitive, simultaneous, turn-free game.

As quickly as possible, players must identify a habitable constellation somewhere in the galaxy using a diagram based on the position of the surrounding planets, transmitted by the on-board computer.

Those who succeed are rewarded with victory points.The game is divided into a series of rounds.

The Captain takes the Destination disk as well as the marbles corresponding to the planets displayed on the Constellation card visible at the top of the Infinity & Beyond pile.

Then it launches all these elements into the On-board computer box.

The Destination disc indicates the valid Constellation card where the spaceship should go during this round.

As soon as the throw has taken place in the On-board computer box, all players immediately start looking for a valid destination among the Constellation cards, that is to say meeting the criteria defined by the on-board computer.

When a player thinks they have found a valid Constellation card, they shout “Go!” » and raises the finger (pointing towards the sky) then begins a ten-second countdown loudly (“10, 9, 8…”) during which the other players can announce “Following!” » if they also think they have found a valid Constellation card.

If a player thinks that there is no destination matching the configuration required by the On-board Computer box – even using the Joker token – he announces “We are all going to die!” »: he then turns the large Crew token in front of him with the red Button side visible, and begins a ten-second countdown (“10, 9, 8…”).

Each player counts the points earned by the destination he has proposed as follows, and moves his Crew token as many spaces on the score track.

The game ends in two cases:either when at least one player has reached the last squarethe score track (we end the current round),either when the stack of Infinity & Beyond cardsis exhausted (after 10 rounds).

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

Hello everyone !

Games from Roman times to the 18th century!

Following the Roman invasion, the Games were opened to non-Greeks.

The prestige of the Games was such that several emperors took part.

On the advice of Bishop Ambrose of Milan, Emperor Theodosius I banned the Games in 393-394 because of their pagan character.

 This ban does not specifically target the Olympic Games but in general the Circus Games of which these are a particular event.

The Olympic Games underwent some timid attempts at renovation between the end of the 18th century, when the ruins of the Olympia sites were discovered, and the end of the 19th century.

Let us cite the Olympiad of the Republic which was held in Paris in 1796, 1797 and 1798.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

When it comes to playing, we're never last!

I'm very happy to see that when it comes to playing, you are never last!

Play time resumed joyfully as soon as gatherings were authorized again and we were able to take advantage of this to get back to playing.

Young and old alike, this is the time when we get together around board games which are also very precious to me…

You are always very fond of discoveries and new games to try to have a good time together.

I'm happy to see residents become strategists and call me to order when I inadvertently forget to apply one of the rules of the game...or even fight mercilessly :)

I also like this little sneaky side that we can have around a game...Around a game, there are no friends, no loved ones, the game is the game... ;)

We're all on an equal footing, with the same rules and that's what's great because it gives a good framework for expressing your strategies during a game...

I love seeing you enjoy the games, your good mood, your less good moods when you lose, your laughter and smiles which inspire me to always do more for you and you always offer more new things.

I also love to tease you just as much as you love to tease me during playtime, with dirty tricks, jokes, always rich exchanges, etc…

And for the little ones to make them smile again and see them burst out laughing despite the events of life they are going through, that’s just my greatest reward…

So thank you for sharing with me the passion for board games and see you soon to play. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Angry Birds Space!

Who can knock down the pigs and score the most points, from 2 players for 15 minutes from 4 years old!

In Angry Birds Space, we will try to knock down the pigs and pieces of wood to win the most points on the game mat.

We install the play mat where an area is defined to place the pieces of wood and the pig on it.

The mat is marked with several play areas with points depending on where the pig and the pieces of wood fall.

We then move away from the mat a few meters to target the playing area with one of the two angry birds in the game.

We then aim for the pig, the pieces of wood or the point areas that interest us in three attempts.

If we do not reach 1000 points during a round with three shooting attempts, we note the player's points.

We then replace the elements so that the next player can also try to reach 1000 points in 3 shooting attempts.

You earn 100 points if the pig falls to the ground and 50 additional points for each piece of wood that falls on the carpet.

The game zones where the pigs or the ends of points fall earn the additional points indicated on the zone.

The first player to 1000 points wins the round and the player with the most points after several rounds wins the game.

You can increase the level of difficulty by moving a little further away from the playing area or with additional challenges such as aiming with the opposite hand from your usual hand or with your back turned, etc.

All you have to do is be imaginative and let your angry birds express themselves! It's up to you to play and have a good time!

Hello everyone !

A revival for modern games in the 20th century!

Originally, the Games were exclusively summer.

Figure skating and ice hockey made appearances on the Olympic program even before the creation of the Winter Games in 1924.

After the initial success of the events in Athens in 1896, the Olympics in Paris in 1900 and Saint Louis in 1904 were buried in the programs of the universal exhibitions.

These games saw women participating in the events for the first time, such as Charlotte Cooper, the first Olympic champion.

The 1906 Olympic Games in Athens, not subsequently recognized by the International Olympic Center, marked a renewed interest of the public and athletes, with very international participation.

JJV's Offs

JJV's Offs

On 04/08/2024

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

The last will be first !

As Mika Hakkinen says, “To be a good winner, you have to be a good loser.” »

When you are passionate about what you do, you fall much more often than you rise. What would be a shame would be not to get up after falling...

Because to be better than you were before, you have to know how to fall, lose, start again, fall again, lose, and always get back up to win small victories day after day.

The first were not always first, they progressed, tested, failed, tried again and finally got there.

After covid, I was unable to restart in-store events, but outdoor events resumed even better than before thanks to my determination.

If we start telling ourselves that we are going to lose or not succeed, we will only have a greater chance of losing if we think about trying and trying again until we manage to do something...

When I started some outdoor events, I didn't think I could do it because it was a whole new style of audience.

And then, I put an action plan in place with small concrete actions to carry out to achieve other, larger actions.

I even almost stopped certain activities for fear of not living up to the expectations we had from playtime...

And then if a goal scares us, it’s because we’ve set the bar high enough and we’re on the right track to get out of our comfort zone and develop our goals.

So I worked twice as hard on what was causing me difficulty in order to be able to meet the demands that were asked of me during these play times.

And today, I am very happy that I didn't give up and didn't give up, because I gained more experience and development from the store's playtime...

It’s often on the other side of your comfort zone that you make the best progress!

If your goals scare you, it’s because they take you out of your comfort zone, but you will see that if you do it, you will end up thanking yourself!

A defeat is a victory, because it teaches us much more about ourselves than a victory. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we are going to talk about Cortex!

Who can rebuild their brain the fastest by taking on the logic challenges, from 2 to 6 players for 15 minutes from 8 years old!

In Cortex be the first to find the solution to four different logic puzzles to rewire your brain and win the game!

Place the test cards in a pile in the center of the table, then turn the first face up.

We will then try to find the answer to the riddle as quickly as possible by putting our hand on the card as soon as we think we have found it.

We then give the answer by showing the card and once verified if the answer is correct, the player wins a card which he places in front of him.

Each player can only have 4 cards in front of him, he will have to discard any if he has more or exchange two identical cards (same back) for a piece of puzzle brain.

If he made a mistake, the card is discarded and a new challenge card is turned over to start a new challenge.

The challenges are made up of 8 different types of challenges:

- The orientation where we will leave from the starting point and find our way to arrive at the place indicated by the arrows.

- The color sequence where we start from the image surrounded by a red circle then we rely on the background color of the animal to find the next animal, then the next, etc.

- The intruder where you have to find the different shape among three shapes.

- The fusioform where we find which shapes made up the main form.

- Constellation where we find the constellation containing the most stars.

- Coordination where we must either with the left hand (blue symbol) or the right (red symbol) beat the sign surrounded by a red shifumi circle.

- Calculation where you must give the result of the calculation starting from a number in red.

- Olfactory challenge where you rub the card face down and try to find the smell hidden behind it. Only the player who won the last card completes this challenge.

The game ends as soon as a player has completed the four pieces of their brain puzzle.

Hello everyone !

The crown of Olympic heroes!

From the Seventh Olympiad (752 BC), the Olympic champion receives a wild olive wreath, a palm branch and a red woolen ribbon called the tænia.

Initially reserved only for wealthy male Greek citizens, the Games led to an Olympic truce.

The latter does not stop conflicts, but allows athletes and spectators to freely cross war zones without being worried.

The significance of an Olympic title is considerable. The champions are authentic folk heroes and are showered with gifts and honors upon their return to their city.

 They have been fully professional since the 5th century BC. AD and can decide to defend the colors of another city.

These changes of allegiance often cause unrest, sometimes significant, in the “betrayed” city.

We can thus cite the case of Astylos of Crotone (6 Olympic titles), who moved from Crotone to Syracuse in 484 BC. BC, causing serious unrest in Crotone.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

You have to know how to lose!

We don't always succeed in what we do whatever the field, but we have definitely lost when we haven't learned anything from it...

Defeat teaches us much more than victory because it helps us point out a point for improvement.

In games as in life, I am not a bad loser.

For example, I decided to no longer take vouchers from Vaison town hall for the next Christmas, because I was receiving fewer and fewer.

 I then deduced that my products were no longer suitable for the people who came to have them for Christmas.

I have classics, but also an original range of board games that I particularly care about and which my regulars enjoy all year round.

I don't plan to start a game where we don't play fair, so I preferred to withdraw from the game.

Because I'm willing to accept a defeat but certainly not to hear that we won't use the voucher (I quote) "at someone racist's store", when we have just entered there to take some advice on games to use the voucher at my colleague’s store later…

I am very happy that my colleague was able to take advantage of these ladies' vouchers, it is well deserved. Thank you to the town hall of Vaison for showing an interest in the store for its Christmas vouchers.

So yes, this time I lost. I would not play the game of disrespect and defamation to get vouchers…

It was already enough to be called racist live and in front of everyone on Google just because of a faulty internet connection…

However, we cannot use the pretext of a comment on the Internet to stupidly use it as if words had no impact on people, Madam.

Well done Madam, you can rejoice, your comment hurt my feelings... However, I only wish you good in return, because I would never rejoice at your misfortune... That’s just not who I am.

Thank you for your ambivalent morality which allowed me to learn to detach myself from people's gaze!

I would also like to thank once again all these wonderful customers and loved ones who supported me in the face of this gratuitous nastiness!

I learned that I could count once again (as with covid) on an extraordinary clientele.

I will continue to be with you so that in Vaison, We Play the Game! <3

Hello everyone!

Today we are going to talk about one finger!

All together, point to a number of fingers hoping to guess the number face down, from 2 to 5 players for 10 minutes from 8 years old!

In one finger, don't lose sight of the other players to see who will point their finger on the map!

A draw pile of button cards is placed in the center of the table, with the numbers visible.

We then announce a number between 0 and the number of fingers placed on the card, therefore from 0 to 5 maximum.

Players then immediately choose to either lift their finger from the card or leave it resting on the card.

The announcement is successful if the number of fingers remaining on the card corresponds to the number announced by the player and the effect of the card is applied.

The player who made the announcement wins the card and another card from the pile is revealed, changing the player who announced the number.

If the announcement is missed, we play again with the same card until the announcement is successful.

The red button allows you to win the card if the announcement is successful, the thief button allows you to steal a card of the same number announced from the piles of other players if it is of the same value.

The double button card allows you to place another button, number face up, and play to win two cards at once.

When there is only one card left and the draw pile is exhausted, the game is over and each player counts the number of cards he has accumulated in front of him.

The player with the most cards wins the game!

Hello everyone !

A well-established tradition!

The first Olympic Games are reputed to have taken place in 776 BC. BC on the initiative of Iphitos, king of Elis.

This year marks the beginning of the Olympic calendar, according to which the years are grouped into Olympiads, and year 1 of the Greek calendar adopted in 260 BC.

However, it is likely that the Games were even older, given the abundance of offerings from the Geometric period found at Olympia.

From then on, the Games gained importance throughout ancient Greece, but there are nearly 300 sports meetings of the same type, the agones.

Under the Roman Empire, the Olympic Games formed, with the Pythian Games, the Nemean Games, and the Isthmian Games, a cycle of sacred games, one of which returns each year.

The athlete who wins prizes at these four Panhellenic Games is designated by the title “periodonikes”.

I hesitated a lot 6 years ago before opening the store... And then, I told myself that I had nothing to lose and rather everything to gain! As the sayings go, “He who tries nothing, achieves nothing” and “He who lives will see”…

I hesitated, because the gaming world was a little present but spread out a lot around Vaison. I wondered if I would have enough players or those close to players to be able to offer board games in Vaison and its surroundings.

And not to simplify things, I gave myself the additional objective of specializing also with independent games, always very interesting, but nevertheless less known to the general public...

And since “luck favors the bold”, always according to a saying, I ended up taking a year to mature my project and train myself in the necessary tools and launched myself.

Since I love challenges, I said to myself why not also offer Vaison moments where we Play the Game!

So, alongside in-store and online sales, I launched in-store game events which were going pretty well until covid.

And word of mouth has meant that private and public structures have trusted me to provide support to their residents and employees.

And then as a local business, I offered cyberspace which was very useful when it was still available. Too bad the abuse from some people forced me to put an end to it…

However, I remain focused every day on the photocopying, scanning and Pick Up parcel services that are useful to you on a daily basis.

When I look back on its first six years, I have gained a lot with all of you on a daily basis.

I matured, learned, made mistakes in order to progress better later, “braced myself and let it be said” as a great businesswoman from Vaison had advised me…

But that’s how I am, I don’t know how to do things by halves, but I have learned to stay calm in the face of life’s challenges.

I also don't know how to reciprocate harm when it is done to me... You don't heal a wound by moving a knife...

All these negative and above all mostly positive experiences allowed me to gain from it!

Thank you again to everyone for sharing my fun journey and living your passion for board games with me. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we’re going to talk about The Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

Be the first to complete the challenges within the time limit, from 2 to 6 players from 20 to 40 minutes from 8 years old!

Ready, set… Hurry!

Greg and his friends challenge you, each one faster and funnier than the last!

The game “Diary of a Wimpy Kid; 10 second challenge” includes everything you need to deflate your best friends.

It's not that the challenges are difficult (okay, some are), but you'll need luck and skill to complete them in less than 10 seconds.

There are ball challenges, cube challenges, intellectual challenges and challenges that sometimes literally bring you closer to your opponents!

Move forward on the board each time you complete a challenge. It's much more fun than letting others overtake you!

Things will get tougher when, with the dice and the ball on your head, you will have to kneel down and name 8 teachers, types of ice cream or breeds of dog at the same time.

The game board tells you the actions you must perform and if you progress quickly, your life will not be that of a loser, but of a glorious victor.

There are 3 categories of challenges: solo, categories and two players. Will you be the champion or the loser?

Choose one of six characters to move, place them at the start, and let the race begin! Players take turns rolling the die and moving around the game board, taking on challenges as they arise.

Each round, players draw a challenge card and determine whether they will accept the challenge or pass it on to the next player. Challenges can be solo, category-based, or two-player. Successfully pass a card to advance as instructed, but fail and you will have to move back one space.

The last four squares on the game board are “no” squares. On your turn, instead of rolling the die, you take a challenge card and complete the challenge.

This time you can't refuse it.

The first player to complete their race wins!

Good day and good game

Hello everyone !

The original games events!

Many legends surround the origin of the ancient Olympic Games.

One says that Heracles built the Olympic stadium and the surrounding buildings in honor of his father Zeus, after having completed his twelve labors, and would have organized with his four brothers a race in which he crowned the winner with a branch olive tree.

He would also have defined the length of the Olympic stadium by surveying it with the length of his foot while taking 600 steps forward.

The competition program includes equestrian events (two- or four-horse chariots) and athletic events known as gymnastics (running over several distances, discus throwing, long jump, javelin throwing, pentathlon, wrestling, pugilism and pankration).

Discus, length and javelin do not give an Olympic title, but are part of the five pentathlon events with the stadium race and wrestling.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

A daily victory!

When I see the playful world that is shared more and more on a daily basis, I tell myself that we are lucky to have so many choices of board games...

The more varied the choice of games and adapted to all of us, the more we want to start or get back into board games.

And then, sharing a fun moment around a table is so unique and enjoyable that it would be a shame to deprive yourself of it.

We have talented creators who allow us to play in different universes and with various styles of game mechanics, from the simplest to the most complex…

The daily victory is to succeed in bringing together amateurs and seasoned gamers to share a pleasant moment together.

My greatest victory is seeing you fully enjoy the moment around the games during outdoor activities and events.

Seeing you create or bond with other players through games is a huge reward for me!

So as long as you live the fun adventure to the fullest with me, I will continue to offer you games and activities as unique as you all!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Stupid Giants!

Be the first giant to climb the mountain to catch 7 stars and win the game, 3 to 6 players for 30 minutes from 7 years old!

In Stupid Giants, let's chase the stars to become the best giant!

The first player takes 2 actions. Pray to the Ancestor and take a free rock without anything on it to move it either to a space on the ground (never in the water), or to another free rock or occupied only by the Head of the Ancestor.

 Finally, he must take the Head of the Ancestor and place it on the displaced rock! Climb the mountain to jump and catch stars!

From the next round, everyone first has 2 free actions, to distribute freely: pray to the Ancestor, then move OR the opposite OR pray twice (to move 2 rocks) OR move their giant twice.

Then, he can stop his turn OR... let out another cry! Another giant (any one) then rolls the big opposition die: As long as the giant receives flowers, he can continue!

With each new cry, the big opposition die will be thrown...

In short, a giant's turn ends when the player decides to do so OR... when he receives a nonos or a carcass in his face OR... when he has caught stars OR when he has lost a fight.

At the end of these 2 actions, a giant can stop its turn OR... show its stupidity and let out a cry of giant effort! Alerted by this cry, another giant (any one) rolls the small opposition die.

Then he decides again whether to stop his turn OR... let out another cry of effort!

Another giant (any) then rolls the medium opposition die.

He moves his giant to a neighboring square: on the ground or on a rock located maximum 1 level higher.

Giants never move diagonally!

Jumping ! A giant who spends an action to move to a neighboring square located 2, 3 or 4 rocks lower, performs a jump.

He grabs 2, 3 or 4 stars respectively and advances his little cube on the score board! His turn is over.

Coming down from a single rock is not jumping, it is called walking for a giant and his tour continues...

The fall of a giant (shot to the carcass, defeat in a fight) never allows you to catch stars.

If a giant jumps from 5 rocks (the maximum height) he does not catch stars, but enters the legend!

The game is then immediately over, the other giants stand up and applaud his victory by KO!

If there is no victory by KO then the first giant to obtain 7 stars wins the game!

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!

I had a dream !

I have always dreamed of working in a field that brings people together and brings smiles to their faces...

This is also why I worked as a waitress with a smile and motivation, because in the restaurant people come together to enjoy a good time.

When I worked at Picard, I carefully learned about the cold chain process and product compositions to be able to best advise customers.

And then I moved towards entertainment for children and teenagers, because providing them with support and a smile on a daily basis is great.

Without forgetting what we receive in return: the smiles, the moments of complicity, the activities that make them grow and gain self-confidence, among other things…

I often meet up with the children and teenagers I had during the post-Christmas events in the town where I come from. It’s always a pleasure to see how they have evolved.

I may be naive, but I think that you can bring people together and get closer to them when you have the necessary open-mindedness to do so…

And so I took the chance to have a commercial premises to launch my slightly crazy, but so exciting project of creating the store so that in Vaison we too can Play the Game!

Because beyond looking at game boxes to read what is written there, I have tested the majority of the games that I offer you.

For what ?

Quite simply because, who can tell you about games better than a passionate person who has been playing since they were a child?

I continue to play every day and I am curious about all types of games long before being simply a store that sells games.

And then the ultimate project concerning the store, it was for me the consecration with the animations!

Rather present in store before covid, I can now offer you and enjoy exquisite moments during outdoor activities with you!

I had a dream, on my modest scale, to succeed in bringing people together and I believe that I am in the process of making it come true, so thank you for your daily trust and enthusiasm, once again. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Flip Hop!

Do the snail break dance as quickly as possible, with 2 to 4 players for 15 minutes from 6 years old!

In Flip Hop, recompose the snail dance in the correct order before the other players to win the break dance card.

We turn over an “objectives” card to place it face up on the table.

The goal is then to be the first to reconstruct the composition of the nine snails in the order and orientation of the “objective” card with its cards in front of you.

The first player to succeed wins the “objective” card, if of course they make no mistake.

If he makes a mistake, he obtains a pledge such as playing with one hand, doing a trick even when two cards are changed or even applauding each time a partner activates his pledge, etc.

If a player obtains 2 “Objective” cards, his opponents can impose a permanent pledge of their choice on him.

For the competitive variant, when a player has reconstituted an objective and has placed his hand in the middle of the table, if the arrangement of this player's snails does not correspond to the "Objective" card, the player receives a penalty in place of a pledge.

He then takes the “Objective” card and places it face down in front of him.

 If a player receives 2 penalties, he is excluded from the game.

For the children's variation, when playing with younger children, allow them to play without the orientation of the card.

For a young child, have them play solo. When he thinks he has the solution, check to see if he wins the card. After 3 points scored, he wins the game.

The first player to win three “objective” cards wins the game!

The Olympics that make history!

Certain editions of the Olympic Games have therefore marked history and greatly changed them.

 If women were excluded from the Games in 1896 because it went against the general ideology but also against that of Pierre de Coubertin, initiator of the modern Games, they still participated in the Olympic Games in 1900 without having been invited.

The women present were able to compete in tennis and golf events.

It was on this occasion that two of the first women to participate in the Olympic Games in 1900 won two gold medals: Charlotte Cooper won the title of Olympic tennis champion and Margaret Abbott that of Olympic golf champion.

When I see what I started with 6 years ago and where the store is today, I am very happy and proud.

Proud because my daily involvement allows us to further develop the world of board games in the area and to bring in even more players. ;)

Very happy because for most of you, you have been there since the beginning of the store and that is priceless!

I landed in a very discreet gaming world at the start and non-existent game activities, with player development in Vaison and its surroundings.

I am quite proud to be able to say that I have brought my modest, playful touch to Vaison and its surroundings via dynamic activities that adapt to each of you.

I hope to continue to bring you my enthusiasm around board games through activities, in the store and online via the blog and video of quick games that I offer you daily.

If you would like to join us in the gaming world, you are welcome. Young and old, beginners or more experienced, there is something for everyone!

The “Discovery Games” events at the store aim to introduce newbies to the world of board games.

So, don’t hesitate to come join me to open up to board games! ;)

I am hopeful that the gaming world continues to be as dynamic and humanly enriching.

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about Into the Blue!

Dive in search of precious resources, 2 to 5 players for 20 minutes, ages 8 and up!

In Into the Blue, explore the depths and collect precious goods, but be careful, you are not the only one who wants to seize these submerged wonders...

On his turn, the active player throws the 6 dice into the lid of the box. Among these 6 dice, he can choose to reroll the dice of his choice, a maximum of two times. He places the dice he wishes to keep in front of him, and throws the other dice back into the lid of the box.

At the end of his three throws, the result can no longer be modified.

If the player keeps certain dice after the first roll, he can choose to reroll any of these dice on the third roll.

The player then arranges his dice, from smallest to largest. Only dice forming an uninterrupted sequence of numbers starting with 1 (1, 2, 3, etc.) are taken into account.

The final result forms an unbroken sequence of numbers starting with 1. If a number is missing in the sequence, all dice with a higher value are lost.

The player must then choose any number from the validated sequence and place on the corresponding level of the game board as many of their Shell tokens as there are dice displaying this number.

During the game, each player establishes his presence on each diving level by stacking his Shell tokens there.

If a player's final result does not include a 1, all 6 dice are lost. Their turn ends and it is up to the next player to play.

If a player's final result contains an unbroken sequence of numbers 1 to 5 along with a chest symbol, they have made a perfect dive. He then does not place any Shell tokens on the board, but randomly chooses one of the Chest tokens at the bottom of the game board. These can have different values ​​(5, 6, 6, 7 and 8), and the player keeps the secret. value of the chest he won. He then immediately plays a new round.

Clarification: when you perform a perfect dive, you must collect a Chest token. You cannot choose to give it up to place a Shell token on the board.

The end of the game is triggered if either a player places their last Shell token on the board or if a player manages to win the last Chest token (by performing a dive).

perfect) and in this case only, the other players do not have a last turn and the game ends instantly.

The player who has placed the most Shell tokens on a level wins the Main Treasure token of the level. The 2nd player with the most Shell tokens on the same level wins the Secondary Treasure token. Proceed in this way for each dive level.

Several players can be tied on the same level. In this case, the player with the most pawns on the level immediately above wins the disputed token by the corresponding tie.

If the tie continues, continue to proceed in this way with the level above, up to level 1 if necessary.

If the tied players have the same number of shell tokens up to and including level 1, the player with the most unused shell tokens wins the level.

If the players still cannot decide between themselves, the player who played their last turn first wins the tie.

The player with the most points wins the game!

Hello everyone !

The games are open to all!

The rules for participating in the Olympic Games have evolved significantly.

Originally, only amateur athletes were allowed to participate in the Olympic Games: participation was prohibited for professional athletes.

 Professional athletes were only allowed to participate in the Olympic Games from 1981.

Women have also been banned from participating in the Olympic Games in the past: they were in fact excluded from the 1896 Games.

They only had the right to participate officially from 1900, but not in all events.

However, since 2007, the Olympic charter has required the presence of women in all sports.

The evolution of the Olympic Games also led to the appearance of the Paralympic Games in 1960 and the creation of the Youth Olympic Games in 2010, reserved for athletes aged 15 to 18.
