- You, this magnificent clientele who supported me when I was called "racist" because I didn't have the Internet (yes, yes just for that...^^) with the Google comment that went with it of course otherwise this is not funny…. Thank you :)
-You, these golden clients who join me in entertainment and with whom I always share unique and warm moments in Vaison or elsewhere! Thank you, Grazie, Thanks, Gracias ;)

Hello everyone !
So I have some thanks to give and I will save the best people for another post because we always save the best for last ;)
So let's start with my fan club which we don't know about ^^:
- if you didn't like the new products last time AJ & Co. you should tell me rather than giving me 1 out of 5 on Google. :) And who knows, try to see if there isn't something you might like in it, or come see me so I can explain them to you, it's even better ;)
- on several Google files of other traders with famous ratings, we can see that they too suddenly became racist at the same time as me, like that, poof, overnight! :) What a coincidence ! ;)
- on the other hand, if because I don't have the Internet I am racist, my advice is still good despite everything, but is no longer so when you have to buy a game with a voucher that they offer you. :) That’s good, you will only be able to use them elsewhere this year only. ;)
- no intimidation, insults and harassment are not “normal” my dear AJ & Co., that’s what it says! Whether it happens to teenagers or adults, I would NEVER be on the side of the bullies! And 6 years like that really and without taking revenge, that’s resilience! Well done Play the Game Vaison! :)
-well done my dear AJ & Co. you got a little word from me in return, which I know you won't like. :) Enjoy it my dear AJ & Co., it's your glory day ;) I don't like your actions and words either, but I'll live with it ;).
As I told you face to face at the store (because no, I don't need to sneak up on you ;) ), I wouldn't retort, I'm not like you and that would be okay. the importance in the life of my business that you do not have. ;)
Thank you to these people who allowed me to grow through the trials they put me through and continue to put me through. ;)
For teenagers and people who experience harassment or meanness or jealousy, you don't have any of the problems that these people like to invent for you!
You will always only be put down by people who don't feel good about themselves and envy your strength or simply the person you are who force them to confront the problems they have and don't want to solve. …
If you think they are your friends, they are not, friends support you and don't tear you down.
Believe in yourself because you deserve it! I believe in you and I like to see you carry out the projects that are important to you ;)
It was important that I dot the i's, not for myself, but for those who suffer and who remain silent.

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
There will be sport!
Board games are not just games sitting quietly around a table.
Many games are played or can be played outside to have fun while enjoying the good weather.
I am thinking, for example, of molki, the game of papattes, kub and many other outdoor games which are just brilliant!
And many games can also be adapted to make them a little more sporty…
Have you ever tried to play jungle speed by putting the totem on the other side of the room you are playing in?
Don't leave anything lying around because it can quickly end up becoming anything. But it promises eventful games... ;)
We can also adapt games to make them life-size formats where we are at the heart of the game.
For example, this is what I did for the 5th anniversary by offering you a giant Mad Trip in the store!
What a pleasure to have seen you having fun enjoying the course that I have proposed to you, both the youngest and the oldest!
For the store's 6th anniversary, I plan to offer you an original game to celebrate with you!
Brain gymnastics is always relevant whether we play a game outdoors or around a table, because we have to admit, we generally like to win. ;)
We know that we cannot win all the time, but at least we will have won in strategy, in deduction, in logic, in resources, but above all in good times shared around board games.
In short, we will continue to move to play the game in Vaison and elsewhere. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
From June 24 to 29, to celebrate the store's 6th anniversary, there will be not 1, not 2, not 3, but 6 board games to win!
From 30 euros of purchase at the store during the anniversary week, a participation form will be added to the anniversary game box to win 1 of the 6 games.
There will therefore not be 1 winner, but 6 winners!
Draw Friday July 1st at 7 p.m. on Facebook live!
So it's up to you ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Full Speed!
Rank the different objects and animals in order of speed, from 10 to 30 minutes for 2 to 8 players!
In Full Speed, placing the cards in the right place will prevent us from drawing penalty cards.
We place all the cards in a pile face down on the table, then we place a first card in the center of the table.
A player then draws a first card and has the other players guess his speed by showing the entire card except the speed which he hides with his fingers.
The player questioned by the first player has three possibilities for placing the card on the speed line:
- On the left, if he thinks that the card is slower than one of the cards already on the table.
- On the right, if he thinks that the card is faster than another face up card.
- Above, if he thinks that the card is as fast as one of the cards already on the table.
If he made no mistake, the card remains on the Speed line, but if it was not correct, he takes the penalty card and places it face up in front of him.
As you play, the Speed line will expand and the placement of cards will be more difficult to perform.
As soon as there are 12 cards lined up, the player who has just placed the twelfth removes the first and last card from the Speed line and the game continues.
The game ends as soon as 3 penalty cards are collected with 4 players and 5 with 2 and 3 players.
The game continues with the remaining players until there is a winner.

Hello everyone !
From ancient Greek games to modern Olympic games!
The concept of the Olympic Games initially appeared in Ancient Greece.
At the time, the Olympic competitions were made up of gymnastics events (running, javelin throwing, shot put, wrestling, pentathlon, etc.) but also horse racing events (chariot races).
Today, more modern disciplines are represented.
A total of 45 disciplines were to be represented at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 for a total of 339 events!
The first modern Summer Olympic Games took place in 1896 in Greece, in Athens, and the first Winter Olympic Games took place in France, in Chamonix, in 1924.

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
In Vaison, we play the game!
Almost 6 years ago, I opened the store with the aim of developing the fun world of board games in Vaison and its surroundings.
Several attacks later, I made sure to still hold the bar firmly, sometimes with gritted teeth, but always with determination.
When I opened the store, there were no toy libraries and other game stores in Vaison and that was a shame... ;)
I took the risky gamble of opening a board game store in a slightly more isolated street in the city center of Vaison.
And then, I offered a stand at the games festival with the mistigri baronnies toy library.
And one thing led to another, or rather word of mouth, game activities began at Mac Donald in Saint Romain.
And everything came together, to my greatest happiness with activities with game libraries, town halls, associations and various private and public structures, including Sereno for example…
The store's opening audience grew to more and more gamers, but in the beginning, discovery was at the heart of the store.
This is also why I wanted to continue to develop game discovery activities with “Jeux discover” within the store.
Initiating board games doesn't scare me, you are welcome to discover a daily game of games together around a table where we create good memories.
Because the more players we have, the more we play!
Since the start of the store, I not only wanted to sell board games in store and online, but also to play and help gamists and amateurs in the sector play!
Thank you to all those who participate with me on a daily basis in this magnificent game of the playful world!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Cross Fire!
Don't get caught in crossfire, 5 to 10 players for 5 to 10 minutes from 14 years old!
In Cross Fire, we will play hidden roles either VIP protectors or VIP enforcers, but also personal objectives.
In Cross Fire mode, players form two teams, blue and red. The red team must reach the VIPs and the blue team must prevent the VIPs from being hit.
After looking at the cards of the different characters, we learn about their role in the game and their specificities.
Then we shuffle the cards again to distribute them to the next player who will do the same.
You will then have to claim a role with the card placed in front of it face down, trying to hide your true role to achieve your objective.
By discussing with the other players, about the roles that we try to deduce with the previous shuffling of the cards and their words, we try to determine what the role of the other players is.
To claim another role, you change the meaning of your card. We cannot show our card face up to the other players, but we can very well claim to be playing a role that is not ours to achieve our objectives.
Then, after 3 minutes of discussion and bluffing, on the count of 3, we point our finger at another player.
With his finger still pointed at another player, the game leader announces:
- If you are not armed, lower your finger.
- Agents, reveal your role card.
- If you have been targeted by an agent, lower your weapon and reveal your role card.
- VIP reveal your role cards. Are you targeted?
Yes: the red team wins; No: the blue team wins.
Some cards have victory or defeat conditions and are announced at that time.
With Sniper mode, the sniper will attempt to kill the assassins by placing his sniper shot cards before the time runs out. At the end of the round, the players targeted by sniper fire are shot down and reveal their role cards.
If all assassins are killed, the blue team wins; but if the sniper kills a VIP or a civilian, the red team wins.
If no team has won at this stage, the assassins not defeated reveal their role cards; we count down again to 3 until the final resolution.
To win at Crossfire, let your instincts guide you.
Your first lead is the role the players say they have. If too many players have the same role, someone is bound to be lying...
Your second avenue is observing the cards before the start of the game. Did you see the same cards as what other players announced?
Perhaps you have found allies... Each piece of information is very useful; it's up to you to put the pieces of these bits of information together.
So who is lying? Who tells the truth? Who should hide their identity? Who seems to be looking for the truth? Who seems evasive or too talkative?
We add up the points from each round and the player with the most points wins the game.
Will you be caught in the crossfire?
Good day and good game ;)

The first Olympic games
The first Olympic Games were organized in the 8th century BC, in Olympia, Greece.
They took place every four years for 12 centuries.
Then, in the 4th century AD, all pagan festivals having been banned by Emperor Theodore I, the Olympic Games disappeared.
However, the sporting tradition was resurrected, around 1,500 years later, during the first modern Olympic Games, which took place in Greece in 1896.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Daily golden moments with you!
An independent store is a daily race, although I'm not looking for the gold medal.
A podium of personal glory doesn’t interest me either…
I have never tried to be better than anyone except myself.
For me, everyone has room to develop their desires and passions.
So I really don’t understand the point of the principle of “competition” which pushes some people to put obstacles in the way of others…
The day is not coming when you will see me belittling or trying to destroy someone, even if the opposite is more than true.
In the store as in everyday life, putting others down has never been part of my life and believe me it never will be!
No, I would not belittle, but I would not keep silent in the face of this kind of baseness either…
The only thing that interests me is to see the gaming world progress and evolve so that we can all enjoy it together.
The rest is only vile and childish in my eyes...
I long for every moment I share with those who share the passion for board games with me ;)
Moreover, those who meet me on a daily basis have a glimpse of who I am in the store and during events.
My real customer words can be found here:
https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/en/joue-le-jeu-vaison/words-from-customers.html
So, thank you to everyone who has supported the store on a daily basis for almost 6 years and welcome to everyone who continues to join me along the way. ;)
In Vaison, we play the game! My gold medal is you!

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about 8 bit box!
3,2,1, ready, fire, go for a wild Olympic race, among other things, 40 minutes of 4 to 6 players from 8 years old!
In 8 bit box, we play Pixoid, Outspeed and Stadium! Defeat the ghosts, win the race and prove yourself at the games!
And today, we're going to talk about Stadium and its 10 team events to achieve victory over other athletes.
The best athletes from the Blue Starz and Red Sunz are expected on the athletics track!
You have trained your whole life for this event. It's up to you to show what you're worth, but keep in mind that you will be stronger as a team.
Manage your efforts as best as possible during all the events so that your nation shines by winning as many medals as possible!
Using your controller, decide how much Energy you want to spend in the current Trial.
Each Event being different, you will need to be on the same wavelength as your Team partners to be able to go the distance, and thus win a maximum of Medals at the end of 10 Events.
Each type of Medal earns a certain number of points.
Trial tiles come in three types: standard Trial tiles, Rest Trial tiles, and Final Trial tiles.
When the Trials are set up, they form an athletics track.
During this phase, the first player reveals the next tile still face down according to the direction of the game.
During this phase, play the current Event as indicated by the explanations read by the first player.
You are never allowed to program your controller with a number greater than the amount of energy remaining on your Energy track. You can always program 0. The cube on your Energy track can never go beyond 30 or below 0.
If the Crucible allows you to communicate with other players, everyone at the table must be able to hear you. You can never show your controller to other players until the Crucible asks you to reveal it.
So who will win after the following events: track cycling, horse riding, golf, team gymnastics, 4X100m relay, weightlifting, pole vault, archery, pole vault, 100 meters, beach volleyball, fencing, rugby , taekwendo and the final, basketball.
When the Trial ends, award the corresponding Medal(s) as described in the explanation of each Trial.
The game ends when the Medal of the 10th Event has been awarded. Each Team adds up its victory points.
The team with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.
Good day and good game ;)

The Olympic flag
The Olympic flag, designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, is one of the symbols of the modern Olympic Games, consisting of a flag formed by five rings of different colors (blue, yellow, black, green and red), intertwined on a background white, in order to represent the universality of Olympism.
The five intertwined rings represent the five continents united by Olympism, and the six colors (counting white in the background) represent all nations, as at least one of these colors was present in each country's flag , at the time of its creation in 1913.
This flag is the symbol of the universality of the Olympic spirit.
The current interpretation associates a continent with each color of the rings: green represents Oceania, black Africa, yellow Asia, blue Europe and red America.
It is refuted by the International Olympic Committee which associates the colors of the rings with the colors of the flags found on the five continents.

As the store's 6th anniversary approaches, I feel in an even more playful mood than usual!
Each year that passes is a source of personal enrichment for me…
Our exchanges, the game world which continually evolves, the game activities that we share; the simplest things that make me the most happy every day.
I plan to continue to collect and preserve each of these precious exchanges inside and outside the store in my memory.
All these moments which are all gems that I seize on the fly and keep with me on my playful journey at your side.
From the first events at Mac Donald's in Saint Romain en Viennois to current events, all these experiences have brought me even more experience and good memories.
Your trust in well-known and lesser-known board games, validated and renewed on a daily basis, I am only rich in all that...
I always have lots of new ideas in mind that I will present to you little by little so that we play the game with ever more enthusiasm and sharing. ;)

Today we are going to talk about Take gem all!
In Take gem all, find the best word for 20 minutes, from 8 years old and from 2 to 10 players to win as many gems as possible!
In Take Gem All, grab as many precious stones as possible by being the fastest player to give an answer corresponding to the theme played and starting with one of the four letters in play!
But be careful; beware of trap cards that could slow you down and diamonds that could disrupt the flow of the game...
Once the theme is known, players must be the quickest to find an answer related to this theme and whose first letter begins with one of the 4 letters proposed by the Precious Stones.
The first player to give a correct answer wins the Gemstone of the letter used:
- Emeralds (green) are worth 1 point
- Sapphires (blue) are worth 2 points
- Rubies (red) are worth 3 points
- Diamonds (gray) allow you to steal a stone from another player.
There are 4 kinds of trap cards, bamboo, carat'strophe, cursed stone and diamond fever which allow other players to play, replace the precious stones, have to discard a stone and use the letters following the letters drawn to create words.
The game ends once all Theme cards have been played. Players count their points and the player with the most wins. In the event of a tie, the tied players compete in a final round.

Huacachina Oasis (Peru)
Huacachina is a village located in the region and province of Ica, Peru, near the city of Ica.
In 1999, its population was 115 inhabitants. The village is built around a small lake, making it the second oasis on the continent (after that of the Chilean village of San Pedro de Atacama).
Legend has it that the oasis was born when a beautiful native princess took refuge there to escape a hunter.
Vegetation would then have developed as soon as it came into contact with water, the origin of the dunes being explained by the fold marks left by the princess's coat.
Rumors continue today to maintain the story according to which the young woman became a mermaid, who still swims in the waters of the lake.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Penny papers, we try, we adjust and we progress.
A store is a daily adventure. Sometimes things work the first time and sometimes you have to try again and even change your strategy when necessary.
To try to move the store forward, I set achievable goals for myself, even if it means achieving them gradually.
Because sometimes, when we demand too much from ourselves, we don't achieve things any better. You have to know how to find the right balance...
The store is therefore progressing slowly but surely, just like me, to be sustainable over time.
The mistakes I made along the way allowed me to improve the store and grow along the way. We never stop learning as long as we remain curious and open to the world around us.
I am naturally curious about almost all subjects, except what people say and anything close to it, because I like to discover things and getting out of my comfort zone doesn't put me at ease, but it 'is always useful and informative.
When I offer you themes every 3 months, I continue to discover things before sharing them with you for anyone who might also be curious. :)
The adventure is never easy, but it provides unique and enriching moments. I am very happy to be able to share them with you on a daily basis. ;)

Galapagos Islands (Ecuador)
The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago and province of Ecuador located in the northeast of the South Pacific Ocean, at the latitude of the equator.
The Galapagos Islands are also called the “Columbus Archipelago”. Unofficially, they are also called “the Enchanted”.
“Islas de los Galápagos” means “Islands of the Sea Turtles”.
Among the 48 eminences that form the Galapagos archipelago only 19 of them are islands. The remaining 29 are uninhabited islets, with all the local population concentrated on the islands of Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal, Isabela and Floreana.
The interior of the islands is, due to its volcanic formation, quite mountainous; moreover, it is the craters which represent the highest points of the islands, which can reach up to 1,707 m (Wolf volcano).
The oldest island, San Cristóbal, only reaches an altitude of 730 meters compared to 1,476 meters for the island of Fernandina, one of the most recent.
The Galapagos Islands are depicted in the Mysterious Cities of Gold cartoon.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Chili dice, the dice are cast and life spices up their score.
The die is cast throughout the year. And sometimes they don’t lack spice…
It happened to me when I embarked on a new project, to wonder if I was capable of carrying it out and to be afraid to commit to it thinking that I would not be qualified enough to carry it out…
I'm thinking, for example, of the first team building around the second year of the store where I was asked to lead a group of 20 people.
So many people for this type of event for the first time, it was really stressful, I assure you.
I felt like I had forgotten half of my equipment and then didn't know where to stand in front of 20 pairs of eyes...
And then, I tried everything and launched different styles of play mixing cooperation and competitive. This isn't the best idea I could have had...
Clearly competitiveness won out over cooperation and they all lost.
And I can tell you that I felt the spices of life there... :s . I was very hot because I was so stressed...
And then, DING, I said to myself, damn it, we're going to try to integrate role play which will allow them to integrate the competitive game and end up being forced to cooperate and succeed together.
Competent and competitive each in their field, I understood that this team needed to see that they all had weak points to help each other.
Finally, realizing that their colleagues also had shortcomings allowed them to create the beginnings of cohesion by initiating a more calm dialogue.
In the end, I still managed to initiate the beginnings of a dialogue in this team. The following team building sessions went very well. ;)
In short, one of the spicy episodes of the store.

In Chili Dice, create dice combos for 30 minutes, from 8 years old and from 1 to 4 players without forgetting the chili peppers to score the highest score!
In Chili Dice, you can roll the dice as many times as you want during a round to try to maximize your score.
But you only have thirty dice rolls at most in the entire game, so be careful when you try your luck!
Chili Dice includes a set of six six-sided dice, with one side on each die having red pips instead of white, with a red 1 on one die, a red 2 on another, and so on.
On a turn, you roll all the dice, set aside any dice you want, and rotate any red die facing the side you want (or leave them as is).
You can re-roll the remaining dice and repeat the process, noting each roll on the score sheet.
When you stop, you score the dice in one of the ten fields on the score sheet, scoring for the numbers 1 through 6 (the red die doubling your score, if present); a straight; red dice; sets; and everything you have in front of you.
If you complete all ten fields before maxing out your rolls, you receive 5 points for each unused roll.
Whoever scores the most points wins!
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Caño Cristales (Colombia)
The Caño Cristales “the stream of crystals” is a river in Colombia, a tributary of the Guayabero River, located in the Serrenia de la Macarena.
The Caño Cristales is commonly known as the “river of five colors” or “the most beautiful river in the world”. It owes this nickname to the plants which, from September to November, give it a green, red and yellow color.
The geological formations of the Caño Cristales River, with sediments and rocks approximately 1.2 billion years old, combined with the abundance of aquatic plants create a unique color.
The Caño Cristales is a torrential river with many waterfalls and rapids.
At several points of its bed we find natural cavities called "devil's pots" formed by the impact of pebbles carried by the current against relatively less hard parts of the bottom.
Once these pebbles fall into one of these cavities, they gradually widen it by spinning driven by the current and banging against its walls.
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Oceanos, oceans of shared fun moments.
Since I dove into the gaming world with you in 2018, I don't regret having taken the plunge into the deep end of gaming makers. ;)
With so many talented authors and creators, we have not finished surfing on an ever more interesting and creative gaming world.
The wave of board games arrived in Vaison a few years ago and many players are joining in the pleasure of the playful ocean.
I personally like playing with you and discovering with you all these new things that are available to us. There are so many innovative and original games to try that one year is not enough... :)
The Cannes International Games Festival allows you to discover part of them in advance so that you can then show them to you in animation and offer them to you in store as soon as they are released.
There hasn't been a single moment in almost 6 years when I haven't enjoyed fun moments and discussions with you all, so thank you!
Thank you for your trust and enthusiasm on a daily basis and for ensuring that in Vaison too, we play the game. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Oceanos!
In Oceanos, play as an expedition captain for 15 to 20 minutes, from 8 years old and 2 to 4 players collect astonishing animal species!
Throughout the game, the player composes his underwater expedition by arranging his exploration cards on three superimposed lines.
Each captain chooses an expedition card and passes them to the other captains who do the same. The exploration cards contain several elements that allow you to score points or improve your submarine.
Each submarine is made up of five elements which improve as you progress through the levels: a thruster, an engine, a cockpit, an aquarium and a diving hatch.
Exploration cards represent the discoveries of expeditions which are either positive (animals, corals, treasures), negative (kraken eyes) or improvements (bases and crystals).
The game is played in 3 rounds of rounds. Each player chooses a color and assembles their submarine with the level pieces, then after placing the diver and fuel tokens, we randomly draw a kraken token for the 3 sizes.
The expedition cards of the round are distributed, then each player receives an exploration card per possessed periscope.
You choose an exploration card to play face down in front of you, then the players place them from left to right on the same line. We will have one line of exploration cards per round. Fuel tokens allow you to keep a card face down for safekeeping.
The diver token allows you to recover the treasures found there and all those on the cards under which they are found on the ascent on a map with a treasure.
To improve your submarine, the crystals placed before the base will determine its level at the end of the round.
You earn points based on the animals collected and the submarine thrusters.
Then we count the Kraken's points with a token. It is the player who has the most on his cards who loses the points associated with the token of the current level.
At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points is the winner.

Los Roques Archipelago (Venezuela)
The Los Roques Archipelago is a federal dependency of Venezuela consisting of approximately 350 islands, cays or islets located approximately 130 km off the Venezuelan coast.
Gran Roque, the main island, is located in the north of the archipelago, 146 km from the small town of Naiguata, on the Venezuelan coast.
This island complex has a population of 1,500 inhabitants.
Due to the presence of a wide variety of seabirds and a very rich aquatic fauna, the government transformed the archipelago into a national park in 1972. It is the Los Roques Archipelago National Park.
The main island is Gran Roque (the big Roc), the only inhabited island and where the airport is located.
Other important islands are Francisqui, Nordisqui and Madrisqui y Crasqui. The archipelago was recognized as a Ramsar site on September 4, 1996.
These islands receive around 58,000 visitors per year, mainly for the day from Caracas.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Without tail or head, resolve the insolvent.
Sometimes we have the impression that certain things cannot be solved. And yet, there is often a solution to be found or an alternative that offers a good compromise.
At the moment we can feel overwhelmed, which is completely normal, then by thinking about it with a clear head, find the beginnings of solutions.
I have already had to end partnerships because the relationship was no longer professional on the applicant's side.
I can make concessions and adjustments to best suit what a partner is asking of me, but as the expression goes “when respect is no longer served, you have to know how to leave the table”…
So I went to sit at other tables, much more welcoming, who see on a daily basis my investment in our partnerships and do not listen to defamatory rumors...
And then there are also these partnerships which stop, due to lack of time, but which are added to other partnerships or become your references without you having to ask. :)
Thank you to all these people who showed me that even in partnerships, mutual respect is necessary to work on healthy foundations and that in the end actions speak more than words...
And above all, thank you to all my partners who make the everyday life of the gaming world a magical moment!
I am very happy that our partnerships continue and allow us to contribute to the development of the board game world in Vaison and its surroundings!
Difficulties shape us much more than when everything works the first time. So thank you all for these daily experiences. :)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Sans queue ni tête!
Place your chameleons for 15 to 20 minutes, from 8 years old and from 2 to 4 players to win the game!
You have to rebuild the chameleons on the table piece by piece and try not to be the color with the most points on any of them.
At the end of a round, the player whose color has the most points on a chameleon will score those points.
Players can score on multiple chameleons at once.
Once a player reaches 32 points, the game is over and the player with the fewest points wins.
A complete game takes place over several turns, a turn is made up of 6 turns, a turn is made up of 3 phases
1.Choose cards Each player secretly selects the card he wishes to play and places it face down on the table.
2. Roll the dice When each player has a face down card in front of them, everyone rolls their die. The player with the lowest score starts. In the event of a tie, tied players reroll their dice until a winner emerges.
3. Playing card The first player reveals his card and plays it. Then, starting with the player to their left, the other players take turns doing the same in a clockwise direction.
Once you start building a chameleon, you need to finish building it by placing cards on it clockwise.
When all players have played, begin the next round by starting again from phase 1.

Hello everyone !
Uyuni Salar (Bolivia)
The Uyuni Salar is a salt flat located in the highlands of southwestern Bolivia. It is near the town of Uyuni, from which it takes its name.
This expanse of salt is located at an altitude of 3,658 meters. With an area of 10,582 km, it constitutes the largest salt desert in the world and represents half of the planet's exploitable lithium reserves. Its dimensions are 150 kilometers by 100.
The disappearance of the prehistoric Lake Tauca, 14,000 years ago, gave birth to the largest salt crust in the world which today covers this salar. As it dried up, it left behind two small lakes still visible, Lake Poopó and Lake Uru Uru, as well as two large salt deserts, the Coipasa salar and the gigantic Uyuni salar.
The thickness of the water rarely exceeds 10 to 15 centimeters. As the salar is flat, it is flooded over its entire surface, making it a gigantic mirror.
A hotel, located in the center of the lake and built entirely of salt, is a curiosity of the place. The coral island of Incahuasi, covered in candelabra cacti, some of which are 1,200 years old, is isolated in this salty desert.
