Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Santo Domingo!
Place your goods and actions for 20 to 30 minutes, from 8 years old and from 2 to 6 players to gain the maximum number of life points!
In Santo Domingo, you must try to make the best possible use of your 8 Action cards.
Each round, players simultaneously choose an Action card.
The cards are then resolved in ascending order. You will therefore have to estimate as best as possible which card your opponents will choose.
Depending on the cards played, you will obtain victory points (VP) (cards 1, 2 and 6) or goods (cards 3, 4 and 5).
The Merchant (card 7) will then allow you to exchange your goods for VPs. The Beggar (card 8) will allow you to regain control of your cards.
The game ends when a player obtains 30 VP. At the end of this round, the player with the most VP wins the game.
A Santo Domingo game takes place over several rounds. Each round is broken down into three phases:
1. Restock
Advance all the markers on the game board a number of spaces depending on the number of players.
2. Play an Action card
Each player chooses one or more Action cards to play for this round: 2 cards during a game with 2 or 3 players and 1 card during a game with 4, 5 or 6 players.
You will find a reminder of the number of playing cards in the upper corners of the game board. The card(s) are placed face down in front of the players.
When all players are ready, all cards are revealed simultaneously.
3. Resolve Action cards
The effect of each card is then applied in ascending order of card values (starting with the Captain, if he has been played). The effects of identical Action cards are applied at the same time (there is no order of play).
The cards played remain visible until the end of the round; they will only be discarded face down once all the cards have been resolved.
All players have the same 8 action cards: Captain, Admiral, Governor, Frigate, Galleon, Customs Officer, Merchant and Beggars.
Depending on the cards, you will receive life points or goods. These can move our hit point slider up or down.
Players who did not play Beggar during this round now discard the cards played into a personal discard pile, face down.
As the rounds progress, these players will have fewer and fewer cards to play, until they play a Beggar which will allow them to take their cards back into their hands.
The game board markers remain where they are for the next round.
If no one has reached 30 VP or more, a new round begins.

Hello everyone !
Rainbow Mountain (Peru)
Vinicunca, nicknamed the “mountain of seven colors” or “rainbow mountain”, is a mountain in Peru. It peaks at an altitude of 5,200 m. It is located in the Cusco region, in the heart of the Andes.
Originally, Winikunka is the Quechua name for this mountain. Wini is a term used to refer to the black stones, which are very numerous in the region, and kunka means “neck”, and refers to the fineness and smallness of this mountain.
According to the investigation by the Landscape Office of the Directorate of Decentralization of Culture of Cusco, the colorations of the seven-colored mountain are due to its mineralogical composition.
The pink is attributable to the mixture of red clay, mud and sand. The whitish color results from the mixture of quartz sand and marl rich in calcium carbonate. The red is composed of ferruginous clays and clays belonging to the Neogene. The green is due to the mixture of phyllites and mafic clays. The earthy brown is produced by the conglomerate of magnesian rocks belonging to the Quaternary era. The mustard yellow is attributable to calcareous sandstones rich in sulphide minerals2.
Many indigenous populations live in small hamlets located in these mountains.
The main inhabitants are Quechuas, who are descendants of the Inca populations.
Originally covered in snow, Vinicunca subsequently suffered from global warming and revealed its colors since 2015. It is a landscape highly protected by local populations.
It is in this landscape that residents breed, particularly llamas, horses and alpacas.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Yum yum island: fun pleasures shared with you all year round.
Since 2018, I have been lucky to enjoy unique fun moments with you throughout the year and I can never thank you enough for that!
Everything started with Mac Donald from Saint Romain en Viennois (thanks to them) who trusted me at the start of the game activities.
And then, little by little, more and more of you asked me for entertainment times and I am very grateful to you.
I followed you with my eyes closed to make the most of it and be able to offer you personalized play times that suit you!
As the name of the store indicates, I didn't just want to offer you attractive prices, I especially wanted to develop game activities around the store.
I am very happy to see players create connections and friendships during the playtime that I offer. This was one of my objectives when proposing playtime: to bring people together.
All the moments that we share with acquaintances, friends, with our loved ones around games and in general are unique and precious moments frozen in time.
As long as I can contribute with my modest little stones to develop the playful world, then my main goal is achieved!
I knew almost 6 years ago, when no one yet believed in it, that there was a receptive audience for board games in Vaison and its surroundings!
I am happy to be able to say that now every day, in Vaison, we play the game! ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Yum Yum Island!
Feed the animals blindly but guided in 20 minutes, from 6 years old and from 2 to 5 players to earn points!
More information: Joulejeuvaison.com
Good day and good game ;)
Yum Yum Island is populated with hungry animals, animals that you and your fellow players must feed before the island giant can take food from you and fill its own belly first.
In the game Yum Yum Island, players take on the role of pelicans trying to feed the animals on the island.
Each animal is represented by a cardboard cutout with a second raised level to identify the animal's mouth.
Inside the mouth are two numbers – one green and one red – which indicate the amount of vegetarian and meat-based food the animal needs to be satisfied.
On their turn, a player first rolls the die to determine the difficulty level of this round, then they put on the blindfold so they cannot see the playing area.
The player collects a certain amount of food from the supply (which contains a mix of red and green tokens), reaches out and tries to place the food into an animal's mouth.
Any food that falls out or does not meet the animal's needs is placed in the giant's intestinal tract.
The die roll can allow other players to give advice (“Move left! Remove your hand!”) or allow the player to collect some food or receive help during the turn.
Blindfolded, let yourself be guided by the other players to feed the animals and give the corresponding number of foods each turn.
But be careful, if you make a mistake and the giant's stomach is full before all the animals on the different islands are fed, the giant wins and all the players lose!
The gourmet islands are yours! Yum, yum!
Good day and good game ;)

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Brazil)
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is a national park in Brazil located in Maranhão.
The park has an area of 1,550 km and is located in the northeast of Maranhão about 270 km from São Luís. The park includes a set of dunes and interdune lagoons.
The Lençóis Maranhenses are certainly the natural jewel of North East Brazil, if not the entire country.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry would certainly have chosen this “desert” for the meeting between the aviator and the Little Prince…
This marvelous white sand desert extends over nearly 155,000 hectares, an infinite and changing landscape of pristine dunes whose particularity is to offer a multitude of freshwater lagoons more than half the year.
With an average temperature close to 30°C throughout the year, this dune landscape suggests an arid environment, subject to a desert climate.
The rainfall is high, close to that of the Amazon forest, between 1400 mm and 1700 mm of precipitation per year and the rainy season mainly extends from December to April.
During this period, water accumulates in the hollows of the dunes and creates a multitude of miraculous lagoons.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Rainforest: after the rain comes the good weather.
To grow, a plant needs sun but also water. The same is true for a business.
It is always rewarding to see a company grow and progress over time, but difficulty allows you to rethink your strategy and strengthen your company.
Difficulties often leave us in the lurch for a moment, but when you care about your business, you find the perfect solution.
And then, the difficulties also allow us to develop in a better way and even to obtain even better than we had anticipated.
Because when everything flows naturally, we might tend to rest on our laurels, while difficulties are sources of reflection and progress...
How ? Because difficulty forces us to step out of our comfort zone by questioning our practices to adapt them even better to what suits us.
When everything goes as planned, we don't think beyond what we had planned, while difficulties, although complex, always allow us to evolve.
Sometimes in the wrong direction, with errors, but these errors are sources of experience and we do not start from scratch; and sometimes in a good way, when we can adapt to the changes made and make them a source of professional and personal enrichment.
I am very happy to have been able to learn and enrich myself from each personal and professional experience and to continue to be able to do so on a daily basis...
Good or bad experience, they teach me on a daily basis how to evolve. There is always something to remember from each one.
So, thank you all for sharing my daily experience ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Rainforest!
Rearrange the species of the jungle in 20 to 30 minutes, from 8 years old and from 2 to 4 players to recreate a cradle of diversity!
In Rainforest, harmoniously arrange your jungle with different types of vegetation and reintroduce the region's emblematic animal species to help their preservation.
On his turn, the player performs two obligatory actions in order:
1 Take the first Jungle tile from a pile then all the Species tokens of a single color or type from the same zone.
2 Distribute the Species tokens collected on your Jungle tiles inwait in its blank zone then validate those which are completed by moving them into its jungle.
The player chooses one of the 5 areas on the board and performs these two steps in order:
He takes the first Jungle tile from the pile and can either place it in one of the spaces in his blank area, or place it back under the pile if he does not want to take it or if he already has 3 tiles in his pile blank area.
Then he must take all the Species tokens of a single color or type of his choice in this same zone. The totem animal assigned to each player at the start of the game will earn them more points.
The player who collects the last Species token in a zone can immediately exchange one of his Species tokens collected during this turn or from his reserve with any Species token from the central board.
If the player creates an area of 3 or 4 tiles of the same color connected and the two Protected Area tokens of the color are available for the game, the player can immediately recover the token of 3 or 4 tiles.
A player can only have one Protected Area token per color.
The player places the Protected Area token on one of the tiles of their choice in the connected area in question.
If the player combines the 5 colors in his jungle, he collects the Balance token and places it on the tile of the 5th color. A player can only have one Balance token.
If a player has more Species tokens than he can store in his reserve (limited to 2), he must discard the excess into the bag.
He manages his reserve as he wishes: he can discard tokens reserved for previous rounds to store new ones collected this round.
When a player validates their 9th Jungle tile, they trigger the end of the game. The players complete the round of the table until they return to the player who has the Binoculars token, so that everyone has played the same number of rounds. They then move on to counting points.
Each Jungle tile validated in the jungle earns the number of points indicated on it, the Totem Species tokens, protected area and the balance tokens add or multiply the additional points.
The player who obtains the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie, the players share the victory.
Will you manage to make your jungle a cradle of diversity?
Good day and good game ;)

Iguazu Falls (Argentina)
Iguazú Falls comes from the guarani: y (“water”) and guasu (“great”), literally “the great waters”.
Located in the middle of the tropical forest, on the border between Argentina (80%) and Brazil (20%), national parks have been created.
This set of 275 waterfalls forming a front of approximately three kilometers. All of the waterfalls discharge up to six million liters of water per second.
Due to the drought affecting southern Brazil during the summer of 2021, the volume of water in Iguazú Falls is reduced by 80% compared to normal.
The highest of them, the Garganta del Diablo reaches 80 m in height.
They are among the most impressive in the world.
They were the scene of films such as Furia in Bahia for OSS 117 (1965), Moonraker, film from the James Bond series (1979), Miami Vice: Two Cops in Miami (2006), One Day on Earth (2007), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), OSS 117: Rio No Longer Responds (2009) or even Black Panther by Ryan Coogler (2018).

Captain’s war: always on deck in good times and bad.
In everyday life, there are good times and bad times, business is no exception.
In almost 6 years of existence, I have been affected by Covid, inflation and slander.
Covid has allowed me better daily organization and a better balance between professional and personal lives.
The inflation of offering an even more scalable and varied range of games, to adapt even better to you who have been with me since the beginning or joined me along the way.
And the backbiting armored me as a trader from a large family of Vaisonnais traders had advised me. Thank you :)
I am still very lucky to have this ability to know how to absorb everything that is negative in order to ultimately be able to draw something positive from it. And that’s a real chance!
I am not and will never be stopped by the bad elements that confront me, quite the contrary; they are all the more important drivers of evolution and readjustment.
In almost 6 years of existence, I have been delighted to develop an entertainment offering that suits you, to offer you special games and to grow and expand the store.
The lively moments that I share with you all delight me as much as each other, because you are all unique and that’s great. Thank you for these moments. ;)
The classics and well-known games are excellent, but I like to introduce you to lesser-known fun nuggets, thank you for trusting me and playing the game. ;)
Since June 2018, I have evolved a lot and made the store evolve. I am proud of what I offer you on a daily basis, even if I must admit that I sacrifice myself to test games... I do it with pleasure as a curious serial gamer and even more for you, to be able to present them to you or make them play ;)
I have always been on deck to bring my modest chest of playful treasures and I will continue to be there through thick and thin by holding the helm firmly!
My primary goal is and will always remain: to share with you my passion for board games.

In the game Captain's War, you play as pirate captains in search of reputation.
Accumulate resources and gold and adorn yourself with attributes worthy of a legend of the 7 seas! Upgrade your boat and attack your rivals to weaken them before the final battle.
The most famous pirate at the end of the game will be declared the winner!
The game takes place in 3 stages:
1. ROLL: ROLL THE DICE!
The active player rolls the dice, discards 1, then everyone chooses two outcomes to expand.
2. WRITE: WRITE!
Once your Resources and Gold Coins have been recovered, spend them on the Attributes of a captain or a new Ship. And don't forget to recruit Pirates into your crew!
3. ATTACK: ATTACK YOUR OPPONENTS!
At the end of the turn, when all the pirates have made their resource choices, their acquisitions and their advances, the active player can trigger a boarding attack.
It's up to you to find the balance and not fall into the bluffers' traps!
ADVENTURE AND EXPERT MODES.
The Captains’ War box allows you to play an adventure for 2 to 6 players! To do this, you will need to open the sealed package and follow the instructions.

These modules will be added to your main sheet to offer you new gaming sensations.
Enough to offer great replayability and an expert mode to players who have experienced the classic game mode!
SINGLE-player mode.
The Captains’ War box will allow you to play in single-player mode! This game mode requires the use of the 4 legendary Captains cards available in the sealed deck present in the box.

Atacama Desert (Chile)
Blocked between the ocean trench and the Andes mountain range, the Atacama Desert is known to be one of the driest regions on Earth.
Certain areas can in fact be completely deprived of precipitation for more than 50 years.
This natural barrier is made up of active volcanoes reaching 6,000 meters, surrounded by turquoise lagoons, geysers and deep valleys.
The Atacama Desert is renowned for its starry nights due to its location in the intertropical zone, combining extreme drought, altitude and very little light pollution.
Several international astronomical observatories have been established in this “extraterrestrial” desert where NASA tested small vehicles before they went to explore Mars.
The four-wheeled robot called Zoë found colonies of bacteria and lichens on two distinct sites in this desert, which nevertheless has the lowest density of organic activity on Earth.

In JJV's Offs
Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Costa Ruana: put your pawns in place and readjust your plans.
At the heart of an independent boutique, there are moments simpler than others.
I like to have strategies to develop the store and sustain partnerships that contribute to the development of the gaming world in Vaison and its surroundings.
It is more important to me to develop the gaming world on my modest scale of a small shop, than to obtain any personal merits.
I only compete with myself, and no one else, to make whatever contribution I think makes sense to the gaming world.
For me, a board game is a unique moment that we share with people we like. It is much more than a simple box, simple pawns, simple dice or simple cards.
When you enjoy playing board games and you think back to a game you played, you remember the people you played with, the emotions you felt or made people feel while playing, and a unique moment suspended in time.
Putting boxes on a table, not for me... My players know very well that if I put a game on a table, it's to open it and play with them...
And then there are other moments, less simple, where you have to know how to play against an unfavorable hand...
Being taken for what you are not in playing the werewolf of Thiercellieux, for example, is nice, it can help you win a game...
Being taken for what you are not in real life, "by competition" for example, is less pleasant, and it doesn't serve much purpose except to show your double game to the eyes of all…
In real life, as in games, knowing how to win is good, but learning when you lose is even better...
In real life I play fair and I can look at myself in the mirror without flinching and sleep with a clear conscience.
In a werewolf I would be the witch who, in the shadows and in silence, can end or continue a game.
In both cases, I wouldn't play the part where the dice are loaded and we don't play the game!

In 2 words game
Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Costa Ruana!
Collect treasures with your tribes for 20 to 60 minutes, from 8 years old and from 2 to 6 players to score as many points as possible!
In Costa Ruana, you are a tribal leader. Send your natives to neighboring islands to get your hands on more pirate treasure than your rivals.
If you become a shaman, your decisions affect events, so your rivals will try to influence you through fair or foul means...
Your goal is to score the most points by having treasures in your cabin and natives in your stash at the end of the fifth round.
Treasures are the key: each turn, you collect one on each island on which your tribe is in the majority (or minority, if other tribes are tied there).
Cards allow you to move treasure, place natives on islands, bring them home, or move them between islands.
Each turn, everyone plays a face-up card in front of any player (including themselves), followed by another face-down card (also in front of anyone).
Finally, you can place a native on any card played, even a hidden card played by an opponent, if you are very daring! — to copy its effect for yourself.
The background of each card is four colors, but in each round only two-color cards will be resolved, affecting the players they are played in front of.
The shaman determines these colors by turning over one of the two condition cards. If you are the shaman, use your power to the best of your ability; otherwise, try to guess others or influence the shaman.
Memorize the number of treasures in other players' cabins and carefully manage your natives: a few points can make the difference!
Intriguing, double riddles and bluffs: welcome to Costa Ruana!

Mount Roraima (Venezuela)
Mount Roraima is a mountain in South America shared between Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela.
Discovered and explored late in the 19th century, Mount Roraima was not climbed until 1884 by a British expedition.
An account of one of these expeditions largely inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write his adventure novel The Lost World in 1912.
Its highlight is the Maverick Stone. Inside the plateau there are numerous caves and chasms.
The watercourses which run through the plateau and which do not escape directly in the form of waterfalls end up disappearing into the rock through the network of caves
This water which flows from Mount Roraima in the form of waterfalls, such as Salto Roraima, or underground gives rise to numerous streams at its feet, some temporary, others permanent.
To the east of the mountain is the source of the Rio Cotingo, a river flowing into Brazil and a sub-tributary of the Amazon.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
Trial of the temples: building your store stone by stone.
As we build a building with time and experience, I am moving the store forward stone by stone.
There are stones that hold in place and then others that we must abandon along the way to make the most judicious choices and allow our temple to stand.
A broken or poorly balanced stone does not provide lasting balance when you want to build over time.
We then put strategies in place and make sure to place the right elements in them to progress gradually.
Sometimes we lose a little along the way, but we realize that what we lost brings us something even better.
When an investment strategy does not work, we must start from this experience to try a more constructive strategy.
I am very happy to have developed certain partnerships, even if they stopped, they were very enriching.
So, thank you to these game libraries, associations, structures or individuals who helped me understand where I was making a mistake.
From my mistakes, I learn and progress with more wisdom than before.
Thank you for showing me another point of view and allowing me to develop the store and the activities on a solid base.
All these people who have contributed and have been contributing for years now to enrich my playful temple will recognize themselves.
I am very happy to share these daily challenges with you and I will continue to change my strategy if it is not in line with what I intend to bring as a modest playful contribution on my part.
Thank you to everyone who makes my ludical temple a place of sharing, passion and of course games. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about the Trial of the Temples!
You will be put to the test for 30 to 60 minutes, from 14 years old and 2 to 4 players to become the best adventurer!
The game offers you a challenge based on choice of placement and ability to adapt.
Game situations will very often lead players to have to answer this question:
“Is it better for me to place myself in a certain place to accumulate resources or is it better for me to position myself here to prevent the development of other players?
“Similarly, decisions made by other players can upset your turn strategy and force you to improvise a new one on the fly.
During the game, players accumulate Power Cubes which will allow them to unlock spells in their Grimoire; some provide immediate bonuses, others are more long-term oriented.
Here again, it is a matter of choice and this “personalization” aspect allows you to opt for several game strategies.
As is often the case in games developed by Emperor S4, the Trial of the Temples offers a game with simple mechanics to learn but which offer a rich gaming experience conducive to twists and turns!
The game works on a principle of accumulation of Victory Points: at the end of the game, the player who has collected the most wins.
A complete game takes place in 5 turns maximum but can end sooner depending on the players' actions!
Pay attention to the actions of others because some may want to end the game faster than you want!
In summary, the Temples test offers, in a package of simple rules and an interesting aesthetic, a game combining reflection, planning and adaptation and the slightest decision (of placement or development) has consequences.
To discover and savor!
Good day and good game ;)

Machu Picchu (Peru)
Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city from the 15th century in Peru. The 172 buildings extend approximately 530 meters long and 200 meters wide.
At 2,438 meters above sea level, the ruins straddle the ridge between two peaks: Huayna Picchu, meaning “young mountain” and Machu Picchu, meaning “old mountain” in Quechua.
A masterpiece of Inca architecture, it was abandoned before its construction was completed during the collapse of the Inca Empire. A sacred city forgotten for centuries, the site is said to have hosted the emperor Pachacútec.
It is Huayna Picchu which overlooks the site and which can be seen in most photographs of the city.
Around Huayna Picchu and on both sides of the city flows the Vilcanota-Urubamba river which describes a large arc below a 600 meter cliff.

Hello everyone !
Torres del Paine National Park (Chile)
Torres del Paine National Park is a national park in Chile located between the Andes mountain range and the Patagonian steppe.
Between 3.5 million years ago and 14,000 years ago, glaciations shaped the landscape to remove the upper layers of rock and give the park its current appearance.
Covering an area of 181,414 hectares, its main function is the conservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species and genetic diversity of the Paine massif.
Its surface is characterized by its landscape heterogeneity, where mountains, glaciers, valleys, ponds and large lakes converge.
It takes its name from three emblematic granite formations of the del Paine massif: the Torres (Towers) del Paine.
12 million years ago, in the Miocene, the northward movement of the boundary between the Antarctic plate and the Nazca plate caused the intrusion of a 10 km by 20 km laccolith with a thickness of 2,000 mr.
This intrusion created the heart of the Paine massif. The territory also has some small, older intrusions dating from 29 million years ago.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “Offs du JJV”!
The magic of board games.
Entering the immersive world of board games is rediscovering the simple joys of gathering around a table.
From the laughter that erupts during a round of bluffing, the friendly competition that fuels strategic battles, or the suspenseful anticipation of a surprising twist, they foster a sense of togetherness and lasting memories.
Board games have evolved considerably over time.
They can emphasize strategy and resource management or encourage collaboration and teamwork.
With such a wide range of choices, there's a board game for everyone, making it an inclusive and accessible form of entertainment.
Physically manipulating playing pieces, rolling dice and shuffling cards engages our senses and stimulates cognitive functions.
Board games offer face-to-face interaction, eye contact, and the ability to read facial expressions and body language.
These social elements help improve communication skills, empathy and the development of emotional intelligence.
Beyond their entertainment value, many games promote critical thinking, problem solving, and strategic planning.
Players must analyze complex situations, make decisions and adapt to changing circumstances.
Additionally, games often incorporate themed elements that introduce players to historical events, scientific concepts, or cultural phenomena, making learning an engaging and immersive experience.
Online platforms provide virtual gaming experiences, connecting individuals from different parts of the world.
Board game conventions and get-togethers create spaces where enthusiasts can share their love for the hobby, discover new games, and forge friendships.
Digital integration, companion apps, and augmented reality have expanded gameplay possibilities, enhancing immersion without losing the charm of physical components.
Additionally, crowdfunding platforms have allowed independent designers to bring their creative visions to life, driving a wave of unique and unconventional games that push the boundaries of what a board game can be.
Board games provide respite, reminding us of the joy of human connection and the thrill of shared experiences.
They bridge the generation gap, promote social interaction, and provide a tangible and immersive entertainment option.
So gather your friends, and let the magic of board games transport you to a world of fun, laughter and unforgettable memories.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Baf!
Brave heroes, from 3 to 5 players for 20 minutes, defeat the monsters to win!
In Baf, players are adventurers rushing through a perilous dungeon to root out evil, earning coins, and upgrading their abilities along the way. After three levels (with three monster towers in each level), they face the Dungeon Lord and the Dragon.
Each player has two heroes, one for their right hand and one for their left hand.
Players simultaneously reveal two dungeon maps each and quickly get their hands on the maps they want their heroes to fight.
If you win, you claim the card as loot or gear that increases your hero's abilities.
Equipment cards are placed partially below your hero card, with the ability symbol sticking out.
This way, the four different types of abilities – Melee, Ranged, Magic, and Stealth – are built in one direction each, starting from your hero.
For particularly strong monsters, your heroes can combine their power by hitting the monster with both of your hands.
Each player controls 2 brave heroes who have joined a party of adventurers.
They go together to explore a dangerous dungeon on 3 floors.
At each round reveal the monsters of the turn then quickly slap them to get rid of them and strip them of their powers and treasures.
But don't get the wrong hand because each one represents a hero with his strengths and weaknesses!
It might just be the monster slapping you!
Good day and good game ;)
