Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“We are more likely to turn towards the rising sun than the setting sun.”
We all love these games that bring us together and that everyone knows, because almost all of us know how to play them.
Because these games are reassuring and sure values that appeal to a large majority.
But there are also fun nuggets that we didn't expect and which arrive and surprise us with their accessibility and their incredible playability and replayability.
I have also chosen to offer you games in the store, but not only that... You will also find lesser-known games, but just as good as the others, because they offer a new approach.
During the Golden Aces and the International Games Festival in Cannes, the games benefit from the effect of the rising sun and are highlighted there.
In the setting sun, when you are very curious, you can also discover beautiful, playful nuggets that are not as highlighted.
These games from small publishers which do not benefit from the optimal light of a large distribution house but which offer playful wonders.
As you may already know, I am a curious serial gamer long before being the manager of my little store.
So, for me, little fun nuggets like for example Hive by Ludidistri and other wonders that go unnoticed always interest me…
So if you want to join the game enthusiasts who come to discover these fun nuggets from me and the other independents who offer them, you are always welcome. ;)

Today we are going to talk about Venice!
In Venice, ride on stilts, for 2 to 4 players for 45 minutes from 10 years old, to collect all the precious stones!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
In Venice, we go in search of precious stones in the heart of the city before the other players by going from piling to piling.
To reach the gems you have to find the best path in this maze.
To do this, you play cards. They allow you to place, remove, move boards and also move forward 1, 2 or 3 steps.
You can take advantage of the boards placed by your opponents to go faster. You will have to keep an eye on them, they could remove boards from under your nose.
When you arrive at the square where one of your stones is located, take it and place it on your tent, then continue your turn.
Play cards within the limit of 4 hourglasses or take a joker card. Then draw 2 cards.
If you have more than 8 cards in hand, discard the ones of your choice. Place them on the location as well as the cards played face up.
When there are no more cards in the draw pile, shuffle those already played to form a new one.
When you collect one of your precious stones, you gain an hourglass tile. It can be played immediately or during a next turn, it can be combined.
On the turn where you use hourglass tiles, you can play cards up to the limit of 4 hourglasses + 1 per tile.
During your turn, you can also exchange 4 cards of your choice for a joker that you can play immediately.
This is particularly useful when you need a specific card or when you end your turn with more than 8 cards.
Moving from one plank to another plank counts as a step, just like moving from one plank to a stilt or vice versa.
ē
Several pawns can cross paths and be on the same board or the same stilt.
Place a joker, it replaces any card, at your convenience. You cannot have more than 2 jokers in your hand. Once played, return it to the joker pile.
The board has a second side which allows you to play in the heart of Venice at night and offers two additional stilts to open new paths.

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Once the game is over, the king and the pawn are both placed in the same box. »
When the game ends, all the game pieces return to the box. At that moment, they are all on an equal footing, but before they all participated in a more or less calm game.
We do not necessarily have the same game or the same hand at our disposal. But knowing how to use an unfavorable hand to learn its weaknesses and make an experience of it is a great feat.
Starting from a position of strength is not always a guarantee of a winning game. Depending on the cards or pawns that appear during the round, the course of the game can change at any time.
Just as a failure does not necessarily leave us checkmate, whether we place our pawns well or not, sooner or later we end up learning from our mistakes.
The trump card will not always be in our favor, but by combining our positive and negative experiences we end up finding the combo that suits us.
I didn't start from an easy life, people put obstacles in my way and they continue to put obstacles in my way even today, but I would never take the hand of returning the medal.
In the end, failures, if we want to continue to believe in them, learn from our mistakes and be comforted by our successes, it is already a victory.
And at the end of the game, once the pawns and kings are placed together in the same box, what will remain above all with us is the memory of the games and moments that we shared with those who mattered most to us….

Today we are going to talk about the Huitstitis Mariachis!
In Huit’stitis Mariachis, it’s going to be swinging, from 3 to 7 players for 15 minutes from 5 years old, to bring together the mariachi group!
You have to bring together eight mariachi marmosets, each playing a different instrument.
The first group thus formed will be able to tour the world and escape the hunters!
A master of the game is appointed. His role will be to draw the cards and arbitrate between the players in case of doubt.
If the game master cannot find out who won a card, he places it back at random in the pile.
It is not possible to play and be master of the game in the same game. If there are only two players, an adult can be asked to play this role.
Between 2 and 3 players, 4 marmosets are removed from each instrument. These cards are put aside for the entire game.
The game master draws the cards and presents them one after the other to the players.
If it is a “musician” card: the first player to imitate the musician on the card while saying the name of his instrument wins it. He then places the card in front of him, face up.
A player can win the same “musician” card several times, he then places it on similar cards in his game. This can allow him to block his opponents!
If it is a hunter card: the first player to make marmoset cries while scratching his head wins the card.
He can then choose a card of his choice from the game of one of his opponents.
The hunter card drawn is then put aside for the entire game.
The game ends when a player has collected eight different mariachi marmosets: one for each instrument.

“Happiness is a habit to cultivate. »
Since I started the store, 6 years ago now, I always enjoy it every day.
I like to share these moments around board games with you, because beyond just playing a game, we share a unique moment.
I enjoy spending quality time playing board games every day and our discussions at the same time warm my heart.
These moments always teach me more about you and open me up to other life experiences, which for me is always enriching.
I try every day to see the bright side of things as much as possible, even if life doesn't always have good sides. Things won't get better if you think everything will go wrong.
It’s as if we wanted to run a race, but said we didn’t want to try because we would surely lose; when we have already lost since we did not want to try...
And believe me I am not spared from difficulties, but if we do not learn from all these experiences that life offers us then we remain in a position of perpetual waiting.
Happiness can be cultivated and through habit, we manage to see the experience that the bad trials we go through also offer us…
I learned to take a step back to allow the store to develop and offer you new things every day.
Ultimately, the mean things done against my store to demean it only strengthened it even more than before!
So thank you to all those people who say no, who put obstacles in the way, who belittle my store because you allow it to continue to progress even more than I had planned to do myself^^.
I plan to continue to mostly see the positive side of things, because that's the person I am and what benefits my store the most.

Today we are going to talk about French Tour!
In French Tour, let's explore France, from 2 to 6 players for 20 minutes from 7 years old, and win the most cards!
In French Tour we will try to find where the places are located using clues from objective maps.
We separate the piles of face-down cards into three piles, yellow, green and blue, then we choose one of the piles.
The cards are then distributed among the players. Each player then looks to see if they have pairs composing a panorama of a monument or known place in France.
They then remove the pairs and place them face up in front of them on the table.
The player to the dealer's right then presents his face-down deck of cards to his neighbor, who takes one at random.
If the new card drawn allows you to compose a new pair, you also place it face up in front of you on the table.
All players proceed in the same way until only the “intruder” card remains, the sand rose.
Players then count 1 point per pair won. Then they keep the won pairs face up in front of them.
We then place the map of France in the center of the table and then challenge the other players to find on the map the places indicated on their pairs of cards.
The challenged player must find on the map of France in 20 seconds where the place concerned by these maps is located.
If the player succeeds, he gains an additional point. If he makes a mistake, he gives his pair of cards to the player who challenged him.
The game ends when all players have played their pairs.
The player with the most points at the end of both phases of play wins the game.

“It is by stumbling that we learn to walk. »
Like when we are children, when learning to walk we stumble very often, and yet, that does not stop us from getting up and continuing to learn to walk...
I have failed at certain things in the past. I think, for example, of keeping calm in the face of provocative people to annoy us.
I never insulted them, but yes I got momentarily angry, because I thought at the time that we always had to protect ourselves…
Then, over time, I realized that calm and ignoring provocation or denigration were much more comforting than wanting to be right at all costs.
Defending yourself against people who only see problems where there are solutions is often useless, because they will find other problems in the solutions that we have found again...
I decided to move forward and not dwell on when will we say about people who are determined to judge me without even trying to know me…
However, I wanted to apologize to the people to whom I was able to respond curtly when they insulted me or openly disrespected me...
Not for them, but for me, because they clearly had no business disrespecting or insulting me... But I shouldn't have wasted time giving them importance...
I nevertheless thank these people who allowed me to question myself and progress towards a better version of myself, more serene and determined to continue to develop my store in a lasting way...
And above all, thank you to all those people who, on a daily basis, support me, believe in my playful project and with whom I share with joy and pleasure the most beautiful things the gaming world has to offer. ;)

Today we are going to talk about Patouche!
In Patouche, be the best shepherd, from 3 to 5 players for 15 minutes from 7 years old, but watch out for the wolf who prowls!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
In Patou'che, each player plays a shepherd who dreams of having the largest flock of sheep.
But watch out for the wolf on the prowl!
He also likes sheep, and as they are afraid of him, they run away! To prevent their sheep from getting lost in the mountains, players can count on their faithful shepherd dogs: the patous.
At the start of the game, we sort the Sheep cards and the Patou cards into 2 separate piles, yellow border face up; then we place them in the center of the table.
A player receives the 3 dice and places the Wolf token on the yellow side in front of him. This player can roll the dice up to 3 times. He is obliged to keep at least 1 die after each throw.
A saved die cannot be re-rolled. Once the result of the dice suits the player, or after 3 rolls maximum, the action of each die is applied.
Then comes the next player's turn in clockwise order.
On the wolf side of the die, it moves one player to the left. This player discards as many Sheep cards not protected by a Patou card as the number of Wolves on the dice.
The cards thus discarded are put back under the deck of Sheep cards.
On the Patou side, the player takes as many Patou cards as the number of Patous visible on the dice and places them in front of him, either below a Sheep card already present, or next to another Patou card. there are no Sheep cards to protect.
If the deck of Patou cards is empty, they are taken from one of the players who has the most.
On the sheep side, the player takes as many Sheep cards as the number of Sheep visible on the dice, and places them in front of him, either above a Patou card already present to be protected, or next to the other Sheep cards already present in front of the player.
The cards are added to the right in the continuity of the fresco: the Sheep at the top, the Patous below.
As soon as a player has 6 Sheep cards, each of the other players plays again one last time.
The player with the most Sheep cards is declared the winner.
A variant allows more developed games with Patous effects and more possible dice rules, but also cooperative games!

If I didn't have the ambition to share with you the world of gaming and what makes it unique and sometimes improbable to surprising, I wouldn't have opened the store.
Sharing my passion for board games with you means sharing my playful and passionately curious side.

I love each year that passes, building with you and seeing a fun world of endless imagination and talent evolve, it’s just great!
Without this love of games, I would no longer be here to offer you unique fun nuggets that suit you...
The playful world shines and enriches us with unique and timeless moments every day and that's why I decided to do what I do, play and make you play!

Today we’re going to talk about Poule Poule!
In Poule Poule, be the fastest and observant, with 2 to 8 players for 20 minutes from 8 years old, and replenish the egg to earn points!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
It's the Cannes Film Festival and the premiere of the film Poule Poule is turning into drama.
In fact, a little less than an hour before the screening, that clumsy Waf mixed up all the films!
To help Cocotte, who doesn't have a minute to lose, and to prevent Crack from breaking down for good, we must reconstruct the film as quickly as possible!
And don't forget, the story ends with the fifth egg!
A player will stack the cards, one by one, on top of each other in the center of the table. Once placed, these cards will compose the Film. Meanwhile, the other players will just have to count the eggs!
When an egg arrives in the film, it is an available egg. When a hen arrives in the film, she incubates the egg and it is no longer available. Only a fox chases away the hen and makes the egg available again.
The fastest player to tap the film, as soon as it has at least 5 eggs available, scores 1 point
(a point is represented by a section of colored egg). And here we go for a new round!
The first player to reach 3 points - who has pieced together a complete colored egg - wins the game.
When a player taps on the film, the others can choose not to question his word, and tap above his hand, or not tap, to contradict him.
In the latter case, only, we look at the slow motion. We collect the film pile - taking care not to mix any cards - we turn it over, then, card by card, starting with the one on top (the first card played in the round), replay the film again in slow motion ...
We can then add other characters like:
- Roger the farmer, who collects all the eggs laid in the film and leaves.
- Waf the dog, chases away the foxes and the chickens can continue to brood. He then leaves with the fox.
- Grrr the fox disguised as a chicken, who scares away the chickens without being chased away by Waf the dog.
- Quack the duck, which makes the player say “Quack” as soon as he passes and “Quack quack” to the second player. Players who do not say “coin” can have a pledge.
- Tigerworm the earthworm, which attracts the hen and makes it leave a hatched egg.
- Double the ostrich egg, which counts as 2 eggs and which the hen cannot hatch, but which the farmer can collect.
- Rico coco the rooster, which ends the game and the players must announce the number of available eggs present in the packet.
When a player reaches 3 points, he wins the game. If several players reach 3 points at the same time, they do one last round between them.
The first to be the only one to score a point is the winner.

Verdon Gorge
The Verdon gorges, Verdon canyon or Grand Canyon are a set of gorges in France located in Provence, between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Var.
Dug out by the Verdon in the middle of its course, they separate the Castellane Prealps to the south from the Digne Prealps to the north, forming a narrow valley 25 kilometers long and reaching up to 700 meters deep.
Very quickly, the Verdon is enclosed between reliefs which exceed 1,500 meters in altitude while the bed of the river is at an altitude of 630 meters upstream and 510 meters downstream.
Its narrowness and depth - from 250 to 700 meters deep by 6 to 100 meters wide in the bed of the river and 200 to 1,500 meters wide from one slope to the other at the top of the gorges - have made the international reputation of the canyon.

I have never been afraid of discovering new people, because I believe that we all have something to discover and learn from each other…
During the outdoor events, for example, I had the great experience of meeting extraordinary people through their open-mindedness and their joy of living!
I think in particular of my Sereno players, with whom I enjoy chatting and joking while we play.
I also think of the Fada team, teamalia, Adamo, bossnlite and all those that I cannot name but who remain in my memory and my daily life for my greatest pleasure. ;)
Thank you to those who also went a long way with me, Mac Donald de Saint Romain, Mistigri, the Ludovores, Ludica Romana, and who fortunately continued to progress in their own way. :)
I find that we discover even more about the people we meet through board games.
The game remains quite revealing of characters, just as much as a good conversation, as shared music or books...
So I am very happy on a daily basis to have found and continue to meet strangers who have often become acquaintances, friends quite often and always great encounters!

Today we're going to talk about Lady Richmond getting fleeced!
In Lady Richmond Gets Plucked, be the most cunning, 2 to 5 players for 20 to 30 minutes from 8 years old, and recover Lady Richmond's legacy!
More info: https://www.jouelejeuvaison.com/blog
Good day and good game ;)
Tension is at its height in the Wetherby auction house. Lady Richmond suddenly died in the arms of her young lover, Jacques Monétaire.
During a hectic auction, the heirs try to acquire the best lots of the estate and leave the uninteresting items to their rivals.
To achieve this, there is no fair play: they cheat, they swap lots, and they even borrow money from another heir.
Whoever manages to navigate these hectic auctions, by betting their money intelligently, will ultimately succeed in securing the most beautiful pieces and emerge victorious from these tumultuous and crazy auctions.
Each player chooses a character and places the 3 scam tiles in their image (cheating, exchange, borrowing) face up in front of them. Each player also receives 10 coins for their personal supply.
A player turns over a card of their choice on the game board so that everyone can see it clearly.
Each time a card is turned over on the game board, each player can choose to open a bid.
To do this, he must seize the auction block. All face up cards are included in the offer.
If no one wants to make a bid, we continue until a player makes a bid
To make a bid, you collect the auction tile first. We make a first offer with the number of corresponding pieces.
Each player can then outbid or pass. If no player wants to bid again, the auction ends and the one who made the best offer wins the lot and places the cards face down in front of him. The other players collect their pieces.
The auctioneer may order:
- pauses, we then move on to the next player,
-change the cards face up to remove them and put them in the discard pile,
-payday, all players receive the missing number of coins to reach 10. If a player has more than 10 coins, he must return the excess.
-liquidation, all face up and face down cards are part of the auction. If no one takes it, the next card placed ends the auction.
The heirs can with the action tiles:
- cheat: you secretly look at two cards of your choice one after the other among those that are face down on the game board. Then put them back face down.
- exchange: this tile allows you to exchange one of the cards already acquired at auction for a card from the game board.
The game ends when all cards have been auctioned or placed in the discard pile and when the draw pile is empty.
Now count the points of your item cards by subtracting the negative points. The player with the most points wins the largest share of Lady Richmond's inheritance.
In the event of a tie, the player with the most items in a single category (e.g. largest collection of stuffed animals) will be declared the winner.

Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is, with its altitude of 4,478 meters, the 12th highest peak in the Alps. It is located on the Italian-Swiss border, between the canton of Valais and the Aosta Valley.
The Matterhorn is the best-known mountain in Switzerland, particularly for the pyramidal appearance it offers from the town of Zermatt, in the German-speaking part of the canton of Valais.
His image is regularly used for the logos of brands such as Toblerone or Ricola.
The Matterhorn has two distinct peaks at the ends of a 100m rocky ridgeline which marks the border and watershed between Switzerland and Italy.
If the Matterhorn is the highest point of Valtournenche in the south, it is exceeded in the north by four summits which surround it: the Weisshorn (4,506 m), the Dom des Mischabel (4,545 m), Monte Rosa (4,634 m ) and the Liskamm (4,527 m).

“When there is room in the heart, there is room in the house. »
I am always keen to introduce you to the world of board games, because we share many convivial moments there.
And then, as I always say, the more we play games, the more we laugh. ;)
Having unique conversations and moments around board games with you is as good a time for me as it is for you.
Offering you classic games to the most original is also a way for me to open up as you open up to me.
Games have held a special place in my heart since I was little. From my first battle at my grandparents' house to all our daily active games, I never tire of playing and even more so with you!
My favorite board game is sharing it with you in Vaison and elsewhere. My favorite roll of the dice is opening the store. My favorite pawns are the ones that I install and move with you in the heart of the store and outside on a daily basis.
There is room in my heart, like in the store, for beautiful future moments with you! ;)
I look forward to sharing new discussions and games around board games, because these moments teach us a lot about each other.
I am therefore keen to continue to offer you the most beautiful things about the gaming world, its diversity of games and its conviviality.
I plan to stay in the game to continue the game with you! Let's play ;)

Today we are going to talk about Aurignac!
In Aurignac, develop your civilization, from 1 to 5 players for 90 minutes from 12 years old, to evolve into prehistory!
Aurignac is an asymmetrical game in which you can play three roles with different mechanics.
Neanderthals will lead a clan and attempt to found new tribes and Sapiens will use their knowledge to create art.
Across the Aurignac valley, they will have to adapt and survive the different seasons and the harshness of Mother Nature who, for her part, will try to get rid of these future... Humans!
Based on a deck-building mechanic, Sapiens moves from territory to territory to hunt, collect or attack tribes.
He uses his resources to complete 3 masterpieces before the end of the 10th season and leave his signature for future generations.
Using a worker placement mechanism, Neanderthal moves, hunts, collects or attacks tribes.
He uses his resources to found 7 tribes before the end of the 10th season and thus fight against his inevitable extinction.
On a hand management mechanism, Mother Nature places resources and watches over her herds.
She chooses the climatic conditions of each season, uses her cards to react to the actions of the tribes and trigger events.
All this to prevent the Sapiens and Neanderthals from achieving their goal before the end of the 10th season.

“Prudence does not prevent all misfortunes, but lack of prudence never fails to attract them. »
With the covid crisis we have all seen our situations weakened…
It was then necessary to develop other strategies to continue to keep businesses running.
Within the store, as soon as we knew that by disinfecting we could continue to sell even online and by takeaway, I immediately relaunched sales on the site by following the necessary actions for the safety of my customers and Click and Collect for my customers in Vaison and the surrounding area.
At the same time, to continue to offer you supports and continue this link around the games that we have, I have increased the publications on social networks.
I couldn't see myself waiting for time to pass and seeing if the store would hold up if I sat idly by waiting for the crisis to pass.
So I took matters into my own hands by offering you advice by telephone, email and social networks to find the fun nuggets which I hope will help bring you some happy moments with family and friends.
After a normal games festival in 2020, we had to adapt to this crisis and its consequences on our everyday lives.
Games were “non-essential”, like many other areas, and the empty store all day is what weighed on me the most during this crisis regarding my store…
I was very happy to be able to find you, even masked, at the store and at outdoor events.
Moreover, covid has made outdoor events much more attractive than in-store events. It’s completely understandable after what we’ve been through…
I had carefully planned what I needed to survive the crisis, which allowed me to cope and continue to share my passion for board games with you.
And then, I was lucky (and I still am) to have a golden clientele like you, who continued and continues to believe in my store.
So thank you all!

Today we are going to talk about the 20th century!
In the 20th century, develop your country, from 3 to 5 players for 90 minutes from 12 years old, to be the most prosperous country!
The urbanization of your country is up to you
A game includes six turns during which you oversee the urbanization of your country.
Some territories produce income, others scientific research, still others improve the quality of life.
Research allows you to discover new technologies that will shape the way your country develops.
Science can also help you avoid ecological disasters.
At the end of each round, your territories produce the money and research you will need to complete the challenges of the next round.
You accumulate victory points each round based on your country's quality of life.
At the end of the second and fourth rounds, you also earn additional points based on certain aspects of your country's development.
At the end of the sixth round, you score additional points based on your country's income, research, and environmental value.
A game consists of five full rounds and an abbreviated sixth round. Each round has six phases:
• Set up
• Territory Auction (and Technology Purchase)
• Disaster Prevention
• Consolidation (and Use of Technology)
• Production (and Recycling)
• Obtaining Bonuses (after rounds two, four and six)
Rounds one, three and five have no phase
of Obtaining Bonuses (even if it is always possible to
score victory points during Production).
The sixth round is abbreviated, it consists only of Consolidation, Production and the ultimate Obtaining of Bonuses.
The player with the most victory points wins since he will have built the country with the highest level of well-being.

“He who goes slowly, goes surely, and he who goes surely, goes far.”
I have always taken the time to quietly think about what I offer you on a daily basis, both for games, activities and services.
That's why I like to celebrate the store's birthdays every year for the last 6 years with you in the store and in events.
I can indeed question myself about the past year and ask what new ideas I can offer you for the following year.
And then seeing where we started from to progress a little more each year, I find that stimulating.
I like to search and find new things to offer you, simply because I always try to do better than what I have been able to do before.
I like to move at my own pace and try to offer you things that sometimes work and sometimes don't, the most important thing is to see what allows you to progress, successful or not...
I plan to continue looking for ways to offer you new things every year, because I love sharing my passion for gaming with you.

Today we are going to talk about the Golden Age!
In Siècle d’or, investors from the Netherlands, 3 to 4 players for 60 minutes from 10 years old, fruitful developments are yours!
In Golden Age, we play merchant explorers from the Netherlands who seek to get rich by developing its different regions.
The theme of this game is the economic and cultural development of the Netherlands in the 17th century.
The game is played on a large game board in the Netherlands, divided into provinces.
Additionally, there are spaces for the West Indies and the East, and a track all around the board with the majority of spaces listing two of the ten provinces (in various combinations) which earn players varying income depending on their influences in these provinces, or income spaces which provide players with a fixed income.
The players' goal is to be the first player to gain 33 victory points, which are acquired by earning money to expand their influence in the provinces, frequent artists, invest in businesses, establish colonies in India or achieve civic progress.
These are represented by purchasing cards from one of six decks, with each deck having a particular objective.
Investment cards allow cash payments, with larger payouts for collecting sets of different values (a single card is worth less than a set of three cards).
Artists provide a potentially large source of victory points, but require several rounds of patronage (i.e. money) before paying out.
Colonization cards provide ships, captains, and cannons to equip expeditions to establish colonies which yield victory points and access to the highest paying spice investment card game.
Civic cards can provide governorships in provinces (victory points and income), civic improvements (victory points), a special action that allows their holder to modify the normal rules to advance a token on the track of the board.
There are cards that also work with certain other decks, in the Civic deck (e.g. Investments, Expedition Components, etc.).

“To take revenge for an offense is to put oneself on the level of one’s enemy; to forgive him is to put oneself above him. »
Since the time that I have suffered the uncomfortable behavior of certain individuals out of a spirit of “competition”, I believe that my patience and my resilience no longer need to be proven…
When you send your friends to tell you that “what you are selling is crap…. ". Whether they come to the front of the store or allow themselves to insult me in the street of “la c…….” board games”, we don’t really have any moral lessons to give to our “competitor” as you like to call me…
Almost 6 and a half years without flinching in the face of all this, because as I told you in person when you came to ask me in my own store “Could we be united?” ".
I told you that I was not interested in showing solidarity with people who denigrate my store and my values...but that I would not return the favor, because that's simply not me...
However, I forgave you a while ago, because I decided to focus my attention and energy on something more useful and constructive, my store!
I'm talking about this so that you understand once and for all that I will NEVER respond to your baseness, whatever the level...
I hope for you at some point that you will be able to refocus on yourself to appreciate what life has to offer you.
I wish you good sales and lots of good things in your professional and personal lives, but without me...

Today we’re going to talk about Identiquest!
In Identiquest, who will steal the most precious stones without being unmasked from 3 to 6 players for 15 minutes from 8 years old!
In Identiquest, we are precious stone thieves who must seize them, be unmasked or escape.
We shuffle the precious stone cards and place the draw pile face down in the center of the table, then we spread 5 cards from the face up pile in the center.
We then place the 7 different suspect cards in front of each player with the question mark faces up.
Each player then receives an “identity” card which they look at discreetly and place face down, without showing it to the other players.
The objective of each player will then be to steal the precious stones of the same color as their “identity” card.
Each turn, players have the right to one of two actions, steal gems or accuse a player.
To steal stones, the player takes 2 of the 5 precious stone cards placed in the center of the table and places them in front of him, this will be his loot (he places them on top of those already stolen if he has any).
We then replace the 2 stolen cards with 2 new cards from the pile in the center of the table.
To accuse a player, the player whose turn it is must report him to the police by announcing the color of the “identity” card he thinks the player has.
You must have at least 2 precious stone cards in your loot to be able to accuse another player.
If the accusation does not match the color of the offending player, the question mark card placed in front of the player will be turned over to show a red cross which indicates that the player's "identity" card is not of that color.
The player who accused him will have to give him 2 precious stone cards from his own loot.
If the accusation was justified, the accused player turns his “identity” card face up and all the other players turn their question cards of the color concerned in front of them towards the red cross.
A player is unmasked as soon as he is accused and it is the right color, he must then give 4 precious stone cards to his accuser (or the rest if he has less than 4).
A player escapes as soon as the last question mark card is turned over, he can no longer be accused.
As soon as the player has performed one of these two actions, another player takes their turn and chooses from these two choices.
The game ends when either the precious stone cards are exhausted or all players are unmasked or escaped.
Each player counts the number of precious stones in the color of their “identity” card to know the number of points they have earned.
The player with the most points wins the game.

Lagos Beaches
Lagos, "The Lakes", is a Portuguese city located in the south of the Algarve, at the mouth of the Bensafrim.
Lagos is an old seaport with a history dating back over 2000 years. Its name Lagos derives from the Gallic Lacobriga.
Lagos was first a trading post where the Carthaginians recruited Gallic mercenaries to fight the Romans during the Wars.
It was then colonized by the Romans, and depended on the Roman province of Lusitania.
There are still some Gallo-Roman remains in and around Lagos itself.
It was probably at Lacobriga, near Mount Molião, that the rebel general Sertorius, with the support of Lusitanian auxiliaries, defeated the army of Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius sent to arrest him.
Lacobriga was already a considerable port at that time. In the 6th century, the city was successively governed by the Visigoths from the Kingdom of Toledo then by the Byzantines.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. »
If there is one quality of mine that has always been useful to me in life and especially in the store, it is patience...
I wanted at all costs to develop moments around board games with you and not just sell them to you.
The events at the store took off quite quickly and were going pretty well from the start.
I had to be more patient with the outdoor activities which started timidly.
Patience can seem bitter when you are not immediately recognized for the experience you can offer.
But as they say “Rome was not built in a day”, every project is built, needs to mature and develop in order to evolve perpetually.
We put our stones in place one after the other and then we adjust them if they are not ready to build something solid.
And then over time, we reap the sweet fruits of what we sowed and we know why it was worth the wait.
Now, since covid, my outdoor activities are very calm and my outdoor activities are very dynamic.
This is why I chose to introduce games with “Discover Games” to introduce beginners to board games and why not help find new players. ;)
Everyone receives their blessings, there is no point in being jealous or eyeing the good things that other people gain...
What takes time to build often lasts longer than what is hastily built.

Hello everyone !
Today we are going to talk about Noli!
In Noli, let's build the most powerful seaport with 4 players for 45 minutes to be the best patron!
In Noli, we control a thriving medieval maritime city under the benevolent patronage of the powerful Republic of Genoa.
This sun-drenched fishing community has a rich history of independence, trade and competition.
Every year, in September, in order to determine the fishing rights for the following season, the gozzi (typical fishing boats of Liguria) from the four districts of Burgu, Ciassa, Màina and Portellu organize a regatta along a route of 1,600 meters, in fractions of 400 meters between buoys.
Not content with this form of competition alone, merchant families from each neighborhood compete with each other to build tall red brick towers to display their wealth.
Their successful buildings give the town of Noli its distinctive appearance, although no merchant tower can hope to match the proud castle atop Monte Ursino, whose constant vigilance and defensive walls protect Noli from Saracen raids and assaults jealous neighboring towns!
Each game follows a series of rounds, during which players will secretly bid on four actions using coins. The player who makes the highest bid for each action wins a bonus or moves closer to victory by building a floor of their tower.
Between each auction session, players frantically roll dice in real time to simulate the famous Regata-dei-Reoni. The winner of the race gets to fish in the best places, drawing from the best deck of fish cards, while the other players must draw from worse decks containing fewer fish. These cards can also feature events such as "The Saracens Attack!" and “Storm!” which disrupt the game and push players back.
If a player manages to build 6 tower floors, or have the most tower floors at the end of the game, they win!
Good day and good game ;)
