“Happiness is not having everything you want, but appreciating what you have.”
You must have noticed that I am very happy every day to be able to share my passion for board games with you!
We don't always have what we want in life, but what we already have is a treasure that we can share...
I would have liked to be able to stretch myself to be able to respond to all the requests for outdoor entertainment time that I received.
In the impossibility of a split, I decided to enjoy every moment of games with you without limits except that of my Sunday rest. ;)
And then if we didn't have everything we wanted, I'm not sure we would savor these little everyday moments with as much fervor.
I like to surprise you by offering you original game choices and let myself be surprised by these unique gaming moments that they gave us the benefit of!
I like to focus on choosing games according to each of your current game desires and adapt and readjust my fun proposals endlessly.
The most important thing for me is that games allow us to have fun, friendly moments together. And if they also get closer at the same time, it’s the icing on the cake!
Seeing players come together in addition to game activities to share a passion and create friendships thanks to it, it's just magical in my eyes.
Often the master of the game during games, I like to see connections created and to see the complicity develop between my players.
I love these moments when you try to cheat before my eyes, believing that I won't see anything. ;)
I also love these moments when I share duets or team games with you, because it is so important for me to interact with you about games.
My daily joys are the store, the activities, our conversations and all your smiles and bursts of laughter! THANKS !
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 ;)
Eye of Itzamna: at the heart of the temple in the game.
Let's take a look at the fascinating world of board games.
At the heart of the game temple, we discover fascinating treasures!
The world of board games is constantly evolving, which allows the different players in the game to offer diverse and varied fun adventures...
Fun nuggets that allow you to get together around a table and spend a unique moment of complicity together.
Always curious and on the lookout, I like to discover new things so that I can introduce them to you in turn.
Sometimes you have to go on a fun adventure to find wonders that sometimes go unnoticed as the range of board games is so enormous these days.
Between 1000 and 1500 games are now released per year, and that's not even for toys, but only board games!
We cannot humanly know everything, but it is a daily quest to find what you like the most among this diversity to offer them to you in store.
And among all this we have to make choices, not always easy, but always oriented towards an original playful proposition that stands out from what is done everywhere.
I like to offer you original choices and you embark on the daily quests of the fun adventure of the world of board games ;)
More and more of you are trying the fun adventure alongside me, so I intend to continue to offer you original choices that are all as unique as you too are ;)
After being an animator for years, I wanted to move into another career path.
When we acquired the local store, the idea to germinate in my mind, to create a board game store.
At this time, Vaison sadly saw a symbol disappear, the paradise of babies...
Fan of board games since my youngest age, I wanted to share with you my passion for games.
So I took a year to train myself in business management to prepare for the opening of the store in the most serene way possible.
To create the site, even if I was good at coding, I took courses to improve myself and be able to customize the site as much as possible.
And then come the stages of creation where you mature your project with encouragement on the one hand and non-constructive criticism on the other...
I then started from the negative to develop the positive.
Because the negative can help you become more sure of your project.
How ?
As far as I am concerned, by being even more vigilant than if I had only had constructive criticism.
Because if our project will always bother some people (and yes, there are always dissatisfied people), it will delight a large number of people.
So, believe in your projects, give yourself the tools to be able to achieve them and never stop progressing. ;)
And for entertainment, I already had many years of experience behind me and an adaptability to my entertainment groups that allow me to personalize the play times that we share together as much as possible.
I intend to remain a force of proposal to offer you unique moments, passionate conversations around board games.
Sharing my passion for board games with all of you will always be my best motivation!
The battle: learn to overlap and enter into conflict.
My memory of the battle begins at 3 years old, when I played with my cousins.
No Batawaf or Batanimo at that time, but a good old deck of 32 or 54 cards would do.
In ascending order or by values for Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces and Jokers.
Whoever had the strongest card won both cards in play, or more when there was one battle or multiple battles.
A game of chance, the battle game allows you to gently learn about card games and the battle brings the concept of confrontation with the other player(s).
He gently learns to win and lose and to react to the risk factor of the cards in his hand.
Learning to play by following rules that put all players on an equal footing also allows young children to learn and then enjoy the games.
With the battle, we learn to confront two cards by their values, making win the strongest, but we can also lose stronger cards in the battles.
The setting of the game quite often makes it easier to manage the emotions linked to victory or defeat, because you can take revenge or even have a good time.
A game is sometimes like in life, as Philippe Le Guillou says “Life is a game. You have to know how to lose”.
But whatever happens, as Jack London puts it, “Life is not just about having the right cards in your hand; sometimes it's knowing how to play well with a bad game”.
And then everything falls into place thanks to and with you.
During these first five years with you, I was able to develop the store.
Because your constructive opinion on the store is very important to me, I remain at your disposal on a daily basis.
Thanks to your proposals to improve the store, its evolution has always been in the right direction thanks to you.
And little by little everything fell into place. First with the sale of games, then with services and finally with animations.
I would not have been and I still would not be able to offer beautiful playful nuggets or unique moments without your enthusiasm for board games or your desire to discover them.
5 years ago in Vaison, board games were not as common as they are now.
You have and continue to trust me and I strive to ensure that you can continue to do so. :)
I still have plenty of good ideas to offer you, and as long as you trust me, I still have plenty of surprises in store for you.
Let's talk about this passion for the game that drives me.
Born from my earliest childhood, the game has always been for me above all a way of sharing with other players.
Whether it was with my grandfather, when I started playing or now that I play with you on a daily basis; playing board games, for me, is above all about sharing.
Because beyond the fun that a game provides, sharing a moment with other players is a moment suspended in time, unique and irreplaceable.
We discover each person through their way of playing and interacting with others.
What is interesting is to see players discover themselves through the game, because it allows them to open up a little more to the other players around the table.
I particularly like when the games animations allow people who did not know each other to discover each other and to make acquaintances, or even better very often friends.
So do I drive my passion for games or does it drive me?
Good question…
One thing is sure, my passion for games allows me to share good times with you all and that is priceless!
