I remember the first game I sold at the store was a 6 that takes, the day after it opened to a lovely gentleman who is always at the playful rendezvous of the store. ;)
I remember my first game animations at the store with Camille, Yanis, Tristan, Sophie, Jessica, Claire, Vanessa, Pierre, Lilah, Sarah, Adem, Maxime… among others… ;)
I remember my first outdoor activities for McDonald's in Saint Romain en Viennois, the first game festivals and activities in the store's toy libraries. ;)
I remember our moments of games shared within the various festivals, seminars, games animations, team-building, volunteering throughout the year. ;)
I remember everything ! From all of you! From every unique and magical moment that we have been sharing every day since June 25, 2018!
Thank you all for allowing me to continue sharing my passion for the game with you! ;)
Since I opened the store on June 25, 2018, I have done my best to constantly listen to you.
And this is not ready to change, because listening to you is better to guide you.
This requires daily benevolence during entertainment times, advice (I hope) wise and in accordance with your interests or desires for games of the moment.
Accompany you on a daily basis when sending and receiving parcels, for your physical and digital document services and to accommodate your luggage when you visit Vaison.
It is by listening to you that I make progress:
-my range of games so that it adapts better to you.
- my animations to adapt them to the particularity of each of you who participate.
-the site on which you find the online games with descriptive sheets and videos.
- information from the game world or current themes that I offer on the store's blog and social networks.
- my passion for the game by sharing it with you every day!
I have the chance to work in a fun and attractive field all year round.
The hardest times are when I sacrifice myself to discover new games so that I can introduce you to them and share them with you afterwards.
Being forced to play to discover new games while having fun with friends and colleagues, it does not look like it but it is exhausting. ;)
Friends, colleagues of the moment during special events, I evolve in an environment where people are all a little crazy like me (you have to to play all these magnificent games ^^).
From one-off moments to moments that recur every year with fad teams, I am overwhelmed.
Great fun teams who are committed to spreading the fun world of board games everywhere we go.
Be careful, toy librarians and gamers of all kinds are on their way to torture you and make you discover fun nuggets throughout the year in France and elsewhere;)
Born in the late 80s, I was born at the propitious moment in the development of board games that preceded our current board games.
The 80s and 90s saw the board game take a turn by becoming a more developed and affordable family practice.
Following wider diversification in these years, the rise of board games exploded in the 80s.
Games became more varied and therefore reached a wider audience.
These same 80s when we see the development of toy libraries and the professionalization of the field thanks to events such as the Spiel des Jahres from 1978 in Germany and especially the Cannes International Games Festival.
I played games that no longer exist such as the secret phone, let's draw fashion, trap marbles, mouse catcher and many more...
We have all also already played these games that still exist such as Uno, monopoly, good pay, destiny, doctor maboul, power 4, trivial puirsuit, gluttonous hippo, sinking touchdown, twister, etc…
We discover a lot of things by playing board games.
You can be a novice or a seasoned player, you always end up discovering new themes or game mechanisms to challenge yourself. It is not always easy to step out of your comfort zone, board games being no exception, to approach and discover things that are unknown to us.
By opening up to games that we do not know, we sometimes discover unsuspected facets of ourselves, as for example during semi-cooperative games.
I am thinking in particular of Galérapagos, to name just one, where we either develop the desire to rot others (in the context of the game of course ^^), to help each other and sometimes end up losing because eliminating by players with whom we had ephemeral alliances…^^
In the end, semi or cooperative or even competitive games, we all want to win, but we can't all win.
Where we all win is by sharing a good time gathered around a game.
Among the creations that I have been led to carry out with you, some remain in my mind more particularly.
Brico’récup is one of them.
Recovering objects intended to be thrown away to give them a second life is a project that I co-host with pleasure with my former colleagues.
The times of collaborative games during the Christmas workshops where all the children create Christmas decorations and play together around our big games and board games also delight me a lot.
Intergenerational games throughout the year that allow families to laugh and enjoy good times together are priceless.
I have created unique workshops for all of you and I will continue to do so, because I love sharing my passion with you.
