Angers down town streets as fields of games

 It was like a giant monopoly. All Saturday afternoon, several pedestrian streets of Angers down town were, temporarily, properties of city game board associations. These places - Bodinier, Saint-Laud, Poëliers streets and Pilori, Romain and even Railliement squares, were the fields of games of "Deux jours en jeux", an event organized by these associations of enthusiasts. About a hundred games had their rules explained. Onlookers, adults as well as children, beginners or experienced players, had nothing to do but play.

For its thirteenth edition, "Deux jours en jeux" had choosen the games of chance : dice, cards among others.  "By chance", it didn't rained that afternoon and numerous people came and discovered new ways to have fun after decades of tv stalling. Several Angers stores as La Luciole and Sortilèges, two old Angers shops dedicated to game boards, had set up stands for those who may decide to buy something.

That brought through streets a very lively atmosphere which had  disappeared when those were invaded by cars instead of pedestrians. The festival will continue on Sunday in Thiers-Boisnet hall till 6.30 pm.
