A word from the founder
You're not talking to a salesperson. You're talking to the team that makes your game.
Five people. Three workshops. No distant outsourcing, no chain of agencies. When you call us, Killian picks up, Johanna prices your quote, Joeffrey approves the proof.
"Seven years of making board games for blue-chip brands and publishers across Europe. Every single time, I'm the one who reviews the quote before it goes out. Every single time, I'm the one who signs off the proof before it goes to press. That's what being your EU partner means."

FAQ
The questions
The questions
we get most often.
You probably have the same ones. Here are our answers, no spin.
Are your games compliant?
Yes. 100% of our production complies with EN71 (toy safety). We work with ESATs and eco-design is built into the entire chain, not a bonus.
What's your CSR approach?
We've been working with an ESAT for assembly and finishing since 2021 (first agreement signed). Production stays in the EU to cut transport miles and stay CSRD-compatible. No greenwashing: it's been built into our costs from day one.
Do you handle small runs or only large quantities?
Both. We go from single prototypes to runs of 50,000 units. Testing an idea? We print 1 box. If your project works, we scale with you up to large runs.
Can you help me from the design stage?
Yes. We can step in on game mechanics, rulebook writing, creative concept. Whether you come in with a vague idea or a finished prototype, we adapt to your level of progress.
Where are your workshops?
Three production workshops based in the EU (headquarters in Brittany since 2019, Angoulême and Toulouse). We ship to any EU address with one consolidated invoice. You're welcome to visit our facilities — we host open-house days.
Do you ship internationally?
France, Europe, worldwide, in parcels or on pallets. We also handle storage and custom packaging if you're short on time.
Is my idea protected?
Absolutely. NDA signed on request before any file is shared. It's your idea: we don't touch it and we don't talk about it to anyone.
