Tariffs are putting US game companies out of business. (Note this is the US subsidiary of AMIGO, not the whole German company)
amigogames.bsky.social AMIGO Games @amigogames.bsky.social · 4d
Very sad news: After eight memorable years in the American market, AMIGO Games US will close its doors at the end of 2025. Thank you to our team, partners, and players for your support along the journey.

AMIGO Games' products will continue to be available while supplies last.

C’est conceptuel, mais pas très bon.
Challenging concept, mediocre result.

Je dis souvent que je suis contre les quotés, et quand j'organise des trucs, je me retrouve toujours plus ou moins à en appliquer, parce que c'est quand même plus sympa d'avoir des gens un peu différents.

C'est tout le paradoxe des quotas. Si on n'y a pas recours, rien ne change. Si on y a recours, c'est artificiel et du coup, rien ne change non plus. Il faudrait pouvoir les utiliser discrètement, sans que cela ne se voie, mais c'est assez rare. Si vous le voyez, c'est donc un peu raté.....

In 10 days, October 23-26, I'll be in Germany, at the Essen game fair. Here is my public signing schedule.
If you are a publisher I've never met, or not met for a while, and want to have a look at my prototypes, I still have a few open slots, mostly on Sunday. Please message or email me.

I plan to meet only non-French publishers, big or small, that I have never seen so far, or not for some time. If you are one or them and interested in having a look at my prototypes, please message or email me.

In three weeks, october 23-26, I will be at the Essen boardgame fair. Having been relatively successful in placing games to publishers these two last years, and having attended more fairs than I used to do and met many publishers,

On en a peu au début, sinon du pur "double guessing", mais on a des éléments de plus en plus concrets quand le jeu avance, puisque chaque contrat gagné oblige à jouer un jeton face visible.

I'll be in Edinburgh, for Tabletop Scotland, from September 5 to 7.
Then I'll be at the Vichy Game Festival, from September 14 to 16.

If you are a publisher interested in my prototypes, or just want to discuss anything game related with me, just message me.

See you soon

Une variante pour À LA LETTRE, pour 2 à 5 joueurs :
Chaque joueur a une main se sept cartes. Chacun à son tour joue une carte de sa main, que tout le monde doit mettre dans sa grille, puis pioche une carte.

Si j'y avais pensé à temps, on aurait ajouté ça dans les règles.

Double standard.
No one is ever suggesting that all Americans are to blame for Trump’s violent policies. It has however become commonplace to blame not only all Israelis, but even all Jews, for Netanyahu’s crimes.

Finally got my author copies of the new edition of Mission Red Planet. The parcel needed three weeks to make Toulouse-Paris, and one copy was damaged, but the game looks really nice, even when it's more purple than red.

J'ai finalement reçu mes exemplaires d'auteur de Mission Planète Rouge - le colis a mis trois semaines pour faire Toulouse-Paris, et une boître a pris mal, mais c'est très joli, même si plus mauve que rouge.

1) If you are in contact with me and are afraid I could have lost your contact, please email me again with your email address.
2) If you get a mysterious email saying that I have terminal cancer and need money, just ignore it.

My gmail account was hacked. Things should be back in order now, but if in the meantime all my emails from the 8 last years have vanished.
