I’m leaving tomorrow morning to Essen, hoping the train trip will be less complicated than last year. If you want to see me there, here’s my signing schedule.
Pity Trick & Treat is not there this year, I would have liked to also present my favorite design, Treasure of the Dwarves.

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.

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.

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.
