Game publisher since ... january 2006 !
Spiel-ou-Face is a very new french company to create and publish boardgames. It is also the meeting of impassioned gamers and specialists in the edition whose experiment is much older.
Their ambition is evident : to develop a range of games which combine fun and reflexion. Without market research, nor calculation of modes, nor easy licences : just games as rich, intelligent, and amusing as possible, with always a maximum of interaction.
In brief, games they like and they hope players will like too !
Metromania is the first title by Spiel-ou-Face. Other games will follow soon, in very different universes, but respecting the same ambition.
