Jeu-Dit Episode 3: Roberto Panetta, Martin and Josiane from C't'à ton tour! meet up

On May 28, we broadcast the third episode of Jeu-Dit, our show dedicated to the world of French-language board games.

This episode proved particularly rich thanks to the diversity of its guests. Between game creation, board game media, international convention anecdotes, and completely chaotic challenges, the discussions offered as much relevant information as they did laughter.

Passionate Guests from the Board Game World

We had the pleasure of hosting Roberto Panetta, author of the game Les Gemmes d'Iridescia and founder of Rock, Stone and Dice.

Roberto Panetta Talks About Game Creation

During the interview, Roberto discussed his professional journey and the steps that led him to create Les Gemmes d'Iridescia.

He also shared the inspirations behind his game, discussed his future projects, and offered several valuable tips to authors who wish to publish their first game or venture into board game publishing.

Among Roberto's future projects is Power Punch, a 2-player board game where boxers compete. The idea came directly from a video game he particularly enjoys: Punch Out.

Another game on his list is Cake or Pie? The title of the game immediately raised the question among the guests: are you more Cake or Pie?

Learn more about these projects by watching Roberto's segment in Episode 3 of Jeu-Dit!

For anyone interested in game design or board game entrepreneurship, this part of the episode is particularly worth watching.

Behind the Scenes of C't'à ton tour!

Martin and Josiane then recounted the story behind the creation of C't'à ton tour!, one of the most appreciated French-language board game media outlets.

Martin notably spoke about his work as a photographer at major international events such as Gen Con, SPIEL Essen, and the Festival International des Jeux de Cannes (FIJ).

This discussion provided a unique insight into the evolution of the board game industry and the importance of specialized media in the board game community. We even addressed the question of the use of artificial intelligence in Martin's creative work and beyond, in other creative professions.

A Challenge as Chaotic as It Was Hilarious

To conclude the show, our guests participated in a particularly amusing challenge.

The principle? To guess board games by drawing them on a board.

As if that weren't complicated enough, the participants then had to improvise a real sales pitch to convince others to buy the games they had just presented.

The result: completely unpredictable moments, numerous jokes, and lots of laughter.

An Episode Not to Be Missed

Between discussions on game creation, international convention anecdotes, board game recommendations, and humorous challenges, this episode of Jeu-Dit offers an excellent overview of the richness of the French-speaking board game community.

A huge thank you to our guests, the TVRL studio team, Leany Bonefant, Marine for the show's visuals, L'As des Jeux for their support, and Mana for the drinks that accompanied the team throughout the filming.
