Interview
During Zomerspel 2026 (May 30–31, 2026), we had the pleasure of joining Meetle's Live on Stage. We talked about our future plans, a new game currently in development, our vision on board games, and how we place cultural heritage at the heart of our catalogue. It turned into a wonderfully enjoyable conversation with Grégory & Celien! You can watch our segment starting at timestamp 1:25:22.
