Paris est Ludique 2024: Paris games festival cancelled this year

Addicted to board games ? The Festival Paris est Ludique, awaits you every year on the Pelouse de Reuilly to offer you its festival dedicated to board games and other playful novelties for enthusiasts to discover. This year's edition was scheduled for June 28 and 29, 2024... Except that, with the Olympic Games in full swing, the organizers were forced to cancel this year's edition, as they were unable to find a venue to welcome visitors (the Reuilly lawn being occupied for the Olympics).

Every year, this festival brings together publishers, authors, associations and volunteers in one place, to introduce you to contemporary board games! In a friendly, open-air setting, dozens and dozens of game publishers (from the big names like Asmodee, Iello, Revensburger and Space Cowboys to smaller independents), associations and toy libraries from Paris and the Île-de-France region await us for a festival that sounds the start ofsummer!

With over 15,000 visitors, the Paris est ludique festival usually takes over the Pelouse de Reuilly. A tree-lined, bucolic venue, in the open air... and in Paris. And while we await the program for the 2025 edition, let's go back to the heart of the 2023 edition and reminisce about the good times...

On the program for Paris est Ludique in 2023...:

• The publishers' village: the majority of French-language publishers will be on hand to present their latest releases and classics. Major companies and self-publishers will be on hand to help you discover all kinds of games.
  
  
• Espace jeux de demain: A place for discovery and exchange. Authors present their as yet unpublished games. It's a friendly space where players can chat with the authors - some famous, others to be - and enjoy discovering fresh new games.
  
  
• All-you-can-eat games area: 500 games are on offer, and there are of course animators to help you choose, guide you and explain the rules.
  
  
• Associations area: to make the most of the great outdoors and the first days of summer, associations will be playing exotic outdoor games (Mölkky, Kubb, quidditch, lightsaber...). There are also games libraries, players' clubs, Accessijeux (games adapted for disabled people)...
  
  
• Tournaments: Splendor, Chakra, Bison, Dictopia, Quarto, Rainbow...
  
  
• Role-playing games, history games, miniature games, as well as a ring for face-to-face competition in 40 very short games.
  
  
• Stores: a number of boutique stands enable festival-goers to buy new and used games at publisher's prices!

At Paris est Ludique, there's always something going on: book signings, debates, improvisational theater, aperitifs-rencontre... and all around games, of course.
