Beside creation, for a few years, I also have turned books into games

In parallel to creation, for a few years, I have transformed also books into games. At school where the rules were very rigid (with blow of rule on the fingers sometimes), the escape was in games (baccalaureate, naval battle) and play in the courtyard (soccer). In summer camp when it rained, there were board games (monopoly, cards, etc.). When the weather was fine, there were outdoor games (soccer, captive ball, etc.). Games socialized me by accepting the rules, by respecting the opponent, the referee and all the rest… During a 10 years quest through several countries cultures (Yemen, the USA, etc.), rules of life, trades as different the ones as the others, I learned how to adapt myself to them. It was a question of survival. My vocation was born. I started to make boards, educational and communication for companies by "chance" and with pleasure. I won the Lud’or Price in 1993 & 1994 at the International Game Exhibition for the Training and Communication game called “Ludimat”. In parallel to games design, I also transform books into games. Life is a game. Let's play.
