About

From the locker room to the table

A lifetime of team sport taught us one thing: a team is also built off the court, on the road, in hotels and in the long hours of waiting around a table.

Who we are

DS4Games is a board game studio based in Montpellier, France. It was founded by Diego Simonet, a former Montpellier Handball and Argentina national handball team player.

How our games are born

A whole summer of playing board games with friends gave birth to 1812, to tell Argentine history around a table. Then came Paris with Les Secrets de la Tour Eiffel. And together with Antonin Boccara we created Olympikos, tested again and again by Montpellier Handball.

Why we play

Technology takes up a huge place in everyone’s life. That’s why we enjoy more and more getting together to play board games, in a world where the connection with the other person is real.
