Je suis en train de finir la rédaction de la petite histoire d’Hanabi, texte qui figurera dans le livre « Boardgames That Tell Stories » un projet que mon confrère Ignacy Trzewiczek finance via Kickstarter.

I am currently polishing the Hanabi incredible story, a designer diary to be published in the book « Boardgames That Tell Stories » a project conducted by Ignacy Trzewiczek on Kickstarter. The book is already funded but I think that it will be only available for backers. So, if you are interested…
