You know the “meeples”, those little wooden or plastic characters that allow you to play board games.
Passionate about games for fifteen years, David Allanic, a resident of Jouy, in the agglomeration of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), wanted to have fun above all, when he started making original pawns.
“We always find the same pawns in the boxes, quite impersonal, and in the immersion games, they do not allow to be transported in the universes”, explains the former technical salesman.
Over 150,000 pawns manufactured
In his workshop, he molds, pours and assembles the resin to create the small figurines, then paint them. First for him, then for friends, before arriving at the International Games Festival in Cannes, where he begins to create his network.
We have contracts with games where we can affix the license to the bag of pawns, otherwise we only mention the game with which a bag can be compatible.

The Twinples are multiplying, from 10 models… Up to more than 350 today. At the start of July 2021, production extended to 150,000 pieces, sold in France, Europe and the United States!
Trendy deck building games, Althing in the Vikings universe
This is one of David’s other hats, he publishes board games, with Studio Twin Games. Recently, the company released its first board game, Althing. On the principle of a deck building, the strategy game, which lasts on average twenty minutes, is a race to succeed the King of the Vikings. But be careful, you will have to go through several stages and destabilize your opponents!
