THIBAUD DE LA TOUANNE
Interview by Matt Jarvis
Given your long career in video games, where did your interest in creating board games come from? I started into the gaming hobby with Dungeon & Dragons and Games Workshop and Ludodelire titles before owning my first Amiga.
My career in the video game industry allowed me to design games and I really enj oyed it! When I started to work, I spent more time playing video games, but from time to time we played board games.
Once in Montreal, I was even more into board games - the hobby is quite strong here - and then the passion came back. Triton Noir is not my first step into board game development; I started when I was a student in the early ‘90s.
