The Lore

Hi, I’m Andi. And this is Sparki, up on the shelves—she’s a sleeping Pikachu.

We’re not just a shop.
We’re a little spark of community, hidden in a city full of finance, private equity, real estate, and bureaucracy.

A place for games, for people, for stories, for connection.
A place where people can sit down and create games together.

We see mixed tables everywhere—tables where at least one person doesn’t speak French/German, tables where at least one person doesn’t want to play a translated game.

So we started small—just me, some shelves, and Sparki.

We support the people who make games—designers, publishers, distributors—but most of all, we’re here for the players. For you.

Let’s play.

— Andi
