We're a queer game-making collective based in Paris. Here are the games we made or are currently working on.
History Hates You is a trivia card game composed nearly exclusively of traps. It was designed by the whole BOG team over more than a year and represents more than 1000 hours or research, followed by extensive design and play-testing. Right now, it exists as a 200-card game, as well as a 200-card extension, in English only, and you can read more about it here. You can buy the pdf here (pay what you want), although please don't share it on the internet. With the help of a game association (le Cercle de l'Orbite Galactique), we made a print run so you can also buy a high-quality copy for 15€ (on which our margin is about 4€). If it generates enough interest, we will try to make a website to play it online, in both French and English, as well as another extension (for which we already have 100+ cards planned).
Sometimes, public intellectuals say or write strange and stupid things, leaving us mystified or horrified. Weird Takes is a Go Fish-inspired trivia game based on such quotes, with a pack of 56 cards. It was entirely designed, researched, drawn and written in a 24-hour game jam as a present for a friend of the BOG team. The ready-to-print pdf (pay what you want) is coming soon!
An exactly 200-word 1-player angst-game, written by Enka for Prokopetz's 2024 200-word RPG game jam. It is not a game meant to be fun, but can still be found here.
A pedantry fest where players are wizards who use obscure formulations to cast spells at each other, guessing the meaning to prepare the appropriate counterspell. This game is still under development and play-testing (the game-design and writing are done), and currently only exists in French.
This dice-based board game comes from Enka's 2018 research in graph theory, and was being developed into a mobile and browser game. Development is currently on hold due to a change in the dev team, but should resume in 2026.
We have a few other projects but we'll let them bake a bit more before putting them here.
We're a collective based in Paris, living together in a sort of queer neurodivergent commune. We're all nerds and geeks of different stripes as well as makers with lots of toys to play with, and make games for a specific kind of people, us. Most of our games started with one of us (generally Enka) trying to inflict psychic damage on someone else or just infodumping on special interests.
Levi is a goblin who eats dirt and sometimes draws things. Levi is in charge of final graphic design, copy-editing, coding, some artwork, and (rightly) complaining that the others' work is too sloppy.
Larry, after working multiple years as a physiotherapist in a hospital, is now an artist and fantasy writer, writing about changeling detectives, cheese, and pirates (to appear here). Larry is in charge of most of the initial artwork and design prototyping, as well as eating sausages.
Enka is a researcher and you can read more about them in that capacity here. They started really designing games after a burn-out and haven't really stopped since, and also write fiction once in a while. Enka is in charge of game-design, writing and whatever research the games require, and laughing maniacally during play-testing.
