Catch Up Games is a publishing house base in Lyon and founded in 2014 by Clément and Seb. Long-time gamers, their initial goal was just to enjoy themselves… that is, to publish games they like, beyond any limitations from game types, commercial ranges, or box sizes… Though always keeping in mind that their games should also appeal to seasoned players such as themselves. Their knowledge of the hobby and experience in the gaming industry lead them to focus on original titles, both mechanically and graphically.
This year, we'll be greeting you with a new title and 4 games we're particularly fond (and proud) of:
- Premiering on the show : Red Notice, an assymetric 2-player game which will have you play as a federal agent chasing a renowned forger, in a suspenseful pursuit around the world.
- Flip 7, the smash-hit card game of 2025, a push-your-luck game with the easiest rules, but always tense and fun!
- Castle Combo, a quick and nifty tableau-builder game on every table lately, thanks to its quirky art and satisfying combos!
- Courtisans, a card game full of skullduggery. Tonight, the queen holds a banquet that everyone will attend. Will they leave a good impression? Backstabbing is fair game, and no trick is too dirty if it allows you to place your favorite families in the spotlight.
- Faraway, (winner of the As d'Or Initiés in 2024!) an innovative game that will have you travel one way, then score on your way back… Don't miss the opportunity to play this globally acclaimed game!
