The origin of our masterpieces – the studio behind the games

The Boardgame Atelier publishing house was founded in April 2024 by Maximilian Maria Thiel, initially with the aim of releasing an expansion for the game “La Famiglia”. On the one hand, this was made possible because Frank von Tierra del Fuego, who originally published the basic game, not only gave us all the rights to the game free of charge, but also sacrificed a lot of time and patience for questions and help.

On the other hand, the founding of the publishing house was made easier by the fact that the game “La Famiglia” received the prestigious Cannes As d’Or prize in the Expert category in February 2024.

Our team of hard-working helpers has been growing every day since then, because Boardgame Atelier is much more than a small publisher… We have become a big family!
