Editorial line

Bombyx develops most of its games under the "La p'tite Ludothèque" collection, which consists of small card games at a single price, presented in square metal boxes with embossed lids.

Most of the Bombyx games are creations. Bombyx has nevertheless made a few adaptations of foreign games.

Bombyx has a resolutely family-oriented editorial line.

"La p'tite Ludothèque" Collection

The "la p'tite Ludothèque" collection was the one consisting of easily transportable and storable family games, as it was mainly characterised by the format of its metal boxes, which were smaller than a standard game box. Today, games like Codis Naturalis and Conspiracy, even if published in the same form, are not really part of this collection in terms of their editorial line. This makes this designation obsolete for the games still published by the studio.
