The game components

With generic and minimalist components, the Gamelib Pocket consists of 100 game elements (cards, dice, cubes, etc.).

Pay what you want

The Gamelib Pocket is offered on a pay-what-you-want basis: it means that you get to decide the price you want to pay to obtain it.

The concept

The Gamelib Pocket is a true library of board games that fits in your pocket! It allows you to play a multitude of different board games, both traditional and original, and to stimulate the creation of new games!

Weekly content release

Every week for a full year (Nov. 2024 to Oct. 2025), a new traditional game rule is posted on our website.

Convenient and accessible

The game rules are available in PDF format, free to download from our website. Filter them according to your needs and preferences!

A significant editorial effort

The rules are written, proofread, formatted, and translated by humans in French, English, Spanish, and German.

Monthly content release

Every month for a full year (Nov. 2024 to Oct. 2025), a new original game rule, created by Léandre Proust, is posted on our website.

Minimalist and lightweight

With its compact dimensions, the Gamelib Pocket is very easy to carry. It’s ideal for playing on the go, while traveling, or on vacation.

Who are we?

The Gamelib Pocket was developed by Grammes Edition, under the direction of Léandre Proust.

GRAMMES EDITION

Grammes Édition is a French publishing house founded in 2020 by Léandre Proust and Adeline Deslais. Both trained librarians specializing in games, they have been active in the board game industry for over 14 years. Today, they focus on developing innovative projects such as publishing the Philimag magazine, the Clash of Decks game, the Acrylogic mobile app, and the Gamelib Pocket.

The project leader

“My name is Léandre Proust, I’m a French game designer and publisher. As a compulsive experimenter, I develop only projects that are close to my heart, often unconventional and initially seem impossible to achieve. Accessibility, minimalism, and free access are values that are dear to me and are omnipresent in my editorial projects.”

We would like to thank the talented individuals with whom we had the opportunity to work on the Gamelib Pocket:

Hervine Galliou for art direction and illustration,
Clément Proust for graphic design and website creation,
Siegfried Würtz for rule writing in French,
Albin Chevrel for rule translation into English,
Itzel Velazquez for rule translation into Spanish,
Bojan Hrnkas for rule translation into German.

We also sincerely thank the 2414 backers who supported the edition of the Gamelib Pocket on Kickstarter.
