Behind the scenes of the licensed board game creation process
Dive into the fascinating world of licensed board games to understand the mechanisms that make them so captivating. At TOPI GAMES, our Licenses department enables us to create unique gaming experiences by collaborating with famous brands such as Harry Potter, Naruto, One Piece, The Lord of the Rings, and many others.
Research and collaboration:
It all starts with thorough research and a deep understanding of the licensed franchise. Dedicated teams work closely with rights holders, analyzing key elements, features, and themes that define the universe. This phase is crucial to ensure total fidelity to the brand.
Creative design:
Once the research phase is complete, creative design comes into play. Game designers explore innovative mechanics and unique approaches that will capture the spirit of the license. Intensive brainstorming sessions help create initial prototypes, highlighting key elements that will make the game both entertaining and authentic.
Approval and validation:
Prototypes are then submitted to rights holders for approval. This stage involves ongoing dialogue to ensure that every detail maintains the integrity of the license. Adjustments may be made to ensure the game meets quality standards both in terms of gameplay and faithful representation of the franchise.
Development and production:
Once approval is obtained, the development process begins. Development teams focus on creating the complete gaming experience, working on technical aspects such as game rules, components, and packaging. The production phase closely follows, ensuring impeccable quality in every box.
Launch and monitoring:
Game launch is an exciting step, but it doesn’t end there. Careful monitoring of player feedback, reviews, and market trends allows for adjustments to the strategy and constant improvement of future iterations. The feedback loop helps refine the process for future licensed games.

How are board games tested?
It all starts with an idea, but as it materializes, the creator must make decisive choices regarding the game, such as its complexity, the age group it’s suitable for, the materials to be used, etc. Then comes the testing phase before commercialization, which will determine whether a game is validated or not! This is the stage we’ll focus on!
Quality materials
When it comes to creating unforgettable moments, for both young and old, the quality of materials is essential. Testers carefully examine the manufacturing of games, ensuring that each component meets the high standards our customers deserve. At TOPI GAMES, we primarily use FSC-certified cardboard, complying with sustainable forest management procedures.
Suitable for all ages
Our board games cover a wide range of ages, and testing ensures that each game is suitable for its target audience. Whether it’s for toddlers, teenagers, or adults, our games offer a tailored gaming experience for every age group.
Replayability and diversity
A key criterion is replayability. Testers and YouTubers assess the variety of game mechanics to ensure that our games provide an engaging and different experience each time. The diversity of games, from lively parties to educational challenges, is a fundamental aspect considered during these evaluations.
Immersion in the universe
For licensed games, immersion in the worlds of renowned brands is essential. Before a game is launched, several back-and-forths occur between the creator and the licensing company to ensure that all graphic elements and the game itself respect the universe of the license. Testers then evaluate how the games manage to capture the essence of franchises such as Harry Potter,
Naruto, or One Piece, thus creating an immersive experience for fans.
What happens when a game fails the tests?
No need to panic; that’s precisely the purpose of testing a board game. If it receives criticism, it’s an opportunity to improve it and make adjustments so that it’s as comprehensive as possible before its commercialization.
The magic behind the testing of our board games by famous YouTubers
At TOPI GAMES, most of our board games are tested by renowned YouTubers such as Squeezie, Pierre Croce, Michou, or McFly & Carlito. Testing our games by famous YouTubers ensures exceptional selection. Every criterion, from materials to immersion in the universe, is meticulously evaluated, ensuring that our games exceed expectations to provide an exceptional gaming experience for all.

While cardboard provides the base, wood and metal bring the touch of authenticity. Game pieces, dice, and other game elements are adorned with these noble materials, imparting unparalleled elegance to the games.

Creative genesis: from ideas to concepts
Board games, witnesses to human ingenuity, arise from a creative spark. It all begins with a captivating idea, a concept that will appeal to players of all backgrounds. When it comes to games based on licenses such as Harry Potter, Naruto, or Dragon Ball Z, creators strive to merge the popular appeal of these universes with innovative gameplay mechanics. This is precisely what Jonathan Algaze, the founder and CEO of TOPI GAMES, has done. He has opened the doors of his workshop to let you discover his passion for board games and how they are created.
Design and collaboration: shaping the gaming experience
After the emergence of the idea, the design process takes center stage! Game designers juggle with mechanics, rules, and visual elements to create an immersive experience. Close collaboration with license holders is essential, as it ensures that the game faithfully respects the aesthetics and essence of the brand while bringing a new and captivating touch.

This iterative step ensures the balance, playability, and originality of the game. Graphics and components are also polished to create a visual aesthetic that immerses players in a world where reality and fiction meet.
From design to reality: production and distribution
Once the game is perfected, it is ready to move on to production. This step involves manufacturing components, printing the board and cards, as well as final assembly.

The Return to Middle-earth: The Extended Wait for “The War of the Rohirrim”
The news had sparked palpable excitement among Tolkien fans: a new Lord of the Rings film, titled “The War of the Rohirrim,” was scheduled for April 10, 2024. However, a new development has disrupted the eager anticipation: the film has been pushed back to December 2024. As if the wait wasn’t already challenging enough! What’s more, this delay is largely linked to an unprecedented wave of protests and strikes in the American film industry, which has been shaking the industry for the past four months.
The War of the Rohirrim: A Journey into Middle-earth’s Past
Before delving into the reasons for the delay, it’s crucial to understand why this film is so highly anticipated. “The War of the Rohirrim” promises to take us 250 years before the epic events of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. The film will explore the creation of Helm’s Deep, one of the most iconic locations in Middle-earth. This is a prequel but a crucial one that contributed to shaping the world that millions of people adore. It’s an opportunity to meet the ancestors of the heroes we know and love and to understand the heavy burdens and major victories that preceded the quests of Frodo and Aragorn.
Strikes with Inevitable Consequences
Now, why the delay? The answer lies in a significant social movement that affects all levels of the American film industry. For the past four months, discontent has been brewing, and strikes have been spreading, putting many projects in jeopardy. Warner Bros has not been spared, and several of its films, including “Dune 2,” have also been postponed.
However, rather than seeing this delay as a disappointment, why not view it as an opportunity? This extra time could be used to fine-tune the film, enrich its story and special effects, to deliver a work that is not only faithful to Tolkien’s spirit but also visually and narratively stunning. Certainly, the film industry is going through a tough time, but art often has a way of flourishing even in the most challenging conditions.
Anticipation: A Fire That Won’t Die Out
Postponing a film is never a decision taken lightly, especially when it carries the weight of a franchise as iconic as The Lord of the Rings. Yet, far from diminishing our anticipation, this delay seems to stoke it even more. Each day is an opportunity for our imagination to run wild, wondering about the new facets of Middle-earth that will be revealed to us.
This delay, unfortunate as it may be, only strengthens our fervent desire to dive back into the legends and battles that shaped Middle-earth. The current state of the film industry is indeed concerning, but it also serves as a reminder that behind every film, there are hundreds of people working tirelessly to create magical worlds. “The War of the Rohirrim” will be their ode to Middle-earth and ours.
So, see you in December 2024 for a new journey into a world that continues, despite all obstacles, to nourish our souls and ignite our imaginations. Like the heroes of Middle-earth, we too know how to wait and hope.

The first “leak” of the Wonder Woman game!
The world of video games is a place where even the tiniest morsel of information can cause a storm. And this time, it’s an accidental leak, of all things, that’s causing a sensation. The story begins quite unassumingly, with a developer sharing concept art from the upcoming Wonder Woman video game as their LinkedIn profile picture. But in no time, the internet does what it does best: it shares, it comments, and, most importantly, it ignites.
The Concept Art: Three Faces of Diana
The visual in question is far from ordinary. It shows Diana, aka Wonder Woman, in three different outfits. The first is classic, the one we all have in mind when we think of the heroine: leather, lasso, and a look of determination. The second version is dressed in traditional Amazonian attire, perhaps a sign of a return to the character’s roots in the game’s plot. And the last one? A futuristic armor that looks like nothing we’ve seen before. Three versions, three eras, or three universes? Speculations are running wild.
An Original Story
To date, we have only a few breadcrumbs of information about this highly anticipated game. What we know is that the game will feature an original story within the DC universe. There’s no direct link to the movies or comics, giving the developers immense creative freedom. Only a brief teaser was revealed at The Game Awards 2021, enough to build excitement but not enough to quench our thirst for knowledge.
The Butterfly Effect: The Repercussions of the Leak
The developer, of course, removed the image from their LinkedIn profile, but as they say, once it’s on the internet, it’s there to stay. This leak, whether accidental or a disguised marketing stunt, has generated a wave of anticipation that will only grow as we approach the release date. For better or worse, this image is now an integral part of the game’s marketing campaign, even if it wasn’t initially intended to be.
Of course, all this buzz generates excitement, but it also creates astronomically high expectations. Fans will be scrutinizing every detail, every aspect of the game to see if it aligns with what they’ve imagined – or not. The final product will have to live up to these expectations because it’s not just a game; it’s a title bearing the weight of one of the most iconic superheroines of all time.

One Piece: Theme Song Revealed!
An Epic Journey Begins with a Note
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of the “One Piece” live-action series on Netflix, a new piece of the puzzle has been revealed, and it’s making a strong impact: the opening theme music titled “Wealth Fame Power.” Composed by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, already famous for their work on “The Witcher” series, this musical work is already stirring waves of excitement and curiosity.
A Duo of Unquestionable Talent
Following their success with the music for “The Witcher,” which is now in its third season, the Belousova-Ostinelli duo was tasked with scoring the rich and complex world of “One Piece.” And it’s safe to say that they seem to have captured the very essence of this universe from the first notes of “Wealth Fame Power.” Their expertise, demonstrated through both epic and melodious compositions in “The Witcher,” bodes well for what’s to come.
“Wealth Fame Power”: An Audible Tribute to Eiichiro Oda’s Work
When you listen to the first few seconds of “Wealth Fame Power,” the homage to the legendary Eiichiro Oda’s work is palpable. The choice of the title itself, echoing the ambitions of the protagonist Monkey D. Luffy and the mythical Gold D. Roger, places the composition firmly within the canon of the story. The music unfolds like an audible epic, filled with elements that harken to the sea voyage, camaraderie, ambition, and the quest for the ultimate treasure, the One Piece. It already seems to carry the emotions of an adventure that promises to be unforgettable.
A Welcome Evolution
While the “One Piece” anime series is famous for its catchy and memorable music, “Wealth Fame Power” stands out. It offers a more mature, nuanced tone, but one that is equally powerful. This artistic choice seems to indicate a commitment to respecting the characters’ evolution and the narrative while bringing a fresh perspective.
If “Wealth Fame Power” is any indication of what’s to come, the complete soundtrack of the “One Piece” live-action series promises to be a unique auditory experience. The question of whether other compositions will match or even surpass this initial introduction will remain unanswered until the series is released at the end of the month.
The Importance of Music in the Narrative Universe
In a series where themes of adventure, friendship, and discovery are so prevalent, music plays a crucial role. It can amplify an emotion, enhance a pivotal moment, or, in some cases, become a character in its own right. With composers as talented as Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli at the helm, it’s hard not to be optimistic.
The music of “Wealth Fame Power” is a heartfelt tribute to the world of “One Piece” while establishing a unique sonic identity for the live-action series. It embodies a promise of a rich and profound adventure and a series that aspires to leave a lasting imprint on the hearts of both fans and newcomers.

Is the latest DC creation, Blue Beetle, a disappointment?
The first week of distribution for “Blue Beetle,” DC Comics’ latest superhero film, concluded with an atmosphere filled with disappointment and concern. The numbers are in, and they aren’t what Warner Bros. had hoped for. With a modest $43 million in worldwide box office earnings in its first week, “Blue Beetle” unfortunately stands as the worst opening in DC’s history, overshadowing recent disappointments like “Shazam 2” and “The Flash.”
DC Comics’ Grand Gamble
After a mixed journey in the DC cinematic universe, Warner Bros. had placed high stakes on “Blue Beetle” to revitalize the brand. Jaime Reyes, the protagonist, represented a new voice, a fresh perspective that could have brought diversity and depth to the DC universe. The bar was set high, but so were the expectations. Unfortunately, the film had a lackluster start, trailing far behind genre giants.
A Week’s Reign
While “Blue Beetle” managed to dethrone the “Barbie” movie in the U.S., this moment of glory remains relative. It’s a Pyrrhic victory, a fleeting glory that doesn’t mask the alarming box office realities. Despite aggressive promotion and somewhat positive word of mouth, the film failed to capture the imagination of the global audience.
Mixed Reviews
The screenplay, direction, and performances were met with mixed reviews. Some saw it as a new boldness and a welcome freshness, while others criticized the film’s lack of originality and depth. However, it’s worth noting that “Blue Beetle” has its merits, offering reflection on identity, adolescence, and the responsibilities that come with extraordinary powers.
Challenges for Warner Bros
This disappointing performance highlights the challenges Warner and DC are facing. After the successive failures of this year, the burning question is, “What’s happening at DC?” Strategic reflection seems necessary to understand the audience’s expectations and how to creatively and innovatively respond to them.
Can Blue Beetle Be Saved?
All is not lost. It’s crucial to remember that many films have had slow starts only to triumph in the end, both at the box office and with critics. Furthermore, the video-on-demand market and streaming platforms can offer a second life to “Blue Beetle.”
The first week for “Blue Beetle” may not have been the expected triumph, but it can serve as a springboard for deep introspection about DC’s future in cinema. Failure isn’t a foregone conclusion; it’s an opportunity to learn, self-reflect, and bounce back. Currently, Warner and DC Comics have a golden opportunity: to reevaluate their strategy, understand their audience, and come back stronger.
Every superhero has their moment of weakness before rising, more determined than ever to fight for what matters to them. So, who knows? Perhaps “Blue Beetle” will eventually find its way to the light, guided by the lessons learned in the darkness of this challenging first week.
A final word for both fans and skeptics: give “Blue Beetle” a chance. Despite its imperfections, this film is the product of passion and ambition, and it deserves to be seen, discussed, and perhaps even celebrated for what it is. After all, heroes often emerge where they are least expected.

DBZ KAKAROT: The New DLC with ‘Young Adult Goku’ !
Nostalgic Arc Comes to Life
The Dragon Ball saga is nothing short of a pillar of popular culture, a global phenomenon that has touched several generations of fans. However, even among this ocean of arcs, battles, and transformations, some moments stand out as particularly memorable. It’s in this vein that the new DLC for Dragon Ball Kakarot dives into, bringing players back to the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament arc, a key moment in the journey of young adult Goku.
A Lesser-Known but Beloved Goku
Goku as a young adult is a period often overlooked in games dedicated to the franchise, making this new downloadable content even more exciting. It’s a nostalgic return to a time when every blow carried weight, when the stakes were high but personal, and when the hero had not yet become the universal icon he is today.
Revamped Combat Mechanics
This DLC does more than just add a new narrative arc to the game; it also changes the rules of combat in a way that should both intrigue and challenge players. Unlike the base game where characters could fly at will, here, feet remain firmly on the ground. This limitation drastically changes the dynamics of combat, forcing players to revise their strategies and focus more on positioning and ground movements.
The second significant modification in the gameplay mechanics is the management of ki. While in the base game, players could often afford to spend their energy without too much concern, the DLC imposes stricter restrictions. Ki becomes a precious resource to be managed carefully, adding an extra layer of tension and strategy to every battle.
Characters True to the Manga
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this DLC is the fidelity to the characters as they are depicted in the manga. Each fighter in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament arena will have their own abilities, perfectly reflecting their portrayal in the original manga. This is sure to delight long-time fans who will happily encounter characters with iconic skills and moves.
Why This DLC Matters
This DLC is more than just an addition of content; it is a celebration of what makes Dragon Ball so special. It reminds us of a simpler but no less intense time in the series’ history. It captures the essence of the battles in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament arc and offers players the opportunity to relive those moments in an interactive format while challenging their skills with new gameplay mechanics.

The Lord of the Rings, the new exhibition !
If stories shape our imagination, it is images that bring it to life. From June 25, 2023, to January 28, 2024, the Hélène and Édouard Leclerc Foundation in Landerneau, in Finistère, invites us to explore one of the richest and most complex literary worlds, that of J.R.R. Tolkien, through the artistic lens of John Howe. Recognized for his involvement in the visual conception of the famous cinematic trilogy ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ the Canadian artist unveils the drawings that transformed Tolkien’s words into an unforgettable visual epic.
The Artist Behind the Myth
John Howe played a fundamental role in how millions of people visualize Middle-earth. His work, more than a mere interpretation, is a true embodiment of the characters, landscapes, and objects imagined by Tolkien. Whether you are a newcomer to Tolkien’s worlds or a devoted reader of the ‘Annals of Middle-earth,’ this exhibition is a unique opportunity to delve deeper into this multifaceted universe that has inspired both literature and cinema.
A Total Immersion Atmosphere
The exhibition is not just a succession of framed drawings or preliminary sketches. No, it is a journey. Upon entering, you are immediately enveloped in an atmosphere that invites daydreaming. Dimmed lights, shifting shadows, and even music all contribute to an immersive experience. You don’t simply observe the artworks; you live with them, walk through the forests of Lothlórien, feel the freshness of the mountains of Moria, and almost touch the cold steel of Glamdring, Gandalf’s sword.
Knowledge in the Service of Passion
While the exhibition charms with its atmosphere, it also educates through its content. Large reproductions of iconic drawings are accompanied by numerous explanatory texts, creating an educational path that will appeal to both enthusiasts and experts. You will discover how every stroke of John Howe’s pencil was nourished by a deep respect for the original text, how the artist captured Tolkien’s spirit to convey it in powerful and evocative images.
More than an Exhibition, an Experience
The goal of this exhibition is clearly to provoke reflection on how visual art and literature can intersect to create a total work of art. Howe’s drawings are not just illustrations; they are a gateway to a world of extraordinary richness. When you leave, you will not only be more knowledgeable but also more aware of the power of storytelling and art as conveyors of emotion and thought.
For lovers of Middle-earth, for art enthusiasts, for those curious about the magic contained in words and images, this exhibition is a must-visit. It is an epic journey in itself, an adventure that takes you far while bringing you back to the essence of what makes us human: our need to dream, create, and share. Through his works, John Howe reminds us that art is not merely decoration but an open window to infinite worlds. And this window is wide open in Landerneau; don’t wait to take a look and let yourself be enchanted.
Book your tickets, plan your visit, and embark on this graphic odyssey that, far beyond the mountains and forests of Middle-earth, will take you to the very heart of the human imagination.”

One Piece: A Reassuring Trailer ?
With great anticipation and a hint of skepticism, fans of One Piece awaited the arrival of the new trailer for the series adapted by Netflix. Let’s recall that One Piece, the masterpiece by mangaka Eiichiro Oda, is considered one of the pillars of modern manga culture. Therefore, this live-action adaptation by Netflix had the potential to cause concern among longtime admirers. However, to everyone’s surprise, the new trailer appears to have reassured many skeptics.
From the very first images, viewers are immediately immersed in the picturesque and colorful world of One Piece. The series’ creators have brilliantly captured Eiichiro Oda’s unique universe, which is a bold blend of fantasy, adventure, and drama. The precise and meticulous artistic direction accurately evokes the atmosphere of the original manga, effectively showcasing the incredibly diverse landscapes of the One Piece world.
Furthermore, the faithfulness to the original work is demonstrated through the adaptation of the characters. From Luffy, the carefree yet determined hero, to Zoro, the big-hearted samurai, and Nami, the resourceful navigator, all are portrayed with care and respect. Their appearance, personalities, and even their relational dynamics are faithfully translated.
The trailer also provides a brief but appreciable introduction to the main plot. Without revealing too much, it gives enough hints to intrigue newcomers while bringing smiles to manga fans with subtle nods. In a word, the trailer excels in the challenging art of teasing.
But what likely reassured skeptical fans the most is the explicit support of One Piece’s creator himself, Eiichiro Oda. In the past, Oda has always guarded his work jealously, not hesitating to be demanding of adaptations that didn’t meet the mark. So, it was with immense relief that we learned he not only approved of Netflix’s adaptation but also serves as one of its creative advisors.
The trailer is also rich in action, featuring glimpses of fights and stunts that promise spectacular scenes. The special effects appear up to expectations, creating a credible and visually impressive fantasy world.
This Netflix One Piece series trailer has managed to charm fans and quell skeptics. The challenge was immense: adapting a work as iconic and beloved as One Piece may seem insurmountable. However, with meticulous attention to detail, impressive artistic direction, and the support of the original creator, Netflix seems to be on the right path.
It remains to be seen if the series itself can live up to the promises of the trailer. But judging by what we’ve seen so far, it seems we can expect a series that will honor One Piece’s legacy while bringing something new and exciting. Fans around the world are now eagerly awaiting the series’ release. And it’s certain that this anticipation has been intensified by this promising trailer.
While reminding you that if you want to continue diving into Oda’s universe, we can only recommend our game available here.

The One Piece Netflix series is arriving soon !
The series is approaching at full sail!
The world of anime is buzzing with excitement over the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of One Piece on Netflix!
Fans of the cult manga find themselves torn between excitement and apprehension. With the series boasting a colossal budget of $150 million for its first season, it’s hard not to wonder if this adaptation will do justice to the original work. Especially when we look at recent manga adaptations and Netflix’s deviations from original storylines, as seen with The Witcher. Let’s take a closer look at this controversy that’s been stirring up the fan community
Concerns Arising from Previous Adaptations
When it comes to adapting manga into live-action, the history is littered with disappointments. Fans still remember adaptations that failed to capture the essence and magic of the original work. High-profile failures like Dragon Ball Evolution and Death Note left a bitter taste in the mouths of genre enthusiasts. Moreover, Netflix itself has faced criticism for its manga adaptations, including The Witcher, which deviated from the plot of the original books.
The Importance of Staying True to the Work
One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda, is a legendary manga that has captivated millions of fans worldwide. Its rich and complex world, memorable characters, and epic story are essential elements of its success. For the live-action adaptation of One Piece to be successful, it is crucial to stay true to the essence of the work. Fans hope that Netflix understands the importance of respecting the original story and preserving Oda’s unique vision.
A Colossal Budget for an Ambitious Series
Netflix has gone all in with a budget of $150 million for the first season of the One Piece series. This impressive budget raises fans’ expectations but also sparks concerns about how it will be utilized. Special effects, set design, costumes, and casting will be crucial elements in bringing the fantastical world of One Piece to life. Let’s hope that this massive investment will result in a visual and narrative experience that lives up to fans’ expectations.
As the live-action adaptation of One Piece draws closer to its release on Netflix, fans remain divided in their expectations. On one hand, excitement is palpable as they hope to see their favorite manga come to life in an epic and faithful manner. On the other hand, previous manga adaptations and Netflix’s deviations from original storylines have left fans with doubts. One thing is certain: the colossal budget allocated to the first season attests to Netflix’s ambition for this series. The question that remains is whether this adaptation will manage to win over manga fans and join the ranks of great live-action adaptations.

The Success of Harry Potter
Since the success of the books in the 1990s, the Harry Potter franchise has been absolutely everywhere.
