Stacks of board games has been piling up in Antoine Gallée living room since the launch of his platform “Refaites Vos Jeux” since November 2020 on Facebook.

Antoine is always passionate about board games and a creator of three games. Working in the games and toys sorting section at the Coop 5 pour 100, the resource center in Caen (Calvados), he brought back boxes of certain parts to his home and started the Facebook page since then for customers who lost some pieces of the game board. “I take care of sorting the games that we receive at the Coop. As we couldn’t sell the incomplete ones, I had the idea of ​​creating a spare parts sales department,” said Antoine during an interview with Le Parisien.

He has a hundred games, listed in a catalog on the Facebook page, mainly in French. And he received hundreds of messages per day from people who are missing their game pieces. “Le Dix de chute, for example, if a chip is missing, you can’t play it anymore. And someone asked me for a wheel that had broken on their copy. I dismantled the wheels of the one I had collected to send them to him.”
