My Passion for Gaming

Gaming has been a part of my life since childhood, sparking my creativity and strategic thinking. Whether it's board games or video games, gaming has always been a way for me to relax, challenge myself, and connect with others.

Video Games: My Creative Playground

Video games have always been my playground for creativity. I love immersing myself in worlds where I can think, plan, and build from the ground up. Whether it's designing complex game engines or creating synergies, I’m fascinated by the art of strategic thinking. I particularly enjoy strategy and deckbuilding games, where every decision counts, and synergy plays a key role in success.

In addition to playing, I am also deeply passionate about studying game design. I love exploring how different game mechanics interact with each other and how they are all tied to the narrative purpose of the game. It’s amazing to see how well-designed mechanics can enhance the storytelling experience, making the gameplay feel seamless and meaningful.

Building intricate systems and engines in these games gives me a sense of accomplishment as I see them come to life. It’s the perfect balance of creativity and strategy!

Currently, I’m deep into strategy games—especially those that allow for long-term planning and decision-making. Here are some of my favorites right now:

Board Games: Connecting Through Strategy and Play

Board games are more than just entertainment for me—they're a way to engage with friends, family, or even strangers in a fun and competitive environment. I’ve always enjoyed exploring new games, and there's always a perfect game for every occasion!

I even organized a board games week at the Aérothèque @ISAE-Supaero, and I'm eager to participate in more events like this!
