About IELLO

Founded in Nancy in 2004 by Cédric Barbé and Patrice Boulet, IELLO is now a world-renowned publisher and distributor of board games. The company has moved from distance selling of trading card games to wholesale distribution. In 2008, it diversified once again into the co-publishing of board games, a task that involves translating and adapting games to the French culture. In 2009, this new activity naturally gave rise to another: publishing its own games.

In line with the desire to offer a rich and original catalogue, IELLO continues to develop the localisation and distribution of flagship titles, a long-standing activity for the brand, by stepping up its partnerships with other publishers, both French and international.
