About us
Fedora Games is an independent board game publisher based in Mont-sur-Rolle, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland.
It all started with two friends from Vaud, Joël Ferrari and David Amaral, who shared one passion: creating board games. The idea of founding an independent publishing house soon became obvious, to bring original projects to life that reflect our values. Together with Vincent Bourgeois, designer of Lucha Furia, they founded Fedora Games as a limited company in June 2026, with three partners.
What we do: publish board games and champion the work of Swiss designers, illustrators and creators. We support every project from start to finish: editorial and art direction, graphic design, manufacturing, promotion and distribution.
To us, a game is much more than entertainment: it is a social driver, a cultural object, a way to bring people together. Every project is a chance for great encounters and human, creative collaborations that help our catalogue grow.
Fedora Games is an adventure rooted in Switzerland and open to the world. Designers, shops, distributors or simply curious: write to us about a collaboration, or just to talk games!
Partner · Gestion de projet, développement et production
Trained in Fine Arts, I am an artist working across various visual art forms. My passion for board games, acting as a social driver, a cultural object, and an educational and therapeutic medium, led me to volunteer as a facilitator. I subsequently worked at the publisher Helvetiq as a visual content creator and sales representative. The desire to create my own games led me to co-found Fedora Games.
Partner · Direction artistique
A trained graphic designer, I have always been driven by the desire to create, whether it's visual identities, artisanal mustards, a science fiction novel, or board games. I've been passionate about game creation since I was a child, initially crafting them for my family. This childhood dream finally came to life with Fedora Games, allowing me to combine my game ideas with my design skills.
Partner · Direction stratégie commerciale, distribution et financière
Vincent Bourgeois is a passionate Swiss game designer and now also a full member of the Fedora Games team. Although he has been passionate about games since childhood, his first experience as an author dates back to 2017. While expecting his first child, he wanted to leave them a creation and started developing a first 4x game and other small games. The real turning point came in 2019, when at his very first board games event, a game developer from Blue Orange tried out one of his games and told him it had potential. In 2023, Vincent won his first game designer competition in France (Ludinam) with a small family game. In 2024 in Switzerland, he met a young publisher, Fedora Game, and signed several games together. His favourite games are strategic ones, but with his young children he loves to play all kinds of games.
