Toulouse: Richard Champion brings the United States into play
Toulouse’s Richard Champion is still struggling to believe it. One of his tactics games has been adapted for the American market. A great success.
Maybe his name, Champion has something to do with it. In any case, the Toulousain Richard Champion has just had a great success. One of its tactical games, created in 2017, which makes memory work, Globe Twister, released almost everywhere in France and Europe, has just seduced the United States: “The Americans discovered this game following a festival, he explains. And seduced, they agreed to adopt its principle. This is called buying a license. In the jargon, one buys a license either to use the name, as for Harry Potter, or for its concept, as in the case of Globe Twister”.
“It is rare for a French author to be retained on the American market”
We can then exploit the game and adapt it to the country’s market, of course preserving its universe and its identity but changing its name: “In the case of Globe Twister, it will now be called Pic Twist and will be distributed by Usapoly “. Two licenses have been created: one with the Bob Ross Museum, named after a famous painter in the United States who died in 1995, whose paintings will be used for this game. The other license will be with different National Parks (Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, etc.) that will sell this game in their store. “I am cited in the rule as a creator, enthuses Richard, who works in logistics and whose game creation takes a very big place. I am obviously very proud and not only for the financial products. It is rare for a French author to be retained on the American market. It is a complicated and demanding country. This success encourages me to continue in this playful universe »
