=== "La p'tite Ludothèque" Collection ===
The "la p'tite Ludothèque" collection was the one consisting of easily transportable and storable family games, as it was mainly characterised by the format of its metal boxes, which were smaller than a standard game box. Today, games like Codis Naturalis and Conspiracy, even if published in the same form, are not really part of this collection in terms of their editorial line. This makes this designation obsolete for the games still published by the studio.
