The history of the company
In parallel to its activity of software consulting for big companies (Orange, RATP), a website is launched in October 2003 with online games. Poptalks Football, Poptalks Cinema and Poptalks Family will allow Internet users to win gifts to be chosen on the Fnac.com site, until the beginning of 2006.
For 13 years, the activity will then be focused on software consulting, for numerous projects with big companies (Orange, Degrémont subsidiary of Suez, CMA-CGM, Arianespace, Michelin).
During this period, Alexis developed a passion for modern board games, as a player at the beginning, but also as an animator, through an experience at the Nain Jaune bar in Marseille in 2015 and at the PEL festival in 2016.
Alexis Suard decided to create and publish his first board game called EMPEDOCLE which was released in September 2020. During the Covid period, other creations are born but Alexis waits for the resumption of festivals to present them and relaunch a new production, Mandalas, in 2022.

This website opens at the same time to allow online sales, Facebook publications on the Poptalks Empedocle account and on Linkedin are still made in parallel.
The software consulting activity is still the main activity of POPTALKS today even if several board game projects are planned in the next months.
