French board game publisher Don’t Panic Games is announcing the opening of its United States-based office, kicking off the tabletop game label’s North American distribution. Don’t Panic announced its NA expansion plans in a press release, adding that the strategy “marks an important milestone” for the brand. According to the release, players can expect to see special selections from Don’t Panic’s diverse and accessible board game catalog on the shelves of North American retailers “starting in early 2026.”
As part of its new stateside endeavor, Don’t Panic “aims to build long-term partnerships with distributors, retailers, and content creators across the United States and Canada.” Overall, the brand says its new North American office will foster closer collaboration with local partners, streamline logistics, and improve communication and development. As far as Don’t Panic’s offerings go, the brand plans to introduce its new English-speaking North American audience — “families, casual gamers, and light-to-mid strategy players” — to tabletop titles with “clear rules, table presence, and easy-to-demo gameplay.”

The company, cofounded by Cédric Littardi, offers myriad games for all skill levels, gameplay experiences, price points, and audiences. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist tackling a tabletop title solo or you’ve got a crew of newbies waiting in the wings, you’re sure to find something among Don’t Panic’s diverse catalog.
