The Origin of Gabaky: A Fun Family Adventure
How did a simple day of games between father and son give rise to a popular pastime?
What started out as a moment of complicity turned into a real adventure. An idea, a few tests, a lot of passion... and soon, a captivating game was born.
But how did a simple throw give rise to a phenomenon that today brings together young and old alike in a challenge that is as fun as it is addictive? Discover Gabaky's fascinating story!
Here's how it all began...
The Gabaky story - From idea to game that brings people together
A creative Sunday
November 2018, a family salon: Sébastien and his five-year-old son Gabriel are in the middle of a play session.
Faced with the lack of holes for playing traditional marbles, they decided to reinvent curling as seen on TV, using marbles.
Their living room is quickly transformed with a few A4 sheets taped to the floor, on which a multicoloured target is carefully drawn. The game begins, filled with laughter and improvised strategies.
A colour problem
The game soon turns complicated, as all the marbles are the same colour. Gabriel, unhappy with the idea of using scotch tape to differentiate them, urges his father to look for an alternative.
Suggestions came thick and fast: a cork, a sock.... But nothing seemed to work. Then Gabriel had a stroke of genius: why not use Dad's juggling balls? These soft balls lend themselves perfectly to improvised play.
The result is Gabaky, a game that combines pétanque, shuffleboard and curling in a silent, safe format for children.
A decisive meeting
Motivated by this invention, Sébastien and his partner Willy are devoting 2019 to developing a prototype. They presented their creation at the Foire internationale de Rennes, to an enthusiastic reception.
Gabaky, with its simple but strategic rules, has become a popular indoor game for everyone, becoming a constant companion on their travels. During a professional event, an impromptu Gabaky match was played in the presence of Christian Karembeu, famous world football champion in 1998.
Seduced by the originality and fun of the game, Christian received one of the first copies of Gabaky as a gift. Conquered, he later contacted Sébastien to tell him how much his family and friends loved the game and wanted to buy some.
The future of Gabaky
Moved by his enthusiasm, the partners asked Christian Karembeu to become the Gabaky ambassador. Joined beforehand by other Breton enthusiasts, Baptiste, Jacques and Julien, they formed a team ready to propel the Gabaky onto the Breton, national and international scenes.
On the strength of this prestigious collaboration and the passion shared by players of all ages, Gabaky promises to create unforgettable moments, not only in homes, but also in communities, schools, old people's homes...
Today, the adventure continues, ready to welcome new fans and enrich evenings with family and friends with this fun, accessible and above all exciting game.
