In 1998, Boelinger won the Simulation Game award with his unreleased game Grande Surface in the Boulogne-Billancourt Game Designers Contest. He started designing games around the age of seven or eight with no intention of becoming a game designer. In Nice, France, Boelinger had a very large gaming club whose members encouraged him to get some his prototype games published. He has also run his own game publishing company with Ludically, although he had his games published by companies from several different countries. Some of his favorite games have included Go, Dungeons & Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering. Boelinger is also known for being an active sportsman, dancer, and singer.
