ASMODEE ACQUIRES BOARD GAME ARENA

Tabletop simulators have unsurprisingly soared in popularity recently, a mixture of the increased community of board gamers, and the global pandemic encouraging us to find digital ways to enjoy our game nights. Board Game Arena is one such, and following a 600% growth in 2020, has been acquired by Asmodee.

The site already hosts versions of Asmodee favourites such as Carcassonne, Jaipur, and 7 Wonders, as well as many others, with over 250 total games available on the site. The acquisition will see more arrive on the platform, beginning with Skull and Splendor, being described as a “natural fit” by Thomas Koegler, Head of Strategy at Asmodee.

Asmodee has confirmed Board Game Arena will remain independent, and current management will continue. Pricing and the editorial line will also continue as it stands now.
