Asmodee

Spiel takes place in Essen from October 24th to 27th, and the stream will run from 9am to 6pm (UK time) on Thursday through Saturday, and 9am to 5pm on Sunday.

Firm’s successful year has been driven by the success of Dobble and the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

The philosophy behind Unexpected Games arose from Konieczka’s desire for a studio focused on innovation and idea incubation.

Aconyte will start a monthly publication schedule from early summer 2020, producing paperbacks and ebooks for the US, UK and export trade.

Dobble has now sold over 1 million copies in the UK, and finished 2018 as the UK’s top selling game by value, according to NPD data.

“The great pedigree of educational games in Searainbow’s portfolio will enable us to strengthen our offer with additional transgenerational ranges in both Europe and Asia,” said Asmodee’s Stephane Carville.

The game recently sold its one-millionth copy in the UK.

Asmodee will be streaming live on Twitch from Spiel, in Essen, from the October 25th to 28th.

Peterson leaves to focus on “family, health, and the pursuit of other interests.”

“Asmodee represents a unique opportunity to invest in a fast-growing platform within the gaming industry, as part of PAI’s strategy to invest in attractive consumer goods industries,” said PAI’s Gaëlle d’Engremont.
