Asmodee is continuing its expansion through the acquisition of the digital multiplayer board game platform, Board Game Arena (BGA).
BGA offers players access to the official online versions of more than 250 games in more than 40 languages to more than 5 million members worldwide. Asmodee titles, including Carcassonne, Jaipur, and 7 Wonders are already available on the service.
“Working with Asmodee allows us to continue our massive growth, with a partner that shares our love and passion for board gaming,” say Grégory Isabelli and Emmanuel Colin, BGA co-founders. “Asmodee fulfills a sine qua non-criteria for us: that BGA is always run by absolute board game fans whose core business is board games.”
Asmodee Head of Strategy Thomas Koegler says that additional Asmodee titles will be quick to arrive on the platform, including Skull and Splendor which will be released within the next few weeks.
BGA will operate as an independent subsidiary of Asmodee with no pricing, editorial, or staffing changes.
