Here's part of the press release announcing this deal:
After moving to a new house in April 2019, I re-discovered the mock-up of 7 Wonders that I had received in August 2010 in order to preview it on BGN. Later I had received mock-ups of the Leaders and Cities expansions as well, mock-ups that were then revised in the tiniest of ways before they went to print, but I knew that those changes had come about through repeated playtests. (I'm traveling at the moment, so I can't post a picture of it. Later!)
In any case, on with the press release:
Present in 18 countries on 4 continents (Europe, North America, South America and Asia), the Asmodee Group has 14 publishing studios worldwide and distributes its products in more than 50 countries.
"We are delighted to welcome Repos Production to the Group. This acquisition is the logical outcome of a fruitful collaboration that has been going on for many years. We share the same playful culture and a common ambition to offer the best games to as many people as possible. Through this acquisition we will continue to grow our intellectual property portfolio with world-renowned titles. Within the Asmodee Group's ecosystem of 14 studios, Repos Production will thus be able to benefit from synergies enabling it to express all its creativity, the hallmark of its identity, by inventing tomorrow's hits", underlines Stéphane Carville, CEO of Asmodee Group.
Cédrick Caumont is leaving Repos Production to develop an independent studio, Captain Games, combining game publishing and consulting.
Thomas Provoost joins the Asmodee Group as Studios Coordinator. His mission will be to support the studios in implementing the group's editorial strategy, coordinate all releases and catalogues, and share his publishing expertise with studio managers.
Repos Production will be headed by Thomas Vermeir, who has worked with Repos Production for 15 years as an external consultant, with the support of Géraldine Volders.
