F2Z Entertainment Is Now Asmodée Canada

F2Z Entertainment Is Now Asmodée Canada
From gallery of W Eric Martin
In July 2016, the Asmodee Group — which is owned by French investment company Eurazeo — announced that it had entered into exclusive discussions to acquire F2Z Entertainment Inc., the Canadian publisher/distributor that owns the Z-Man Games, Filosofia Éditions, Pretzel Games, and Plaid Hat Games studios. The announcement didn't give a timeline for when this acquisition might take place or why an announcement of the discussions had to be made public.

I had heard from an informed source at SPIEL 2016 that a resolution to this issue would be announced the week of Monday, October 24. While nothing official has yet been made public, two business partners of F2Z Entertainment have shared a document that they received today from the company, the text of which reads:

Quote:
Cher client,
Par la présente, nous vous avisons que notre nom commercial a changé ainsi que notre compte bancaire. Notre adresse, notre numéro de téléphone ainsi que nos adresses courriels restent les mêmes.
À compter de ce jour, notre dénomination sociale est :

ASMODÉE CANADA
Which translated into English reads as follows:

Quote:
Dear customer,
Hereby we inform you that our trade name has changed as well as our bank account. Our address, our phone number, and our email addresses remain the same.
As of today, our company name is:

Asmodée Canada
Again, my understanding is that more details of this acquisition will be made public in the near future.
