2022: Tabletop giant Asmodee is bought by video gaming behemoth Embracer Group

2024: Embracer loads up Asmodee with nearly $1 billion in debt and spins it off as a separate company

It's certainly a creative solution to the financial challenges of the video game industry: unload their debt onto board games.

Such a joyful sight: my older kid (rising junior in college) is in the house with no fewer than twelve friends for a daylong boardgame session. I just got home and don't know what they've played already, but right now it's DUNE and ROOT on parallel tables.

It's a very mixed crowd, running the whole range from math nerd to art punk. The gender mix is 1/3 male, 1/3 female, 1/3 you'll have to ask. And to think that I used to worry that my kid was a little too introverted.
Much prefer my Nazis Nuremberged.
