ASMODEE AT SPIEL
Bestsellers with Entirely New Facets
New releases distributed by Asmodee elicit new qualities from established hits: TICKET TO RIDE can now also be played in a legacy version, DIXIT with popular Disney and Pixar characters. CHALLENGERS!, the current Kennerspiel des Jahres, launches a turbulent card tournament on the beach. Magic fans will get their money’s worth with SPELLBOOK, while the collectible card game STAR WARS UNLIMITED brings together content from the entire franchise.
Before an official release in November, TICKET TO RIDE LEGACY: LEG- ENDS OF THE WEST celebrates its sales debut in Essen. In twelve games, it takes players on an adventure in late 19th cen- tury America, where they have to expand their own railroad company and make it profitable. To do this, rail networks need to be laid for steam locomotives to transport merchants, officials, food and other goods. The ongoing story is shaped differently by one’s own decisions on each run.
