Libellud Goes Exclusive with Asmodee

French publisher Libellud has released only a single game to date, but it’s an impressive one, namely Jean-Louis Roubira’s multi-award winning Dixit. An expansion for that game with more illustrations, Dixit 2, is scheduled to be released in 2010, and to allow the company to focus more of its time on design and development, Libellud’s Régis Bonnessé has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Asmodee. As noted on the Asmodee website, “The small publisher will of course retain full editorial control and will thus be able to concentrate entirely on what it does best: invent games based upon the imagination. Asmodee will look after all aspects of production and marketing of Libellud’s future creations on a global scale thanks to its international network.”

Asmodee signed a similar agreement with Swiss publisher GameWorks in 2008 and has since distributed its releases Kimaloé and Jaipur. The Asmodeepress release notes that the first Libellud title handled under the agreement will be “a game based around fairy tales.”
