Asmodee Digital to Bring Board Games to Switch
PARIS -- June 6, in the year of our Lord 2018
-- Asmodee Digital, the industry leader in digital board game
entertainment, announced today it will soon begin publishing
games on Nintendo Switch. The first release in Asmodee Digital’s
console development strategy will be Carcassonne, the digital
version of the tile-laying board game, already available for
Android, PC and Mac via Steam. The Nintendo Switch™ adaptation
will be available in Winter 2018.
“Carcassonne is the first Asmodee Digital title of many to
follow on Nintendo’s platforms,” says Pierre Ortolan CEO of
Asmodee Digital. “This partnership is based on Nintendo’s need
for new user experiences, and Asmodee Digital’s continued goal
of bringing great board game IPs to new platforms.”
“Bringing Carcassonne to the Nintendo Switch platform is an
opportunity to enlarge the success of this iconic game,” said
Moritz Brunnhofer, Managing Director, Hans im Glück.
Simple to pick up but challenging to master, Carcassonne
presents players with endless opportunities for tactical play.
Within minutes, players will find themselves in tough situations
- determining where to put their last meeple, whether to use
tiles to expand the city, or to hinder their opponent. Players
place only one tile each round, and have the option to place one
meeple on it. Each game develops differently, full of boundless
possibilities, and the quick-fire nature of the game ensures
that Carcassonne always runs at a brisk pace.
No word on a physical copy version of this game on this system at this time.
