Embracer and Asmodee sell Miniature Market

Miniature Market

In some surprising news, Miniature Market has been sold by Asmodee and its parent company Embracer. The fact Asmodee owned Miniature Market was discovered when Embracer purchased the game publisher in December 2021 and it looks like Asmodee purchased Miniature Market some time earlier in 2021. Asmodee Group became part of Embracer in March 2022, forming the 9th Operative Group.

Today news broke that Miniature Market was being sold to Christophe Arnoult and Maud Decombe and under new ownership effective March 13. The reason for the sale of the 20-year old store is unknown.

From the announcement email:

Christophe got his start opening a specialized gaming store in Rouen, combining his passion for entrepreneurship and board games. Since then, his 30-year career has taken him across the globe and given him the chance to see all aspects of the gaming industry.

Maud’s career is a lot like a mullet, 10 years of boardgame industry experience in the front, and a love for board gaming and fun in the back. She is excited to bring her insights to Miniature Market, and make the shopping experience great for new, and loyal customers alike.

Though information is scant, it seems Christophe and Maud were both formally associated with Asmodee and Embracer and taking over this former division. Arnoult was the Executive Manager for Asmodee at one point and Maud Decombe was the Business Development Manager.

Seal Away The Whispering Tyrant in Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors this April

In partnership with Paizo, BKOM Studios has announced that Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors will be launching on April 4th. Experience the renowned world of Pathfinder through a whole new lens as the exhilarating roguelite bullet hell survivor exits Early Access. Delve into Gallowspire playing solo or with a friend and confront the whispering tyrant Tar-Baphon.

As it exits Early Access, Pathfinder: Gallowspire Survivors introduces a host of highly requested features from the community, as well as UI improvements, overall gameplay balancing, and Steam Deck compatibility. Players may now brave the depths of Gallowspire with a friend in both local co-op and Steam Remote Play. Escape incoming damage in a blink of an eye with the all-new dash mechanic, and gain run-deciding buffs with a strategic sip from the potion belt. With the addition of dedicated chapters, faster character progression, hyper mode, and new Pathfinder’s collectible cards with official artworks that provide permanent upgrades, every attempt towards sealing away the disgraced lich-emperor brings great reward.

Within the depths of Gallowspire lies the disgraced mythic lich Tar-Baphon, one of Pathfinder’s most ancient and powerful villains. While sealed away beneath his ancient seat of power, he has been deftly plotting his grand return. As the magic that contains him begins to fail, three fearless heroes will rise to the occasion, tasked with venturing into Gallowspire’s depths to defeat Tar-Baphon and repair the wards that seal him away.

Step into the role as one of three daring heroes and battle through the horrors of Gallowspire. The Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue all come with their own strengths and talents that will aid them in their efforts against Tar-Baphon. Choose an ally to fight alongside you as you slay hordes of Tar-Baphon’s undead minions, collect and upgrade your arsenal of spells and weapons, and extinguish Gallowspire’s callous bosses. There will be many failures throughout your journey, but aided by an ancient medallion, the heroes can escape death and grow stronger with each attempt.
