Lets face it, there a LOT of publishers joined together under the Asmodee label. Just swing by the Asmodee booth(s) in the dealer hall and it’s pretty obvious. So much so that we’ll be diving into Asmodee titles for at least two days. While some titles, like Azul Kids or Dixit Kids are explicitly Asmodee games there are more out there that are distributed by Asmodee. Moodbox Games has two lightweight games in the word-association Link Out Loud and Hundo, a Price-is-Right type card game where players are trying to get a “hund”red points. Rebel Studio had the slightly heavier adventure-esque The Trial of the Forest and the tile-laying, apartment-building Happiest Cat in the World. Zygomatic had the lightweight card game, Crashed Out, where players attempt to get the lowest sum of their hidden cards. Spot it: Connect! Power Up takes the hexagon-matching of Spot it! Connect and adds in some special black-background hexagons that change up how tiles are placed. Finally, their Only Colors is a minimalist cooperative party game where players try to give clues by stacking colored sticks. The game with the best presence was LEGO Ninjago Destiny’s Bounty Adventures from Dotted Games. Players take on the role of the ninjas and work through a series of scenarios defending the ship from pirate (or other) attack.
