Distribution partnership between Asmodee and Ulisses Spiele
Asmodee is taking over the distribution of selected titles from Ulisses Spiele and the Ulisses brand Ottavio.
Ulisses Spiele is one of the leading German publishers in the fields of role-playing, fantasy and science fiction. The company’s best-known series include Das Schwarze Auge and Pathfinder. The aim of the collaboration is to position these titles more strongly in specialist retail through Asmodee’s distribution network and to increase their visibility in the long term.
“Important step for greater attention”
“With Asmodee, we are gaining a distribution partner who knows the trade very well and can bring our programmes into the market in a structured and reliable way. For us, this is an important step to give both our established brands and new game series with innovative concepts a broadly based level of attention,” says Johannes Kaub, managing director of Ulisses Spiele.
The Ottavio brand is to be managed independently within the partnership. It stands for accessible, narrative board and adventure games that are also intended to appeal to newcomers. The Ottavio range includes series such as Adventure in a Box, Story in a Box, Heldenqueste and Aventuria. The portfolio is complemented by standalone titles such as Backstab Heroes, Koboldjäger or Level Up!.
