Wizama and Asmodee Digital Make Deal to Bring TICKET TO RIDE and More to SquareOne

Board game fans may be interested to hear about SquareOne. This is a new digital board game console from Wizama and it looks interesting. Available through Indiegogo, the SquareOne lets you play board games digitally with friends at a table or online using pawns, cards, dice, etc. just like your analog versions. Wizama has teamed up with a few publishers already and offer bundles such as one that gets you the SquareOne version of Cthulhu Wars, but the latest partner is Asmodee Digital. Now, three titles from Asmodee Digital, Ticket to Ride, Terraforming Mars, and A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition are available to play on the platform. What’s more, you can get a bundle that includes Ticket to Ride and A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition as well. Talking about the deal, Frank Botta of Wizama said:

We are thrilled to announce our licensing partnership with Asmodee Digital. They are such a well-established and respected company within the gaming space and have produced so many diverse titles. Being able to offer a number of games from Asmodee Digital, will allow us to develop exciting and totally new multiplayer games to be experienced around the SquareOne® console.

Asmodee Digital’s Pierre Ortolan stated:

This deal allows us to introduce three of our iconic brands to new audiences. Our strategy leverages our board game DNA to deliver engaging experiences to new players, on all digital platforms. From mobile to consoles and PC, we ensure the core gameplay remains consistent for a truly premium experience while taking advantage of each platform’s strengths. Each of our three games that will be available on SquareOne® rewards strategic thinking while their complementary complexity levels appeal to a wide audience, from new players to veterans

I’m still not entirely sold on SquareOne, although it is still something I haven’t completely written off yet. I’m definitely interested to see if it grows.
