VR Distribution now asmodee in Australia
Australian tabletop and games distributor VR Distribution, whose logo adorns my copies of No Thanks!, Bohnanza and Wizard has officially rebranded to asmodee in Australia. Whilst VR joined the asmodee group way back in 2022, it has waited until now to make the leap over. asmodee is one of the best known publishers of boardgames in the world, their stable holding such legendary titles as CATAN, Ticket to Ride and Pandemic, including its latest sensational Lord of the Rings themed outing Fate of the Fellowship, which is a must-buy for Rings fans.
This rebranding unites Australia and New Zealand under a single, shared identity across studios, distributors and partners. Mark Rosser, Australian Country Manager of asmodee (previously VR Distribution) in Australia said “This rebrand is more than just a name change, it’s a chance to unite our local community with a global group that lives and breathes games. As asmodee, we’re unlocking even bigger opportunities for Australian players and retailers, connecting them to the world’s most iconic titles, bold new releases and unforgettable experiences. At the heart of it, nothing changes, we’re still here for the players, but now with the strength, creativity and passion of a worldwide network behind us.”
asmodee will continue to bring Australia some of the best games of the past and present from studios including Z-Man Games (Pandemic Legacy, Carcassonne, Citadels, Love Letter), Days of Wonder (Five Tribes, HEAT: Pedal to the Metal, Battle of Hoth), Exploding Kittens, Fantasy Flight Games (Arkham Horror LCG, Marvel Champions, Unfathomable), Space Cowboys (Spellbook, Jaipur, Archeos Society, Splendor Duel) and many more. With partnerships spanning Disney, Marvel and more, asmodee transforms beloved universes into unforgettable board game experiences that let fans and families alike unite around their dining tables like never before.
