CMON has made headlines by selling its flagship board game, Zombicide, to Asmodee. Initially a hit when launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012, Zombicide has seen many iterations since.

CMON, which was originally known as CoolMiniOrNot.com, surprised fans with this decision as the game has been a cornerstone of its portfolio. Meanwhile, the company is currently facing significant challenges, including delayed crowdfunding rewards and the adverse impacts of US-China tariffs affecting production.

The sale of Zombicide mirrors notable shifts in the industry, akin to seeing an iconic character like Sonic sold by Sega. Asmodee, a major player in tabletop gaming, now adds Zombicide to its collection of popular board games, including Catan and Ticket to Ride.
