I know this news is about as surprising as hearing that the sky is blue, but Asmodee has acquired another company in their quest to be the biggest and best game company out there. This time around they acquired the company Bezzerwizzer Nordic, publishers of their name-sake game
Bezzerwizzer and the party game
Hint. Bezzerwizzer is a trivia style game with some added mechanics, and is a favorite of Eric Summerer, and Hint is a party game about getting others to guess what you are hinting at without saying the forbidden word. Bezzerwizzer saw an English language release back in 2008 and Hint has not been released in English. Also with Asmodee already distributing for Bezzerwizer Nordic, it will be a quick jump to distributing their games to all the other countries Asmodee is present in. So a new edition of Bezzerwizzer and an English language version of Hint may be on the horizon. See the press release below for more information.
