Libellud is the publisher of Spiel Des Jahres winner Dixit (see "’Dixit’ Wins 2010 Spiel Des Jahres"), Mysterium, Seasons, Obscurio and others, 24 games and 15 extensions in all. Asmodee has been distributing Libellud games in many territories since the company’s founding in 2008.

"We are delighted to welcome Libellud into the Group," Asmodee CEO Stephane Carville said of the latest acquisition. "Since its creation, Libellud has continuously demonstrated its great talent as publisher of a distinctive catalogue merging innovative rules and unique graphic designs."
