Asmodee announced Access+ Studio, a board game studio that adapts Asmodee’s hit titles to be more accessible to players with cognitive disabilities.
This studio was created based on clinical data gathered by Asmodee’s research and development department, Asmodee Research. Access+ games will be geared toward making Asmodee’s games more accessible for patients with disabilities, their families, and caregivers.
“Access+ is launched because, at Asmodee, we believe board games are universal. By starting to adapt some of our most popular titles to fit the needs of all, we can strive to make board gaming as inclusive and accessible as possible,” said Stephane Carville, CEO of Asmodee. “As an industry leader, we want to create products that can truly make a difference in people’s lives. Board gaming is social by nature, and Access+ titles allow families and friends to re-introduce the fun of board gaming to their loved ones with special needs, creating moments of happiness that can only come from shared experiences.”
The new studio will start by adapting three titles: Spot It! Access+, Cortex Access+, and Timeline Access+. These titles will be available in France, Belgium, and Canada in late 2022 and then, available worldwide in 2023.
Asmodee also recenlty launched Unbox Now, a new board game label, into U.S. retail (see “Unbox Now Board Game Label“).
