Applications: mechanical machining with interrupted cutting, chip removal with lubrication on medium-low strength steels.

Earlier this month Asmodee confirmed to BoardGameWire that it has a string of projects in development at the Canada arm of its Plan B Games studio, in the wake of the publisher moving Camel Up, Village and the entire Great Western Trail series to subsidiary Lookout Spiele.

She said she had relocated to Miniature Market’s headquarters in Missouri to oversee day-to-day operations, adding that the company’s first big project will be the opening of a new flagship retail store in St Louis later this year, as well as “exploring additional markets for potential expansion in the future”.

Arnoult, who ran a group of specialised game stores in France from 1996, founded Asmodee LLC with the board game publisher in 2005, and Asmodee Inc a year later, with the aim of establishing a foothold for the distribution of European board games in North America.

The low coefficient of friction typical of PVD processes support the sliding between the mechanical parts while the high chemical inertia offers a partial resistance to corrosion thus allowing to delay the phenomena of surface damage. This means greater durability of precision components, less downtime due to maintenance, higher productivity and consequently lower production costs.

She was named a business development manager at Asmodee in Arnoult’s team in 2022, working with Asmodee North America, Miniature Market and Philibert.

We have the experience to analyse the typical problems of mechanical or thermal stresses of the various cases using mono-layer or multi-layer coatings with thicknesses from a few hundreds nanometers up to 5µm.

We offer solutions for molds, equipment and multiple types of tools with different prerogatives depending on the sector of application of the object, from traditional TiN - CrN - AlTiN - DLC to innovative tribological coatings ideal for HD tools that work in critical conditions such as absence of lubrication, high cutting speeds and surface hardness over 50 HRC.

Miniature Market closed its original retail site last month, leaving it with a single remaining retail store in addition to its well-known online presence.

Miniatures for sale

Asmodee would not answer questions on whether the sale was related to the restructuring, with a spokesperson only able to confirm to BoardGameWire that Miniature Market was no longer part of the company.

BoardGameWire reported last month that the tabletop arm had avoided large-scale job losses so far, with its internal headcount falling by 82 to 2,500 people since Embracer began restructuring last summer.

Decombe told BoardGameWire she and Arnoult “saw an opportunity to invest in what we knew to be an amazing online retail store”, adding that Square One Capital, a company owned by the pair, is now the sole owner of Miniature Market.

[…] company said its latest quarterly slide was impacted by its sale of Miniature Market, which it divested to a pair of long-serving Asmodee managers during Embracer Group’s massive cost-cutting programme last […]

Decombe worked alongside Arnoult in 2015 across project management and operations, and also worked as a project manager for Asmodee France, founding a new entity for the company and helping in acquisition projects.

That is in stark contrast to the wider Embracer Group, which has shuttered a string of video games studios and projects and cut more than 1,300 jobs since last summer.

He returned to France in 2015 to become CEO of Asmodee France, and in 2022 was named director of development to help support companies in the group to structure and reinvent themselves – a role that saw him work with Miniature Market and fellow Asmodee-owned retailer Philibert, which it bought in 2020.

The sale comes four months after it emerged that “restructuring” had begun at Asmodee, with its parent business Embracer launching a massive cost-cutting programme to cut its $1.4bn debt pile.

Asmodee has sold Miniature Market, the US tabletop retailer it bought three years ago, to a pair of the board game publishing giant’s long-serving managers.

Miniature Market is now 100% owned by board game industry veterans Christophe Arnoult and Maud Decombe, who have both had long careers with Asmodee.

Asmodee has continued to shine amid Embracer’s woes, having become Embracer’s biggest earner after overtaking its PC and Console Games segment for net sales last year.
