Summoner Wars received a spiritual successor in 2018’s Crystal Clans, which was seen off by the publisher upon the release of the final Gem Clan faction in spring 2019.ĭauch added that Summoner Wars: Second Edition would serve as a test run for ideas that, if successful, could lead to the revival of Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn. While the Adventure Book Games brand - which includes Stuffed Fables and last year’s Aftermath - is owned by Asmodee, Dauch said that Plaid Hat held the rights to Adventure Book game Comanauts.Īsked about Plaid Hat’s first plans as an independent studio beyond April’s release of pirate co-op board game Forgotten Waters, Dauch revealed that Mice and Mystics and Stuffed Fables designer Jerry Hawthorne is currently working on a “charming narrative-driven board game” built on “a new game system for delivering those narratives”.Īnother “near-future” project in the works is a second edition of Summoner Wars, the 2009 card game designed by Dauch that was later discontinued. After five years as part of Asmodee, Plaid Hat founder and studio head Colby Dauch recently announced that he had reacquired the company, making it an independent publisher once again.Īs part of the return to independence, Plaid Hat said that it had relinquished the rights to board games including Dead of Winter - which is now controlled by Arkham Horror studio Fantasy Flight Games - and adventure board games Mice and Mystics and Stuffed Fables, which have both landed at Pandemic outlet Z-Man.ĭauch clarified to Dicebreaker that Plaid Hat retained ownership of horror board game Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein, as well as card game Summoner Wars and expandable card game Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn. Plaid Hat was previously owned by board game behemoth Asmodee, under which it published titles such as family board game Stuffed Fables. Newly independent publisher Plaid Hat has teased an upcoming board game from Mice and Mystics designer Jerry Hawthorne, announced a second edition of Summoner Wars and revealed the potential return of Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn.
