While we’ve seen Asmodee seemingly consume the big publishers, small publishers have popped up from time to time as well. Yesterday Plan B Games announced their brand, as well as a game series they’ll be publishing from a well-known designer.
Plan B Games is proud to announce the launch if it’s new boardgame publishing house.

Emerson Matsuuchi presents Century, the trilogy, a stand-alone mixable game that explores the history of the most famous trading markets across the eras.
Century: Spice Road, first title in the trilogy, is set in the 15th century, during the apex of the first commercial trade road. In this highly addictive game, you will be fascinated by the ingenious hand-management mechanisms and it’s powerful combos. Literally impossible to put the box away!
Century: Spice Road will release internationally June 14, 2017.
To get the Century games from Emerson is a huge win for Plan B Games. I’m looking forward to see what other games they have up their sleeve.
