Sorry, it's a little bit off-topic but how does Slitherine relates to Matrixgames ? Last days I went to Slitherine web and all titles were the same I can see and buy at Matrix's.
Thanks.
nukkxx.

Slitherine owns Matrix (and Ageod, for that matter)so they're essentially all one and the same..

OK thanks. I would have thought the opposite that matrix owns Slitherine.

I knew AGEOD is now part of Matrix portfolio after been abandoned (or so) by Paradox. As a French I really respect Philippe Thibaut and his original Europa Universalis board game (don't like too much Paradox PC game remake. Real time's ruining the game IMO). A EU turn based game would be absolutely fantastic. Anyway, it probably won't happen (Philippe si tu me lis?) ...

I'm a long time supporter of AGEOD games. I'm happy they joined Matrixgames/Slitherine as I'm confident they will find effective support.

So now I understand why I find similar titles on both Matrix and Slitherine e-shops.
It's a bit strange they didn't merge all brands in one single unique trade name / website.

Slitherine bought Matrix out..they are really called Slitherine group. Matrix is really just the American side of Slitherines business.
