Short description: Game publisher

Plaid Hat Games is a United States-based board game studio. Plaid Hat Games was founded in 2009. Board game designer Colby Dauch formed the board game publishing company in order to release the company's first game, Summoner Wars.[1]

In 2015, Plaid Hat Games was acquired by Canadian game publisher F2Z Entertainment. From 2015 to 2020, Plaid Hat Games operated independently as a design and development studio. F2Z USA Corp manages the business logistics, sales, and marketing of all games released by the game publisher. Due to Plaid Hat Games' integration into F2Z Entertainment, every future Plaid Hat Games board game starting in 2016 is to be simultaneously released by French board game publisher Filosofia.[2]

On February 19, 2020, Head of Studio and Founder Colby Dauch reached an agreement with Asmodee Group to reacquire the independent rights to the Studio and its brand, as well as publication rights to some of their games.[3]
