Funskool India said on Oct 16 that it has teamed with Asmodee, a French tabletop games manufacturer, to bring Dobble, a quick observation game, to the Indian market. The game will be manufactured and distributed in India by Funskool India.

"We are confident that this will pave the way for more such collaborations and provide a significant boost to our Make in India initiatives," said R. Jeswant, CEO of Funskool India, in a statement.

The MRF company promotes Funskool, which began operations in 1987 with manufacturing sites in Goa and Ranipet.

"India being a crucial market for Asmodee, we look forward to this collaboration and see Dobble emerging as a sought-after game in India through this partnership, as it is in many other parts of the world," said Alexia Ebner, Head of International Sales for the Asmodee group.

Dobble is a board game released by Zygomatic, an Asmodee Group studio. The observation game was first introduced in France in 2009, and it has since sold over 38 million units worldwide.
