The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
CMON launched in 2011 from Taiwan under Eric M. Lang's direction. They make tabletop games and miniatures. Zombicide defined them—a cooperative zombie survival game that rewarded creative killing. The brand exploded through Kickstarter campaigns that set records. Today they dominate European and North American hobby markets. Their miniatures appear in homes across continents. CMON stands as one of 6649 brands tracked weekly across major AI platforms. Lang built something that endured. The games reward tactics. The minis reward painters. The company rewards backers. That formula works. It still works.
