CMON Limited, formerly known as CoolMiniOrNot is a publicly listed miniatures and board game publisher, trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It also operates a miniatures related site coolminiornot.com [2] that features user submitted images of their painted models for voting.

History

[edit]

CoolMiniOrNot was founded as a community site for posting images of painted miniatures, inspired by Hot or Not style dating sites.[3][4]

It later began publishing board games and miniature games, notable titles include Super Dungeon Explore[5] in 2011 and Zombicide[6] in 2012.

Some of its games are critically acclaimed, with three games (Xenoshyft, Rum and Bones and Blood Rage) making The Dice Tower's top 10 games of 2015.[7]

On December 2, 2016, CMON Limited began publicly trading on the GEM board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.[8]

CMON published Ethnos in 2017.

Crowdsourcing activity

[edit]

CoolMiniOrNot had used Kickstarter with relative success occupying several places in the Most Funded Tabletop Games category.[9] The total amount raised through Kickstarter was $108,628,027. In 2024, the company moved its crowdsourcing platform exclusively to the Gamefound platform.[10]
