The company was incorporated in 2009, CMON started out selling miniature figurines and published its first Board Game, Super Dungeon Explore, in 2011.

In 2012, it launched a campaign on Kickstarter for it's first in-house developed game, the zombie Adventure Board Game, Zombicide. The campaign was a rousing success with 5,258 backers giving $781,597, a whopping 3,907% of the goal of $20,000.
