Cartamundi Group is a company based in Turnhout, Belgium, that manufactures, produces, and sells board games, card games, collectible card games, packages, and playing cards through its manufacturing and sales subsidiaries. The name of the company in Latin means cards for the world. It is one of the world's largest playing card manufacturers.
The company also maintains manufacturing facilities in Canvey Island (UK), Altenburg (Germany), Kraków (Poland), Mumbai (India), Sōka (Japan), and Dallas (Texas, United States). In 2015, the company acquired Hasbro's board game factories in Waterford, Ireland and East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. However in August 2023, the former Hasbro facility in Ireland was closed, losing 235 jobs.
In the early-to-mid 1990s, Cartamundi produced collectible card games for other companies. Their Belgian factory printed early editions of Magic: The Gathering for Wizards of the Coast, and Decipher, Inc.'s Star Trek Customizable Card Game and Star Wars Customizable Card Game, and currently prints non-English language editions of Magic. English Magic sets are printed in Dallas.
