Let's Play Games
Yes, a bit ironic, in that my previous update stressed that I was playing the home game for a while, but after a bit of a convoluted saga, a shipment of games I'd sent to Melbourne, which were augmented by a few dozen more that I brought over when I attended PAX, are now in the hands of the distributor Let's Play Games. Fingers tightly crossed that we may at last have consistent support in that market.
​
In preparing to hand over the stock, I wrote some brief introductions and plugs for Cheeky Parrot and for the five titles in question. This was a good opportunity to really mull over what has made those games successful and whom they are best suited for.​
For example, even though Granny Wars is great in educational settings and with large family groups, we find it's also a hit with adults only groups, so it, along with Flipology, as they both suit up to eight players, are our recommendations for these sort of functions.
We've also discovered, even though designer Norbert intended it as a family game, Flaming Pyramids is now our go-to for competitive couples because at that player count strategic play is most rewarded.
​
We're going to spend the rest of the year getting FARMily Feud ready for manufacture and working out how to celebrate our bestseller Hoard's tenth birthday next year.
