BREAKING GAMES’ THE GAME OF 49AVAILABLE AT TARGET STORES THIS SUMMER  Award-Winning Game Publisher Debuts Its First Game On Target Shelves In June

image

Breaking Games, an award-winning game publisher and manufacturer, announced that Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), one of the largest retailers in the nation, will carry its game, The Game of 49, starting June 18, 2016.

image

“We launched Breaking Games at last year’s Toy Fair, and in less than a year and a half, we are now announcing that one of our games – The Game of 49 – will be on Target store shelves this month,” said Shari Spiro, CEO of Breaking Games. “One of our ongoing goals at Breaking Games is to find the very best indie game talent and help bring it to the masses. After dozens of acclaimed trade show appearances worldwide, The Game of 49 garnered incredible support and enthusiasm from the Game Department at Target. By launching this game in the mass retail market, we helped make a designer’s lifelong dream come true.”

The Game of 49 will be available at Target starting June 18, 2016, for an MSRP of $20.  The game plays from two to five players, ages 10 and up.  The Game of 49also is a 2015 Mensa Recommended honoree. 

“We launched The Game of 49 via Kickstarter about two years ago; to go from a self-published edition of 1,500 copies to being on Target store shelves is just mind-boggling,” said the game’s inventor, Mark Corsey.  “I’m beyond thrilled that Breaking Games and Target are making it possible for game players coast to coast to take The Game of 49 challenge —to bid, bluff, and buy their way to four in a row.”

Game Play Details:

·       Players begin The Game of 49 with $49 cash and a supply of chips. With each turn, a number card is revealed and auctioned.

·       The winning bidder claims the card and places a chip on the matching space on the seven-by-seven (49-square) game board.

·       Wild cards give the auction winner a choice of where to place a chip, and also award all players a payoff of $7 for each chip they have on the board, up to a maximum payoff of (you guessed it!) $49.

·       The first player to claim four spaces in a row, in any direction, wins the game!

“My experience – printing millions of games in the last five years – convinced me that The Game of 49 is truly the new classic in family board games.  It raises the bar, and will become a standard by which many family games are measured for decades to come,” continued Ms. Spiro. “There’s no better retailer than Target to bring it to families across the country.”

American Greetings Entertainment Partners with Preschool App Leader, Night & Day Studios
Los Angeles — June 2, 2016 – From the company behind the beloved global brand Care Bears, in
partnership with the creators of bestselling preschool app Peekaboo Barn, comes a brand new
learning game and alphabet storybook app for young learners: Lemon Lumberjack’s Letter Mill.

through multiple stages of language acquisition. Pre-readers learn letter recognition, along with
the sounds letters make, through age-appropriate matching games. In higher levels, older
children learn to connect letters with the sounds they make and build fundamental spelling and
reading skills. Lemon Lumberjack’s Letter Mill is an exciting way to develop reading proficiency.

“It’s great to see the talent in our creative and editorial studios at AGE come together to ideate
this new IP and produce amazing content,” explained Megan Buettner, Head of Creative and
New Media, American Greetings Entertainment. “Night & Day Studios is truly one of the best
preschool digital app creators in the business, and we all are excited to partner with them to
introduce the world to Lloyd (the Lemon Lumberjack) and his friends.”
In the app, players can collect 26 character storybook pages to hear silly stories about the
Letter Mill friends, as well as explore 54 levels with a broad range of play modes. Children will
meet charming letter-loving characters, discover hidden surprises, dance along to original music
and be rewarded by wild animations that encourage and cheer their progress.

“This app is a true creative collaboration between AGE and Night & Day Studios,” said Brianne
Baker, Creative Director of Night & Day Studios. “Our team loved Lemon Lumberjack from first
glance, and we knew right away that this new IP deserved our handcrafted approach. The
challenge of animating the unique, photo-realistic, highly textured visual style was greatly
rewarding, and we think the stunning results will have huge appeal for kids and parents.”
