Gamewright inks exclusive world-wide publishing deal for Knightweaver’s Patchwork Game
Newton, MA – Gamewright recently signed an exclusive agreement for the world-wide publishing rights for Knightweaver Games’ popular independent card game, Patchwork. While the game play will remain the same, Gamewright will change the title to FlipSide and launch it in late 2010 / early 2011.
“We’re excited to bring this fantastic family game into the Gamewright family”, says Jason Schneider, marketing and product development manager for Gamewright. “It’s a title with the rare combination of a uniquely challenging game play that appeals across the ages. I look forward to building upon its success and introducing it to a wider audience.”
FlipSide is a light family strategy game of pattern matching and never-ending surprises. In the game, players draw cards and rearrange them to get four, five, or six of the same pattern in a row. However, each card has patterns on both sides, and anyone can take, and use, any card they can see. The game has won a variety of distinguished awards from such organizations as The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Dr. Toy, and Creative Child Magazine, and has been gaining strong sales momentum in specialty toy and game stores throughout the United States.
“I’m honored and thrilled that Gamewright has added my game to their catalog of great games,” says inventor, Daniel Weaver. “Gamewright has a sterling reputation as a producer of high-quality, fun, family-oriented games, which makes them an ideal licensing partner. I look forward to seeing FlipSide grow and flourish in their capable hands over the coming months and years, and working with them to ensure that all the current Patchwork customers and retailers are well supported through this transition.”
