Gamewright Makes a Splash in 2011 with Eight New Games

Newton, MA – For the past 17 years, producing award-winning family games has been the mission of leading game manufacturer Gamewright. The game company is positioned for success with eight innovative new games, including a kid-invented game, to be unveiled at Toy Fair 2011. Highlights from Gamewright’s latest and greatest include:

• Mermaid Beach – an imaginative card game invented by 8-year-old Emily Ehlers. Features a colorful cast of undersea characters like Swirly Shirley, Betsy Bubbles, and Rip Ryder.
• GUBS – a magical card game of wit and luck based around a group of unique creatures called Gubs. Victory lies down an ever-changing path and no one is safe until the final card falls.
• Port-a-Party Games – a new line of portable, travel-friendly party games. Initial launch of two titles: Joe Name It, a fast-playing “name it to claim it” trivia game and Who Would Win, a hilarious game that pits improbable celebrity matchups against each other.
• FlipOut – Award-winning family strategy game with colorful, back-to-back excitement. Switch, swap, and flip cards in order to get at least four-of-a-kind in a row. Previously published by Knightweaver Games under the title Patchwork. Same great game with a brand new look!
