Game Crafter: Niche Business Helps People Create and Sell Their Board Games
2009-07-26 12:00:00 I don't know about you, but I've always thought that it would be pretty cool to create my own board game - what would be better than developing the next Mouse Trap or Monopoly? Drafting out a board game on construction paper, with playdough figurines or random household objects as pieces are one thing, but a new company is now making it possible to not only create a legitimate board game, but to sell it for profit too.
The 4 Best Board Games That Should Be Made Into Sitcoms.
2009-03-04 17:44:00 I saw the other day an article about how a network might bring back, or run, or something, the show Rules of Engagement, a show that I have, unfortunately, seen almost 5 minutes of in my lifetime.Now, I'm not saying that a show which via it's title compares marriage to combat, and which premises its entire outlook on life on a few Henny Youngman jokes about the differences between single life and married life is not funny...... wait, that's exactly what I'm saying. What is the point of the show "Rules of Engagement?" Where is the humor? Let me sum up what I assume to be the plot of every single episode of Rules of Engagement, ever: Married guys feel as though they have to pay attention to their wives. Single guys sometimes feel lonely. Hilarity (?) ensues. Also, people fall down. Probably.Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something that's funny about marriage, or singledom -- and by that, I mean, inherently funny, such that marriage, or lack thereof, beco...

Do you remember playing classic Hasbro games like Hungry Hungry Hippo, or Operation? Yeah, I thought you didn’t. Anyway, mega game publisher, EA, might turn those classic board games into video games. Games like “Monopoly” and “Littlest Pet Shop” will be released soon because of an important part of its push to make video games for a broader audience.

Analysts: Board games are the next big thing - SendMeRSS
2007-12-12 05:22:00 Analysts: Board games are the next big thingFiled under: Business Gamasutra got a cadre of analysts together to look into crystal balls, read tea leaves, and guess what the next big breakout genre will be following the rhythm game's ascension with Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The analysts' guess? The board game. Yes, the humble board game put on a TV (or in the case of Scene It?, being tweaked a bit) is what the group thought would be the next über genre.Jesse Divnich of simExchange believes that Scene It?, which released last month, will be a "moderate success" and Ben Bajarian of Creative Strategies uses the term "social gaming" to describe this genre of titles. He says that families are still looking for a "board game" to play together, with the natural evolution being to do so on a console. It probably doesn't hurt their hypothesis that the board games we've seen translated to consoles so far (Scene It?, Carcassonne, Catan) have been very effective. With any luck, Europ...

Hasbro and EA will make computerized versions of their board games
2007-08-10 17:21:00 Hasbro has reached a deal with Electronic Arts to make some computer takes on some of my favorite board games:NEW YORK (Reuters) - Electronic Arts Inc. and Hasbro, Inc. on Friday said they have made a licensing agreement to create electronic versions of some of Hasbro's most popular games including Monopoly, Scrabble and Yahtzee.Under the agreement, which runs through 2013, Redwood City, California-based Electronic Arts will hold worldwide rights to create the digital games for electronic devices including mobile telephones and over the Internet."Our toy and game brands have been family-favorites for decades, and aligning ourselves with EA will result in broadening the reach of our brands," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's chief operating officer, in a joint company statement.The first games are to be launched in 2008.

Video-based board games
2007-06-28 09:43:00 A couple of computerized games based on board games, or their premises, are coming out:People have been playing board games for thousands of years, while video games have only been around for a few decades. So it makes sense that designers of video games would copy their ancestors. Just about any board game you can name - from chess to Trivial Pursuit - has probably been translated into an electronic version.Sometimes the influence of board games is less obvious. Real-time strategy games like "Age of Empires" are souped-up versions of Risk or Stratego. "SimCity" owes a debt to Monopoly, while "The Sims" has roots in The Game of Life. You could probably even draw a plausible connection between "Pac-Man" and Hungry Hungry Hippos.Nintendo's "Mario Party" series shows the influence most openly, mixing digitized board games with fast-paced arcade challenges. It has become one of Nintendo's flagship franchises and a reliable option any time you need a game the whole family can play._"Ma...
No More Board Games
2007-06-08 22:59:00 Little Bear has discovered the joy of board games. I love to watch her and Miss Turtle play their own versions of Ant Farm, Cootie Bug, and Don't Break the Ice. I love to let Little Bear sit on my lap while the family plays Monopoly Jr or Shrek Operation. For the most part, board games are loved in this family.We just don't love where we store them. I like to keep them so that Miss Turtle is able to get them when she wants to play. Unfortunately, that is no longer out of reach for the red headed and curious. That mess took a mere 30 seconds to make, but an entire 30 minutes to clean up. We need to figure out a way to put a lock on the closet so that Little Bear can't do that anymore.http://www.text-link-ad-s.com/xml_blogger.php?inventory-_key=7FK6WL5FBEDW4QBQPZ4C&feed=-1
