Newton, MA – Gamewright, a leading publisher of award-winning tabletop games, prides itself on making “games for the infinitely imaginative” and this year the creativity continues. The company will release ten new games for the new decade starting with Dungeon Drop, an innovative cube-based “dungeon crawl” featuring an ever-changing playing field. Gamewright also cooks up two super fun super-food themed games including Abandon All Artichokes, a fast-playing “deck-wrecking” card game that comes in an artichoke shaped tin, and Marshmallow Test, a trick-taking game designed by renowned inventor, Reiner Knizia, based on the famous Stanford University delayed gratification experiment of the same name. Additional releases include Metro X, a colorful “flip-and-write” game, Hi-Lo Flip, Shifting Stones, Qwixx the Card Game and many more. All will debut at Toy Fair in New York City this February 22-25.
