Games Expo’s debut 2007 show in Las
Vegas highlighted strategic board games, fantasy games and
just-plain-fun games for the family.
PlayZak Magazine
focused (literally) on that last category, training its video
camera on some of the newest fare for kids and their folks.Some
of the games are so new, they won’t be ready to launch until
fourth quarter, but there’s nothing like getting your foot in
the door before the next store:
Civil Lore! – The Game of American Culture by
EVOLVING TOYS LLC
Players battle to win the board
using their knowledge of America’s cultural lore. They
strategize and stake flags that others try to topple. Six fun
cultural categories contain questions about folk stories, urban
legends, roadside attractions, amazing oddities, unsolved
mysteries and many other varieties of fascinating cultural lore.
— “Unlike pop culture trivia games, Civil Lore! lets you explore
the deeper roots of American culture through high-quality
questions about American cultural history and contemporary
folklore,” President Geoffrey Moran of Evolving Toys told
PlayZak. It “contains over 2,000 high-quality
themed questions and comes with a deluxe accordion-fold game
board.”
Launch date: February 1, 2007. (Price: $29.95; Age: 13 and Up)
