La Jolla, Ca. - June 25th, 2007 –
Evolving Toys, LLC is proud to announce that Civil Lore!TM
– The Game of American Culture has been awarded the prestigious Dr.
Toy’s Best Products Award 2007. Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D (a.k.a. Dr.
Toy) is one of the world’s preeminent authorities on play, toys and
children’s products, who for over fifteen years has sought out the
best toys and games in the nation for recognition in her widely
publicized awards program. Inclusion of Civil Lore!TM
– The Game of American Culture marks one of few times in the
program’s history that a product specifically designed for ages 13+
has received an award.
“Civil Lore!TM
is a smart knowledge game best played by families with teens, and as
such does not fit into dominant toy and game marketing
demographics,” said Geoffrey Moran, President of Evolving Toys. “We
are doubly honored to have received Dr. Toy’s Best Products Award,
because we feel that Dr. Toy recognized this game’s unique
contribution to the present market – namely a fun yet challenging
educational product that fosters positive civic ideals and
facilitates wholesome knowledge sharing across the generations.”
Civil Lore!TM
– The Game of American Culture is the award-winning Americana trivia
game where families “battle” to win the board by using their
knowledge of America’s most entertaining cultural lore. Players
stake flags that others try to topple by risking extra-tough Cannon
Fodder cards. Six imaginative cultural categories contain over
2,000 family-friendly questions about folk heroes, tall tales, urban
legends, native American mythology, roadside attractions, amazing
oddities, national parks, UFO sightings, sci-fi snippets and many
other varieties of fascinating cultural lore.
“In my mind the
leading benefit of Civil Lore!TM is that it rekindles the American tradition of
civility when players charitably read questions to one another,
while also proving the old adage that two heads are better than one
when families play in teams,” Geoffrey Moran further elaborated.
“The game stimulates wonder about the people, places & events behind
the questions and forges connection between players.”
Receipt of Dr.
Toy’s Best Products Award 2007 comes on the heels of the game’s
recognition at Games Expo 2007, where Civil Lore!TM
was named a Top Ten Family Game by TDMonthly Magazine and
topped the Toy Man’s Top Ten List of all games at the same show.
