Description

[edit | edit source]

Gamewright Games was founded in 1994 in Newton, Massachusetts by two families seeking better games for their children.[1] The company produces card, dice, board, and party games, and categorizes them by age: 3, 3–6, 6–8, and 8–10+.[1]

One of its best-known games is Sleeping Queens, developed by six-year-old Miranda Evarts in 2006.[2][3] Sleeping Queens was chosen by the Canadian Toy Testing Council as one of its "2006 Best Bet Awards" selections.[4][5]

Since 1994, Gamewright has published over 200 titles[6][better source needed] including Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert, Think 'n Sync, and Sushi Go!.
