More new board games?!? What’s HAPPENING over at Drumond Park?!?

So, we’re into September.

Which means that we’re heading into that time of year that could best be described as ‘cheerful panic stations’ in the toy and game industry.

Warehouses are geared up, marketing ready to go, and those Christmas playlists so beloved by retail staff are cued for constant repeat…

For us in the Drumond Park office, there’s always a very specific sense of anticipation – it won’t be long before we start to see how our new product releases for the year are performing in the brutal environment of the toy shop shelves.

(Although we say it ourselves, we have an excellent track record at developing games that appeal to people, and that they’ll want to play again and again. But it really is tough out there!)

We’ve already told you about a pair of new releases – our LOGO mini games themed around chocolate and sweets/toys and games. And – yayy! – first reports have these flying off the shelves… we'd had a strong suspicion that they might strike a chord with people, and they obviously have!

So, on to two more incoming product announcements – and these are the biggies!

The first one – well, it’s a collaboration between one of the UK’s most successful family board games and one of the WORLD’S most beloved brands.

And the second one – it’s a fantastic adaptation of a perennial hit TV show that everybody has heard of. (Not one of those identikit 2.30-in-the-afternoon-on-channel-4825 shows. We mean a really, really, really massive one).

What are they?
