Companies hope hoard games will help them win some profits By The Associated Press Is there life after Trivial Pursuit? Game manufacturers arc trying to persuade consumers this Christmas that there is, indeed, a rejuvenation of the adult game market, stimulated by board games like Trivial Pursuit and Scruples and Piclionary. These board games and others like them “have had the effect of bringing people together in a social setting and reminding them that games could be a fun way to spend an evening,” K marl toy buyer George Colgan rcccntl y told “Toy and Hobby World” magazine. According to the Toy Manufactur e s of America, $253 million was ent on adult board games last year. Some of this season’s entries: — The Dictionary Game comes to the United States through Canada, introduced by Davis-Gradowski Inc., a Miami-based importer of toys and games. Players create definitions to unfamiliar words that seem more be lievable than the actual dictionary and try to bluff others. The more convinc ing the definitions, the more points they gain in a race to reach “genius” on the game board. — Another Canadian import is Therapy the Game. The board game, sold by Pressman Toy Corp., asks players to master the stages of life from “infancy” to the “cosmos.” The first player to move his “couch” across the finish line wins. Other Pressman games are spinoffs of television shows, including a junior edition of Wheel of Fortune, Deluxe Jeopardy and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. — Win, Lose or Draw and What/it arc among the board games from Milton Bradley. In the former, players try to decipher doodles of some phrase or expression taken from a card in a deck. The latter game plays with words that are turned around, upsid cdown or jumbled. Like: Thingthing (One thing after another.) — Pictionary—one m i 11 ion games were produced in its introductory year last year, according to its marketers, The Games Gang — now has a junior version geared to 7-lo-l 1-year-olds. It’s the same charades on paper game, but with different reading levels, and it includes w: -off boards and cray ons.
