Winning Moves Games, located in Danvers, Massachusetts, is a leading maker of classic card games and board games, world renowned puzzles, action games and popular adult party games.
[edit] History
Winning Moves Games was founded in 1995 by four game industry professionals: Tom Kremer who found and licensed the Rubik's Cube from behind the "Iron Curtain"[citation needed], Philip Orbanes formerly at Parker Brothers, and the leading expert on the game Monopoly, Mike Meyers formerly at Milton Bradley and Alex Randolph. The company then forged a close relationship with the world's largest game company, Hasbro, Inc., owner of Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games. As a result, many long-lived Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games have been and continue to be made exclusively by Winning Moves Games. The company continues to produce a variety of games, including both retro and original designs.[citation needed]
In 2006, Winning Moves created a new line of games geared towards the hobby/"Euro" game consumer and named it "Immortal Eyes Games."
