UNPUB drops the UN!
Bludle
Unpub is incredibly pleased to announce that a new direction is being headed, and we have new navigators to help us stay on course. Unpub has been acquired by Parker Brothers, of board game fame. With this acquisition, Unpub will be dropping the UN from our name to simply be known as PUB.
The PUB name helps bring about a new era in board game awareness, and that is the often ignored published game. Sure, many people are aware of the tireless work, time, money, sweat, and tears it takes to design, develop, play test, redo, play test more, and shop a prototype; hell, everyone and their Mother knows and talks about it. Now it's time to bring a spotlight to the unsung heroes, the heroes that make it onto the shelves at Toys R' Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and so forth. The games that go untested and are just vomitted onto shelves and to family game nights. Games that are classics, such as Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, Clue, and many many other brilliant games by the marvelous Parker Brothers that are just too forgettable to name.
So it's with great pleasure that PUB will continue to press forward, and showcase these awe-inspiring works of grand gaming. So go pick up your 8th copy of Monopoly and play knowing that you are bringing attention to a great cause, and a great group of board room executives.
Long live the PUB!
I believe this is where I post the obligatory, April Fools.
Now get back to prototyping!!
I could tell this was a joke because you left out Candyland.
I think you underestimate how gullible some of us are (er, not me, of course)! Don't just dismiss it all in the comments--reel it in! 🙂
This was very upsetting to me until I read the comment about the April fools. Scrabble! HA!
