To date, we have licensed over two dozen games to major companies, including Hasbro Industries, Pressman Toy, and Mag-Nif.  Two new games will be introduced by Briarpatch at the American Toy Fair in New York in October 2006.

Our game GLASNOST: THE GAME OF SOVIET-AMERICAN PEACE AND DIPLOMACY, manufactured by the John N. Hansen Company, received international acclaim. It won a 1989 International Clio Award for packaging design in a competition with 27,000 entries from 70 countries. It was published in German, French, and Russian editions by Olga International. We licensed the GLASNOST cover art and logo to Landmark General for a calendar, to Wearhouse for a sportswear line, and to Classico San Francisco for postcards.
