North Star Games Donating 2,000 Games to Libraries
North Star Games, publisher of Wits & Wagers and Say Anything!, is donating one thousand copies of each game to libraries that signed up to participate in National Gaming Day (NGD) on Saturday, November 14, 2009. The American Library Association organizes NGD annually to promote the presence and use of board game in public libraries. In 2008, NGD drew more than 14,000 participants, and the ALA expects to have twice as many players on hand this year.

This is a great way to expose new people to gaming and Say Anything is a fun game. I had a game night at a local library this summer and it was fun. Free games and free books and media all at the same night :) Posted by Tim Shea on Nov 7, 2009 at 12:27 AM | #

Great move, guys. I hope it grows the hobby and gets others in the industry to follow that lead. Posted by William Baldwin on Nov 7, 2009 at 03:27 AM | #

Thanks Larry. It was tough to put everything together - especially for this year. That’s a lot of games for a small company like us, but we received a tremendous amount. Jenny Levine from the American Library Association (ALA) helped us in a bunch of ways, and Chris Harris, Brian Mayer, and Scott Nicholson produced some high quality instructional videos to help the librarians out. Thanks guys! Posted by Dominic on Nov 9, 2009 at 08:59 AM | #
