Target continues to expand it's "Only-at-Target" exclusive board games.
On July 30th, Target announce that they will be "rolling out 130+ new games—including 95 only-at-Target finds" in the coming year.
“We’re continuing to see double-digit growth thanks to hits like Oregon Trail and our vast assortment of curated exclusives—and the momentum shows no signs of slowing,” said Scott Nygaard, Target Senior Vice President – Merchandising. “So, we’re going even bigger into the trend, working with the leading game makers, specialty shops—and even kid inventors—to create more unforgettable, exclusive games for Target guests to love.”
This Spring we saw the release of the "Only-at-Target" board games Ticket to Ride: New York (reviewed here) and Jurassic Park: Danger (reviewed here). Now they have announced "Only-at-Target" games from North Star Games, Big G Creative, Red Raven and Pressman.
Here are a few of them. I know that most of these may not be of interest to many of you, but it is interesting to see this happening at Target. When Star Trek Catan hit the clearance bins, I expected Target to see venturing into the hobby game market as a failed experiment. I was wrong.
Also, right now you can get 10% off a limited selection of games, one of which is the aforementioned Dude, with the code GENCON.
Dude - the game where you say dude
