Eagle-Gryphon at
Board Game Geek Con!
We had the opportunity to send several of our team members to represent Eagle-Gryphon Games at BGG con last week, and it was a terrific experience. Thank you to all the people that came out to support the convention and stopped by our booth. It was so great to be around so many people who were all gathered together for one purpose only -- to just play and enjoy boardgames!
We are also VERY excited to say that three of our games placed on the BGG leaderboard. The final lineup was as follows:

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that voted! Your support means the world to us!

Money is a necessary part of any game collection! A 1999 Spiel des Jahres Recommendation.

High Society
 It is one thing to be the richest family on the block... it's quite another to flaunt it successfully. High Society pits you against your neighbors in a race to reveal the most blue-blooded family in your midst. To win, you must acquire all the trappings of great wealth, avoid as many of the pitfalls as you can and still walk away with a huge pile of cash at the end of it all. This Reiner Knizia classic makes a great travel game and an easy one to introduce to friends and family. "Nothing short of pure magic...the game is yet another in the long list of intriguing and agonizing games by the prolific inventor Knizia. Put High Society on your 'HIT' list." ~~Greg J. Schloesser, BGG.comMSRP: $25.99 Sale Price: $12.99 Details Here!

Swat!
Those pesky bugs just keep coming at you! Your job is to SWAT them right when they score the most points. But be quick or your fellow players will SWAT them first. Do you go for Sure
Stings, or wait for Double-or-NoStings? Or maybe you try to get the most Swat-or-Nots or Zappers, since these can be worth even more points.
"Swatting is fun. Swat is fun. You laugh, but waiting for just the right moment to swat that pile before someone else does is deliciously tense, totally absorbing, graced by the wonderfully whimsical art of Charlie Bink."~~Bernie DeKoven, MajorFun.com

Times were mighty hard for miners during the Gold Rush. Rival miners fought over the rights to the few productive gold, silver and copper mine sites. Then came the Desperados. Those gold thieves and mine robbers showed up in all shapes and sizes. It was best to have the help of a reliable partner to fight 'em off.
"Very easy and fun game to play with the kids!" ~~Darin Kelsey, BGG.com
"The art in Desperados is awesome! ...the pictures (particularly the bandits) are a boatload of fun." ~~Matt Drake from Drakes Flames

Yin Yang  Yin Yang is an ancient Chinese philosophy, that two complementary forces exist in the universe. Many natural dualities-e.g. dark/light; male female- are examples and a balance of both is optimal. In the card game Yin Yang, the player who best succeeds in balancing these two forces will be the winner. This trick-taking card game, challenges players to try and score "0" points.
"Oh, so painfully wonderful. Trick taking at its best." ~~Chris Fenwick
