A New Venture

[Dire Wolf]

Those have turned out brilliantly, mate!

Yeah, we are really delighted with how it looks and will be re-branding the original game to have a similar look for the next print run. We also have the Junior Pack almost ready with another similar design, so all 3 together will hopefully pack a punch when we go the UK Toy & Games Expo in January.

What age group is the junior pack aimed at?

What age group is the junior pack aimed at?

It's going to be categories for 8-18 year olds. We've been testing questions at various games conventions and it seems to be going ok! We went into a school and got 120 kids to suggest 5 things they thought were their strong points or they knew a lot about and picked some of the 100 categories out of their responses. Unsurprisingly Taylor Swift and Minecraft came up in a LOT of their responses!

Earlier this year, rather than pay monthly warehouse storage fees, we had 120 boxes of our game delivered and we stored them in our spare room/office. Later this week, after we do a Xmas Amazon restock we will have 10 boxes remaining for our final few Xmas events, and we get our office space back... for now!

Oh, and fingers crossed, for any of you very lovely people that have been amazing enough to buy our game, Stronger Point Expansion One is expected to arrive in the next 7-10 days, (fingers, toes, and eyes crossed) so should be available in time for Xmas. Just. Phew!

Just ordered the original game and had it shipped to my folks house for the holidays. Two half German kids and two Octagarians, I might even win

Thank you so much, I hope the game goes down well with the family! The game can be played in pairs/teams which might work well with mixed age players.

Fantastic, thanks a lot for the tip. Can't wait

We've just been interviewed on BBC Radio Newcastle Breakfast Show about the game and games at Christmas in general. I think we avoided sounding like buffoons!

Thanks Pad! Not dropped it, we still use it, but found some people were confused by it so we're trying to incorporate the "more than just trivia" alongside it, to see if that is easier to get.

All about evolution. Never lose the pointing finger though. T-shirt worthy

Launching April/May all being well.

More rambling thoughts from my brain about a couple of amazing events we've been at recently. Feel free to read, comment and share, or simply ignore.

UK Toy Fair & Creative Industries Growth Summit: Strong Point Trivia on Two Big Stages!

New things in the world of Strong Point Games are coming soon. We have our rebranded game and Strong Point Junior Expansion in production and we are hoping it is going to be shipped very soon. We also have had initial playtests on the (very basic) prototype of our new game which is going to be called '26.2'.

If anyone is interested in following us on Instagram, we tend to post updates on there, it is a good way to keep up to date with what we are up to:

strong_point_game is where you can find us.

My personal Insta is:
si_evans.strong.point if you wanna add that too, but I mostly post a load of board game related bollocks so feel free to not!

The updated look, with both expansions. Available by the time we exhibit at UK Games Expo at the end of the month. We are down to fewer than 75 copies of the current design left in stock.

Not sure how this is even a thing, but our sales for this month are 2000% up on this time last year, and in the year to date they are over 60% up. We're also hoping to have a distribution deal in place soon to start stocking in retailers.

UK Games Expo was the weekend just gone and what a weekend we had! The new edition of the game and the first 60 copies (plenty more are on the way) of the Junior Expansion arrived just in time for the show and we had an absolute blast! Sales were good, feedback was better than good, and we had some very exciting news on the day we arrived and set up, more details will be revealed when we can.

This dude also visited our stand. Claimed he owned Strong Point because he was the same colour as our branding. We exterminated that idea.
