Our friends at The Malted Meeple like to give extra attention to their favorite board game publishers and designers. In their Publisher’s Spotlight they provide a bit of a background on the publisher, discuss a few of their games, and may even announce a visit to The Meeple by some of the publisher’s representatives!
Publisher: North Star Games
Founded in 2003 by Dominic Crapuchettes, North Star’s mission is to bring people together through exciting and memorable experiences by inspiring laughter, cheering, creativity, and communication amongst friends and families. That sounds a lot like our mission here at the Meeple, and is definitely a cause we can get behind!
North Star Games is perhaps best known for their award winning party games Wits & Wagers and Say Anything. Both of these have a permanent place in the Malted Meeple library, as does their deeper, competitive game of survival of the fittest, Evolution, which now has expanded to include the evolutionary leap of Flight!
One of the things we really love about North Star Games is how approachable and fun their games are. North Star Games recognized the need for more happiness in the world and has recently created a line of games called Happy Planet, which includes one of our perennial favorites Happy Salmon.
