We mentioned the existence of a game that fit this description when we talked about Shit Happens. Publishers too are cautious about what they advertise to which age ranges and are quick to realize when they have a fun game on their hands that could easily be repackaged for a younger audience. Fortunately for us they are now well into their teens and probably have heard and know more about all those off-limit subjects than I care to admit. We’ve done this on a couple occasions when topics that we weren’t comfortable discussing with our pre-teens came up in regular play. As you probably already know, many titles that are targeted towards a more (im)mature audience can be quickly made family-friendly by excluding items standard to the game without taking away any fun.
If you recall, they are a new division of toy & game powerhouses Goliath Games / Pressman Toy that will be focusing on party games for the 18+ crowd. Last month we introduced you to the new publishing company, Games Adults Play.
