Once again Gen42 Games successfully exhibited at the 2012 Nürnberg Toy

demonstrated the Junkyard Races board game along with their new
Hive Carbon
edition together with the new Ladybug extension pieces as well as
all their other great games and add-ons. Each one was a huge success, so
it's another great year for Gen42 Games, who keep coming up with quality

Growing The Hive® Brand |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
‘Hive Pocket®’ débuted
at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2012 and is their seventh
addition to the Hive® family since the first wooden print of this very
popular and successful game back in 2001.
Since then Hive®
has seen many incarnations from an iPhone App to the
beautiful black and white classic edition ‘Hive Carbon®’
that was introduced last year at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2011.
Hive Pocket®
is the very same wonderful game but much smaller and
compact. Now you never need to go anywhere without Hive®
again.
This edition also includes the two expansions to the game ‘The
Mosquito’ introduced in 2007 and ‘The Ladybug’ which was
added to the Hive® family in 2010. |

Announcing the exclusive NEW Army Of Frogs® app for the
iPad, iPod and iPhone |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NEW Army Of Frogs® app for iPad, iPhone & iPod
touch is now available on the iTunes app store.
In a small pond with a population of frogs that is constantly growing,
the fight for territory and the best possible location is always a
battle.
Army Of Frogs® is an exciting fun board game by the award winning games
designer, John Yianni.
The game is for 2-4 players (human or AI) with each player in control of
a group of 10 frogs, which connect to the other player’s frogs to form
an island.
The shape and size of the island is constantly changing as players add
and jump their frogs about in an attempt to rally them into one large
group to win the game. The player’s frogs are also introduced to the
island by the other
players, who will most definitely add them in difficult locations and
use them to block the movements of the other frogs: so winning is not as
simple as it may first appear.
To understand the rules of Army Of Frogs®, please click

Announcing
the NEW Junkyard Races game |
 |
This has been a very exciting year for Gen42 Games as we announce
our fourth official game that is available now. This is not your usual
type of game by Gen42 Games, it actually now contains
a board.
This is a mad crazy racing game packed full of fun.
Playing this game is not as straightforward as you may think as your
opponent will lay down various dastardly traps to slow your kart
down and even bump you into the cold icy stream.
We at Gen42 Games had so much fun in creating and playing this game
and we hope you too will enjoy it to the full.
For more information about this new and exciting board game, please
