EAST LONGMEADOW, MA--(Marketwire - May 12, 2010) - Do you "like" to play board games? Then you should "Like" the new Hasbro Family Game Night Facebook page and become a fan!
Families around the world are playing games to spend quality time together and have fun. In fact, according to a survey recently commissioned by Hasbro, more than eight in ten Americans said that they like to play games with their families, and 39 percent play games at least once a month. To celebrate this popular trend and give game enthusiasts a place to share their exciting game moments, Hasbro has launched a Family Game Night Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/FamilyGameNight). This page will serve as a fun community where game fans can interact with each other, read tips and game recommendations for creating memorable Family Game Nights, take silly game-themed quizzes, and more!

"Today's tech-savvy parents are heading to Facebook to share photos of their family, catch up with friends and relatives, and share their interests. Because many families regularly have family game nights at home, Hasbro's Family Game Night Facebook page provides a great resource for families to share their favorite family game night experiences with the larger community, as well as learn about ways that they can make their family game nights an even more exciting occasion."
