NETCONG, N.J., Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breaking Games, an award-winning game publisher and manufacturer, will showcase more than a dozen new, genre-bending tabletop games, as well as their best-selling titles at this year’s Toy Fair, February 16-19, 2019. Breaking Games had a blockbuster year, as their games continue gaining shelf space with national retailers, including: Target, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Barnes and Noble, Cracker Barrel, Amazon, Kroger and many more. Breaking Games has so much to share, they’ll be featuring games in two separate booths: 1169 and 6909.
“2018 was a year of tremendous growth for Breaking Games – developers, titles, sales, and corporate partnerships, as we now have international presence in Canada, Australia, U.K., France, Spain, Germany and more. It’s been a phenomenal year, but at the end of the day, we are an organization that supports independent game developers, fosters their creativity, and pushes the boundaries with unique game play and imagination,” said Shari Spiro, Breaking Games CEO.
At this year’s Toy Fair, Breaking Games will feature two must-see booths:
- Booth 1169 / Upstairs: A sneak-peak at upcoming games yet to launch, along with their individual developers

Designed to easily mix and match with the original Sparkle*Kitty game and expansion packs. | Finally, games for REAL families!

Little Diablo
| LIMBO

| Little Diablo is an un-shut-up-able, trash-talking, game-playing devil doll. You must beat Level 10 to shut it off! A perfect gift for someone you love- and an even better gift for someone who annoys you! | LIMBO is a smart, self-balancing electric gyro, disguised as a machined-spinning top that spins for more than four hours straight. On June 9, 2018, LIMBO officially broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest-running mechanical spinning top. |
Hypothetically Fun
| Something Wicked
|
| It’s like an icebreaker married a flamethrower! Hypothetically Fun is a game of open-ended and discussion-provoking questions spanning five different topics and 350 cards. | Players become witches gathered around a large plastic cauldron, as they move and take plastic wands from the cauldron, as well as getting other witches to match their moves. The witch that has taken 13 wands of the same color wins! |
Shiki

BOOTH 6909: FIRST LEVEL
Expancity
| Trellis
|
| Expancity is a city-building game in which players both collaborate and compete to build a thriving metropolis block by block. Cities expand both horizontally and vertically, and no two cities will ever be alike! | Grow a beautiful garden of tiles on which flower meeples bloom down connecting vines of the same color. Players race to be the first to play all their flowers first in this cascade of color and fun. |
Convert
| Rise of Tribes
|
| Get ready to get vertical! Take the addicting play of Tetris, and the accessibility of Connect 4 and you get Convert. | Players control a tribal faction in prehistoric times looking to grow, move, gather, and lead their people. The board is modular, composed of hexes in various terrain types. Each hex has a population limit. |
It Dies With Me
| The Stars Align
|
| The winner learns a secret, something never told to anyone, and that secret can never be shared or repeated because it's written on edible paper with edible ink, and it must be eaten to make sure the secret dies with the winner of the game! | Players take turns spotting their color stars in the sky by playing constellation cards to the map. Once the sky is full of stars, they twinkle or flip to the reverse color. When the same color stars create a line across the night sky, they shoot and disappear. |
Order of Invention
| Carl Spies
|
| In a game of "Which came first", players wager on the order in which a series of popular items were invented. Correct guesses gain points, and the player with the most points wins. | The ultimate car and travel game for above average families! Score points by using the cards in your hand to spot objects and places you pass. |
