Real-life stories of how
our board games are used in business…
THE US MILITARY
The families that serve and protect our country often live on the
military base. It’s not an easy lifestyle, and can be difficult on
the children of the military parents. So the government declares
that they want the military bases to have the finest child care
facilities possible. We help stock those child care centers with
stimulating, challenging and unique games to help the kids grow
socially and mentally.

HOME BUILDERS
When Intrawest, the world leader in destination resorts, decided
they wanted to give a “housewarming gift” to each buyer of their new
luxury resorts, they contacted Board Games Express. They purchased
a large volume of
Deluxe 6-in-1 Game Chests, and mounted an engraved brass plate
with the family’s name and the year they bought the resort on each
one. Needless to say, the gifts were very well received.

CRUISE LINES
When entertaining that many people, you need
LOTS of different activities!! And cruise ships have countless
options of how to spend your time on board. We’ve helped several
cruise lines upgrade their board game library from a few beat up
standard board games to an appealing collection of fun and easy to
maintain games for the kids and adults to enjoy! From
Trivia cards that they use, to big group games like
Catch Phrase, our games have been a big success.

CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS
The need for games in this situation is
evident. Take the patient’s mind off the pain and hospital
atmosphere, and give them something fun to do. Many of the young
patients can’t play a pick up game of basketball, so board games are
a perfect fit. Games they can play with other
children at the hospital, or games they can play when their
family, or games they can play by
themselves.

CONVENTION
GIVEAWAYS
Everybody loves to take home freebies from the
big convention. With over a thousand games, ranging from $2 through
$200, we have just the promotional giveaway you’re looking for. For
example, our line of
keychain board games is very popular.
Operation games are big for medical conferences,
The Price is Right for financial conventions… You get the idea.

CORRECTIONAL

Board Games are important part of the
rehabilitation process. They promote social interaction, teamwork,
higher level thinking, following the rules, being a good sport and
more. No one has a better selection of appropriate games than Board
Games Express.

RETIREMENT
COMMUNITIES
As you age, you have to work to keep your mind
sharp. Board games are a fun, interactive way to do just that. We
sell lots of
cribbage,
canasta,
mahjong,
dice games and
strategy games. We also sell games that make playing easier for
older hands and eyes. We have
card shufflers and card holders, and
jumbo cards and
jumbo checkers. But our uncontested best seller to the eldery
is still
Jumbo Sequence.

CORPORATE GIFTS
If you can think it, we probably have it. We’ve had a big company
in New York give a copy of the
New York Yankees Monopoly to their top clients. We’ve had an
NHL hockey team give a copy of
Ultimate Hockey Trivia to all their season ticket holders.
We’ve even had a company give out an
Austin Powers game to each salesperson who accomplished the
“power” selling goal of that month.

THERAPY
Board Games are important part of the rehabilitation process. They
promote
social interaction,
thinking skills,
speech reinforcements, and all kinds of mental processing. They
provide fun outlets to practice
dexterity and tactile movements. No one has a better selection
of appropriate games than Board Games Express.

CHARITY EVENTS
It’s so nice to give to those who simply don’t
have. We’ve had lots of companies buy 2000
Uno decks to give to needy orphans. We’ve help provide hundreds
of
chess sets to impoverished inner city communities. My personal
favorite was a mid-sized company who donated one
preschool game to a local charity in the name of each employee
at the company. We even offer unique fund-raising opportunities
through board games sales.

the perfect statement? Maybe it’s

Senior Moments. Whatever you’re trying to say, we probably have
the right game.
