Flibbix Game Builds Critical Acclaim
One of the most critically-acclaimed new board games of 2008, Flibbix, is quickly becoming one of the most popular games of this holiday season.
Duvall, WA, November 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- When Merillian launched Flibbix at the 2008 International Toy Fair in New York, it radically changed the way board games are played. With Flibbix, players aren’t stuck with a board game and rules that are always the same. Instead, they can easily build a game that’s perfect for them—every time they play. Being able to customize a game and choose your rules is not only revolutionary, but really fun. Flibbix quickly draws players into the game with a mix of craziness, creativity, and strategy—it’s a one-of-a kind play experience that's unlike anything ever seen before.
Since its release, Flibbix as built up critical acclaim, winning more than six major industry awards. “We’re honored by the incredible response Flibbix has gotten from some of the most trusted names in the industry.” said Jason Ivan, CEO of Merillian Games. “We wanted Flibbix to be so dynamic and exciting that it’s fun the first time you play—and years later. Toy experts, parents, teachers, and children who have tested Flibbix are saying we’ve succeeded.” Here are just some of the awards Flibbix has captured since it landed on store shelves last June:
The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval — The National Parenting Center said “Flibbix was downright entertaining from start to finish. Parents reported that the whole family was in stitches and as a result it earned, in the case of many testers, an honored position in the Family Game Night cabinet.” Flibbix wins The National Parenting Center’s “Seal of Approval” Award.
2008 Preferred Choice Award — Flibbix was awarded a 2008 Preferred Choice Award and listed as a finalist for Toy of the Year by Creative Child Magazine. Flibbix was recognized by their reviewer panel of over 100 moms, kids, and educators.

Because every game played is new, it's like getting thousands of games all in one box."
Parents' Choice Award: Silver Honor Award Winner — “What could be more fun than creating your own game and playing it? Flibbix answers that question — again, and again....This innovative flexibility means that it’s absolutely possible to play a different game every time.”
