From Hunters:

Hunters Books, the makers of the Award Winning Zombie Survival Role Playing Game – Outbreak: Undead, has announced a new social game they will be making available starting January. Titled GAME: Most Popular Game in All Mother Russia (Not Really); It is an experience that is light-hearted, fun, and unique variation of other popular party games. Encouraging players to make up their own rules, share rules with others, and write down fun experiences; GAME is what Hunters Books are calling the tabletop version of the ‘Aristocrats’ joke.

“This is without a doubt THE premier game in all of Russia (Not really)” says Chris De La Rosa, CEO of Hunters Books. “It’s even more popular then Bear Wrestling, and that is a bold claim. We at Hunters Books are simply making it available to Americans who wish to get in on the fun!”

GAME, self-admittedly can be played with only a pair of dice and friends. However, the company is providing a variety of various products to help players get in spirit of Russian Pride and join the feeling of comradery. Customized Dice, Challenge Coins, Russian Hats (Unshakas), and a book titled the GAME Manifesto (a leather-bound book to keep track of rules and stories) are all products that will be available starting in January.

“The Rules of GAME are ‘most advance, but quite simple’ as we like to say.” Claims Ivan Van Norman, Marketing Manager for Hunters Books “Roll Dice, Make Rules, Drink! It’s a way of feeling like you are part of something special, and has also been wildly popular at conventions. We want everyone to feel like that. So we’ll also be posting some videos of how ‘all the people’ can enjoy GAME as well here soon”

The company has launched its own Kickstarter project to make available some exclusive items for players as well as allow for advanced orders. They will be hosting a release party for the new title at Meltdown Comics off Sunset blvd on Jan 26th where backers can pick up their products early.
