Breaking Games, the award-winning game publisher and manufacturer, is set to announce a partnership with major retailer Wal-Mart. Three of the company’s most popular tabletop games – Fake News, Game of Phones and Sparkle Kitty – will be available at 3000 locations nationwide and on Walmart.com starting tomorrow August 23.
On a personal note, we at Marooners’ Rock greatly enjoy the game Sparkle Kitty. We even gave it an award at PAX East 2018. (See below.)

“Our goal has always been to provide the most unique, entertaining, relevant, and fun tabletop games to people all around America, and we are definitely achieveing that goal with our most popular games now in Walmart and on Walmart.com,” said founder and CEO of Breaking Games, Shari Spiro.
“All these games have the ‘it’ factor – Fake News couldn’t be more relevant, Game of Phones incorporates your omni-present phone, and Sparkle*Kitty drives home the message of
finding strength in our differences.”
Since its debut at ToyFair in 2015, Breaking Games has released over 40 games, including two Mensa Select-awarded games, Letter Tycoon and Circular Reasoning, as well as multiple IndieCade finalists. This is a major step-forward for the company as previously their games, including the uber-popular POOP: The Game, had only been on Target shelves.
“Our games provide fun for everyone. What better way to deliver these games than with the support of Walmart? It’s incredible … we’re giving the other big household board game companies some serious competition!” concluded Ms. Spiro.”
