Follow on Google News | Watch Out Wall Street, Toy Fair Gets A Bailout: 'BAILOUT! THE GAME'Game's Goal: Collect Most Debt, Win a Bailout
By: Shari Sopourn Directly affected by the recession as credit for architecture projects was slowing down, Jordy Sopourn, an architect, and his wife Shari, a homeschool mom, decided to Bailout themselves. Bailout! Following the conversation, the Sopourn family began working on Bailout! The Game (www.bailoutthegame.com) Players compete as rival banks (ex. No Cashvia, Liquidation Brothers) that make risky investments to undermine the competition and get a bailout. Along the money trail, players run into Frantic May, Frivolous Mac, plummeting dollar values, hostile takeovers, global warming rallies, pork barbeques in Washington and negative media coverage. "All the fun, none of the responsibility, and best of all, this bailout doesn't add to the national debt," said Jordy Sopourn. Bailout! The Game has received accolades from toy industry reviewers: Mr. Dad (www.mrdad.com) Liberty Street Games is a game design company that publishes American made games. The company provides relevant content about the government bailout via twitter feed @bailoutthegame. They are launching a mentoring program for other game designers on their blog. The blog's content: The Do's and Don'ts of self-publishing, social media, PR, press, and conventions. For more information about Bailout! The Game, please visit the Sopourn's at Toy Fair NY with their national distributor Continuum Games booth #5646 or call Shari Sopourn 954.682-1275.
