This contest is for children ages 5-12.  To enter they must design a board game (with all its pieces, rules, and a board), decide what the board and pieces look like, figure out the rules and how to play and design a sample of the board and pieces (entries will not be judged on artwork).  Contestants will earn the chance to win prizes (a trip, a $10,000 savings bond, a game library, and more!).  The winning game may be produced by University Games for their lineup in 2007.

The contest is sponsored by University Games Corporation.

Founded on April 1st, 1985, we have developed and manufactured over 200 games in the past 20 years. University Games was founded by Bob Moog and Cris Lehman. Bob and Cris always loved playing games with their families. They both grew up thinking that fun and learning were a part of everyday life. As adults, they recognized a developing niche in social interaction and educational games for adults and children-and that is how University Games began.
