And other countries, some with very many 'Articulate' enthusiasts, found themselves under restrictions. So we got shedloads of visits here from outside the UK. (Hello, Australian friends!) The same applies to the box contents: question cards, for instance, might be wrapped to reduce their vulnerability as they leave the production line for the next step in the process. Sometimes we’re asked if the box could be smaller, or whether a game really needs a box at all. And the answer is: smaller, or thinner, or non-existent boxes might be cheaper for us to create, to ship and to store. But we’re afraid this is a non-runner in the vast majority of cases, if a game’s going to have any chance in the commercial world. But a high proportion of family board games are bought as gifts. And – just like with chocolates – people want to gift a quality box; one which reflects their appreciation of the recipient, and values the many, many hours that’s been spent developing the game.

This also ties in with another related area of concern: product miles. It won’t be news to anybody that plastic-based products can be produced most cheaply in the Far East. But we’ve a long-standing commitment to minimise unnecessary transportation by keeping as much manufacturing as possible within Europe. In fact, pretty well all of our family games are made locally to our UK and European markets, and always have been – we didn’t shift production eastwards even when this was a Big Thing amongst balance-sheet-hawks in recent years.

It’s like that family member who always guarantees a good time – CoOperate gets everyone involved, sparks laughter and debate (nothing political we promise) and most importantly it encourages the rest of us to get on with each other – because, let’s face it, CoOperate is a game of cooperation. This impressive, immensely popular game is played in teams and brings rip-roaring fun to any gathering of 4 to 20+ players, of all ages. The idea is to describe as many words as possible to your team-mates in 30 seconds, without saying “rhymes with” or “sounds like”. We have taken everything we love about everyone’s favourite fast talking board game and poured that noise, banter and passion into Articulate’s wilder, louder, more collaborative cousin.
