World-famous Hasbro game launched in Shuffle format with downloadable app

 

Cartamundi, one of the world’s market leaders in playing cards and card games, has announced the launch of the Shuffle Twister card game, licensed by Hasbro. Available in January 2016, it’s a brand-new version of the classic Hasbro game in card format. It’s also part of the groundbreaking Shuffle range — Cartamundi’s innovative product category that combines playing cards and digital technology for an enhanced way to play card games with support from tablets and smartphones.

Like the classic game, Shuffle Twister card game invites you to move your hands and feet to various coloured dots — this time through choosing a card and following instructions. But picking a card just gets harder and harder when you’re tied up in knots. Drop two and you’re out! It’s great fun — and a great way for youngsters to improve their motor skills and colour recognition too.

Aimed at two to four players aged six and above, the game comes with easy-to-understand instructions and (of course) the popular Shuffle digital extra. The free Shuffle Twister app (available through Apple iOS and Android) adds a fun twist by asking some — or possibly even all — players to perform random actions or impressions.

The Shuffle Twister card game is available for delivery to toyshops, gift shops and supermarkets from January 2016. Priced at £6.99, the new game is expected to be a big favourite with families and groups of friends, and its durable, robust packaging means they can take it and play it just about anywhere!

The arrival of Shuffle Twister card game follows the successful launch of a wide range of games in the Shuffle range, combining famous game brands, famous characters and sometimes both, in games as varied as Subbeteo, Twister, Monopoly Deal, Disney Monopoly, Monopoly Junior, Cluedo, Trivial Pursuit, Guess Who?, Trumps (Horses & Dinos), Trumps (Cars and Motorbikes), Pictureka, Disney Cars, Transformers Robots in Disguise, My Little Pony, Boggle Slam, Littlest Pet Shop, PLAY-DOH and Battleships — with more titles on the way soon!

Trudi Bishop, Head of Marketing and Licensing, Cartamundi UK, says: “It was inevitable that the popularity of both Shuffle game and Twister game would see the two games come together. Shuffle Twister card game is a great new format for a classic game — with an app that will have you falling over with laughter — literally!
