HOLIDAY GIVING:  GAMA INTRODUCES ‘A GAME ON EVERY TABLE’ RETAIL GIFTING PROGRAM

COLUMBUS, OH, September 16, 2020 -  The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is launching its first annual ‘A Game On Every Table’ holiday program. Through this initiative, customers at participating brick & mortar tabletop gaming stores will be offered a ‘buy one, gift one at 50% off’ promotion on select games for immediate in-store donation to Toys for Tots.

We all know how important it is to play together, especially when we’re all spending more time than usual at home. GAMA members, from publishers and distributors of board games to the retail stores that bring them to our families, all want to help local communities put a board game on every table this holiday season.

“ We’re all wanting to feel a little more connected to our communities this year, ” said GAMA Executive Director John Stacy, “The Game on Every Table program will give holiday shoppers the chance to share their love of gaming with their loved ones and with a family in need at the same time.”

The program is currently reviewing publisher applications. It is expected to launch in retail stores shortly before the holiday shopping season begins in late November.

Tabletop game publishers are invited to contact  Paul McGraw at GAMA to enroll in the program. Publisher trial memberships may be available upon request.

A publisher Q&A session will be held on Tuesday, September 22 at 4pm Eastern/1pm Pacific. This will also be recorded and shared for anyone who is not able to attend.

Publishers and retailers must be active GAMA members (or trial publisher members) in order to participate.

Complete details about the program, including deadlines for both publishers and retailers, are available on the GAMA website  here . This will be updated to include a retailer  locator as the launch date approaches.
