Toy Fair 2016
Cartamundi
Stand H1 01268 511 522 | www.cartamundi.co.uk The company is celebrating new additions to the Shuffle family of games, with its combination of playing cards and digital technology. Cartamundi is also previewing a number of new game box releases, and there will also be colourful new card decks for Snap, the UK’s best-known children’s card game, and Carta Magic — the exciting Cartamundi range that highlights the continuing popularity of card tricks. Shuffle Disney Monopoly and Shuffle Disney Pixar’s Cars bring together Cartamundi’s card-making expertise with some of the most famous names in the Disney list of classics, and, like all Shuffle releases, combine compelling card games based on popular brands with an optional free app that adds a whole new dimension to the card-playing fun. To coincide with the July 2016 release of Finding Dory, Cartamundi is bringing out a two-in-one Finding Dory game box that offers a Pairs & Donkey game and four puzzles, illustrated with the stars of the film, which can be played with in the bath, as all cards are waterproof. There’s also a brand-new Disney Princess game box, which includes six perfumed Princess cards for its guessing game and a Disney Pixar’s Cars game box, which includes four buildable cards. All three Disney favourites will also be getting together with the UK’s most popular card game when Cartamundi highlights new Finding Dory, Disney Princess and Disney Pixar’s Cars snap games at the show. The Finding Dory, Disney Princess and Disney Pixar’s Cars game boxes will appear in toy shops, gift shops and supermarkets from late spring 2016. The three Snap games, as well as the Zootropolis deck, will launch at the end of January 2016. Stand H1 will also be highlighting a strong existing Cartamundi range across the Shuffle line, including Monopoly Junior: Shuffle card game, Shuffle Frozen and Trivial Pursuit: Shuffle card game, the Carta Magic series of cards dedicated to magic card tricks, the slightly eerie but very cool Pitch Black, Death Poker and Calavera card packs and the traditional Royal Flush range. Zootropolis — a modern mammal metropolis like no other where animals from every environment live together arrives on screens on 25th March 2016. The Zootropolis card deck includes rules for both a Happy Families and an action game, and includes many characters and scenes from the animated adventure comedy.
