Congratulations to Mattel on acquiring Apples to Apples

It’s great to watch an industry over time and it was of no surprise that Apples to Apples was acquired.

For those who don’t know Apples to Apples is the outrageous comparisons, award-winning card and party game that provides instant fun for four to ten players!

There’s almost a magic barrier of 1-2-3 million games or more at which point any board game will be acquired by a major company like Hasbro or Mattel.

Trying to find accurate/reliable sales volumes for board games isn’t easy, many are just myths, but here’s my list of games in the exclusive million copy club.

• Monopoly - 500m
• Uno 150m
• Scrabble - 100m
• Tivial Pursuit - 90m
• Yahtzee - 50m
• Operation - 50m
• Pictionary -25m
• Cleudo - 25m
• Twister - 15m
• Scruples - 7m
• Settlers of Catan - 6m
• Albalone - 4m
• Cranium - 4m
• Tribond - 3m
• Scene IT - 3m
• Apples to Apples -3m
• Mindtrap - 1m
• Blurt - 1m
• Urban Legends - 1m

I couldn’t find any figures for these games but I’m sure they are all in this category too

• Taboo
• Scattegories
• Balderdash
• Scattegories
• Outburst
• Zobmondo

The sources for this vary far and wide and it was the most exhaustive list I could assemble at the time as an outsider to the industry. What’s interesting is nearly all these games were invented by independent inventors. There’s always space for that in this industry. Feel free to email me any corrections

Who’s on the list to become the independent game stores replacement for Apples to Apples and on route to the million copy club? Here’s a few candidates for great games for the holidays 2007

• Wits & Wager
• Sentence Says
• GiftTRAP
• Table Topics
• Loaded Questions
• Imaginiff
• Times UP
• Smarty Party
