Playing The Game: University Games Buys Lagoon Games

University Games has purchased gift-led Lagoon Games – specialists in gifts, games, puzzles and books –  from the Asmodee Group, with University Games’ president and co-founder Bob Moog confirming that the company plans to keep Lagoon Games “true to its British roots.”

Richard Wells, managing director of University Games UK, added: “The Lagoon product line complements the University Games and Paul Lamond Games ranges. Our sales force has known the Lagoon range for years and is really looking forward to introducing it to our broad base of retailers.”
