Winning Moves Games is a leading maker of classic card games and board games, world renowned puzzles, action games and popular adult party games.

History

Winning Moves Games was founded in 1995 by four game industry professionals: Tom Kremer who found and licensed the Rubik's Cube from behind the "Iron Curtain"Fact|date=January 2008, Philip Orbanes formerly at Parker Brothers, and the leading expert on the game Monopoly, Mike Meyers formerly at Milton Bradley and Alex Randolph. The company then forged a close relationship with the world's largest game company, Hasbro, Inc., owner of Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games. As a result, many long-lived Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games have been and continue to be made exclusively by Winning Moves Games. The company continues to produce a variety of games, including both retro and original designs.Fact|date=January 2008

There are currently four Winning Moves companies in the world: Winning Moves France, Winning Moves Germany, Winning Moves UK, and Winning Moves USA.
