Goliath Games Founder Adi Golad to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Toy & Game Innovation Awards

Goliath Games’ founder Adi Golad will receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the Toy & Game Innovation Awards in Chicago.

Golad founded Goliath Games in 1980, where he distributed games out of the trunk of his car. He also sold more than 600,000 games in Holland in one year, setting the current world record for a single game sold per capita in one year.

Today, Goliath has hundreds of products, including many that Golad invented, as well as others that he worked with inventors to develop and market.
