Specialty retailers can get a sweet first look at the upcoming SIXEM Sour Patch Kids game this week at ASTRA Marketplace & Academy.
A combination of speed and strategy, the original SIXEM is a dice and pattern-matching game. This edition will allow players to select their favorite Sour Patch Kids board, act sour by erasing their rivals’ progress, or be sweet and give out Xs. The Nashville, Tennessee-based company is known for party games like Snarkas and Verses.
“We are excited to be bringing a sour, then sweet, twist to our beloved dice game, SIXEM,” says Whitney Kimerling, Chief Creative Officer of Hootenanny Games. “Teaming up with Sour Patch Kids, a brand that embodies the very essence of fun and playful spirits, perfectly parallels the unpredictable excitement of SIXEM, making this a one-of-a-kind gaming experience.”
ASTRA Marketplace & Academy is held in St. Louis, Missouri this year at America’s Center Convention Complex and runs June 2 through 5. Learn more about the new title by visiting Hootenanny at ASTRA Marketplace & Academy at Booth No. 3114.
