University Games entered into an extended licensing deal with MerryMakers to create new products inspired by Dav Pilkey’s popular children’s graphic novel series Cat Kid Comic Club. The deal also extends University Games’ licensing of Pilkey’s Dog Man franchise.
A new 2-4 player Cat Kid Comic Club game is set to debut this fall for $17. Following the success of Dog Man Attack of the Fleas, University Games is also releasing another game called Dog Man 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea.
“University Games has been a fabulous partner for Dog Man games and puzzles since we launched the licensing program in 2019, offering even more fun and creative products each year,” says Clair Frederick, President of MerryMakers. “The original board game, Dog Man Attack of the Fleas, came out with a bang, and the subsequent Flip-O-Rama and Hot Dog Card Game capture the exuberant playfulness found in Dav Pilkey’s wildly popular graphic novels. Everyone loves the lenticular puzzles, too, since the Dog Man characters embody the power of transformation.”
University Games has seen success with titles such as Dog Man Flip-O-Rama Game, Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game, Murder Mystery Case Files, and more.
