Our Vision

The Power of Small

Famous Games - The Power of SmallHere at the Famous Games Company, we achieve some very big things by being small. Our World’s Smallest Sports Games each consist of only nine playing cards and a simple rulesheet. Each game is about the size of a pack of chewing gum yet delivers all the thrill and engagement of a packed stadium or big-screen TV. Our games are easy to learn, fun to play, and capture the essence of the sports they depict. Thanks to their size, our games can go places that bigger games can only dream of – airplanes, glove boxes, goodie bags, vending machines, DVD cases, cereal boxes, trade shows, stadium seats, cases of beer, magazines, greeting cards, and more. That versatility helps us go the extra mile to meet the needs of our clients.
