The Worst-Case Scenario Card Game.

Moose Games, the family gaming division of Australian-owned toy development and distribution company Moose Toys, has acquired the Worst-Case Scenario license from game developer All Things Equal and licensor Quirk Productions

Based on The New York Times bestselling “Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook,” the Worst-Case Scenario Card Game is an easy-to-learn card game for family and adult game night. The game is played by matching how players rank five worst-case scenarios from one – bad – to five or the worst. Match correctly and then score the most to win.

“Recognizing the timeliness of the brand, I developed The Worst-Case Scenario Card Game at the start of the pandemic,” aid Eric Poses, president of All Things Equal. “Months of positive test-play sessions and a successful launch at Target revealed people’s serious need for comic relief in confronting their worst-case scenarios.”

As part of this new acquisition, effective immediately Quirk Productions has entered a long-term licensing deal with Moose Toys for exclusive global rights to sell Worst-Case Scenario games, including the original and a newly developed adults-only version.

“This partnership stemmed from both my and Eric Poses’ belief that we could work together to expand the market for Worst-Case Scenario games globally,” said David Norman, general manager of Moose Games. “The topic of how to get out of a bad situation has proven fun and engaging as a game for all ages. The new adults-only versions we’re bringing to market, alongside the original, are uniquely different, and we look forward to working with Quirk to introduce new variations of its best-selling card game play, beginning this holiday season.”

The addition to Moose Toys’ games portfolio comes on the heels of the brand’s recent strategic product and distribution agreements including Spontuneous and Orchard Toys alongside a number of new licensing agreements with Moose Toys. New Worst-Case Scenario card games will be on display, alongside Moose Games’ entire portfolio, at the Moose Toys booth at Dallas Toy Fair in the World Trade Center, Suite 478.

“In partnership with a giant like Moose Toys, we’ll be able to expand the game’s audience around the world, allowing even more players to enjoy the cheeky fun of ranking their worst-case scenarios,” said David Borgenicht, founder and president of Quirk Productions and creator of the Worst-Case Scenario brand.
