BEFUDIOM®, The Mom- Invented Board Game of Idioms and Word Play Lands in Toys "R" Us Stores

(August 22, 2012)

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) August 22, 2012

Befudiom®, a new board game of idioms perfect for both family and adult game nights, makes its national debut in Toys R Us stores. Goliath Games has partnered with Edison Nation to bring this mom-invented product to store shelves and soon into living rooms across the country.

Befudiom is a smart and clever game, and one were excited to get behind, said David Norman, head of Goliath Games U.S. operations. This game can appeal to a variety of people, from 30 year-olds hosting a party with friends, to a family game night, which is what makes it a no-brainer for Goliath Games.

Other games may be a dime a dozen, but Befudiom will challenge families and friends to guess the meaning of various idioms in this zany game of word play. Think its a piece of cake? Lawrenceville, Ga.-based mom Wendy Hampton spent years perfecting the game with her daughter before bringing her concept to a casting call for Season One of Everyday Edisons. Now airing its fourth season, Everyday Edisons is a public television show produced by Edison Nation that showcases product development from behind the curtain, and aims to turn extraordinary ideas from ordinary people into products seen on store shelves.

This game is no flash in the pan; it is a fun and educational game designed by a mom to help her daughter understand the phrases we use on a daily basis. Talk about the icing on the cake, Befudiom is only $19.99 and is available for purchase online at http://www.toysrus.com and in Toys R Us stores.

Curiosity killed the cat? We dont think so. For more information, please contact Andrea Simon at andrea(dot)simon(at)edisonnation(dot)com or 704.333.5335, ext. 406.
