Although youth camps and other fun summer activities for kids have been cancelled this year, Asmodee wants to make sure kids are entertained all the same by launching an outdoor board game campaign. The #PlayItOutdoors campaign is all about getting fans to take their favorite board games outside and players who participate have the chance to get rewarded just for doing so.
While families have been staying home and playing board games during much of their time in lockdown, Asmodee wants to support households and social bubbles this summer with games like Ticket to Ride, Rory’s Story Cubes, Catan and Bananagrams. Each week, a different game will be highlighted and players are invited to use the official campaign tags on social media to get in the running for a weekly cash prize.
