Bob Moog , President of University Games enthusiastically agreed, "Glenn is a highly regarded game designer and business leader in the strategy game category, with more than 30 years of experience.  When he says that he can help us, he isn't talking poppycock. We are psyched!"

Racoon Tycoon is the leading game from Forbidden Games which launched its first game, Railroad Rivals in 2018. In 2022 the company will introduce its next hit game: Mosaic, which has raised more than $1.2 million through its first round of crowdfunding.

University Games plans to increase the introductions of new games and help Forbidden Games reach a global audience.

It will definitely be a hit in Australia ."

Forbidden Games will become a division of University Games. University Games announced that it will be realigning its Briarpatch and Front Porch games division to create product lines that best fit the addition of Forbidden Games.
