About Gigamic
Gigamic is a company that specializes in making wooden games and have recently expanded their business to the games more "euros" and card games. It was founded in 1991 by 3 brothers and one could say that games are precursors of object-space decoration party, party entertainment. The brand is distributed almost worldwide and its games are often translated into over 30 languages (which is always welcome.)The company has two very important features that I think are worth mentioning as an introduction, because we really have become what they are today: the quality and learning. Both features are closely linked and have enhanced each other. And what happens is that Gigamic, but has always been a premium brand, over the years has been improving its standards to extraordinary levels.
At first, the boxes were stacked soft and sank. Now banks are hard and tough, and an exquisite design (if you have the full line of games, the same boxes and are used for decoration). They also learned of bad design (in terms of game) and have now been discontinued (although some are still decorating my house, because they are really beautiful).
