Our 84-page Games & Puzzles supplement contains an in-depth look at the market’s leading games and puzzles, plus news, retail insight and supplier opinion from the category.

Toy World’s annual Games & Puzzles supplement is back with a bang, bringing readers more pages of product news, retail insight, supplier opinion and profiles than ever before.

The supplement opens with an in-depth overview of the extensive category by our editor, Rachael Simpson-Jones. Along with super-fan Lewis, Rachael also paid a visit to Warlord Games’ Nottingham HQ to speak to MD, John Stallard, and Business manager, Craig Nixon, about the company’s expansion plans.

We caught up with Tomy’s Mary Wood to hear all the latest,  developments at Tomy Games and Drumond Park, and TCG powerhouse Konami shares how the return of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship demonstrates the ongoing popularity of the franchise. At Cartamundi, Nigel Kay and Andrew Brown describe how the company has undergone a transformation, clearly delineating three new and distinct divisions.

This year’s supplement also includes Touching Base comment from senior figures at some of the category’s biggest and best suppliers, while specialist games and puzzles retailers share with us their hopes for the festive season and let us in on what’s selling well.

A bumper category overview has a raft of product info from the leading players in the Games & Puzzles market. Despite concerns that the sector might struggle to live up to the heady days of 2020 and 2021, the latest Circana figures suggest quite the contrary; Games & Puzzles is now the 4th largest supercategory in the UK toy market, as well as the fastest growing this year (+11% YTD). And that’s before the main selling season kicks in. So, if you are looking for inspiration to freshen up your range for this Christmas, the supplement is a great place to start.
