Social Games
In 2008, Large Animal Games began game development for social networking sites. Bumper Stars, Lucky Strike Lanes, and Bananagrams are all available to Facebook and Bebo members. Each game shares certain commonalities despite having different objectives. These include a leaderboard (which ranks players according to a variety of criteria), solo and social play options, a store, and rewarding of virtual trophies (“Achievements”) for excellence in play. All games are available free of charge.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or games:
“Nearly all the Escapists in the long past have managed their own budget and their social relations so unsuccessfully that I wouldn’t want them for my landlords, or my bankers, or my neighbors. They were valuable, like powerful stimulants, only when they were left out of the social and industrial routine.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
