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:
“Children, then, acquire social skills not so much from adults as from their interactions with one another. They are likely to discover through trial and error which strategies work and which do not, and later to reflect consciously on what they have learned.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
