Immortal Eyes Games
In 2006, Winning Moves USA began importing and creating a new line of games geared towards the hobby/"Euro" game consumer and named it Immortal Eyes Games.
While Alex Randolph was one of the "fathers of modern boardgame design", and would therefore have certainly been qualified to vet games for this market, he died in 2004, and the remaining members struggled. They released titles such as co-founder Orbanes' own design, Conquest of Pangea, which was widely considered to have more randomness than the adult strategy market tends to prefer, severe mechanical flaws, and a poorly written rulebook. They also released titles such as TransAmerica and Pecking Order, which was deemed by their target audience (hobby/"Euro" gamers) to be closer to the mainstream family market that Winning Moves serviced than the adult strategy market Immortal Eyes was aiming at. The subsequent poor sales resulted in the discontinuation of the sub-label in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words immortal, eyes and/or games:
“Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“eyes that see a
hand in the unclouded sky,
a human hand, release
wet fire, the rain that gave
my eyes their vigilance.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“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)
