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:
“Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Cowardice shuts the eyes till the sky is not larger than a calf-skin: shuts the eyes so that we cannot see the horse that is running away with us; worse, shuts the eyes of the mind and chills the heart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
