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:
“A new gadget that lasts only five minutes is worth more than an immortal work that bores everyone.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask, I never knew:
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.”
—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)
