Arlington, Texas, Jan. 7th, 2014 — Mensa Mind Games ^® is one of the leading board game showcase competitions in the United States. This year, Mensa Mind Games will be hosted by the Austin Mensa Chapter at the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas on April 18-20.

Now, games that enter the board game market anytime between June 1, 2012 and June 1, 2014 are eligible for the competition. “There are so many great games entering the market and we didn’t want to limit access to those that are just beginning to see momentum with their product,” says John McGill, Marketing Director for American Mensa. “We want manufacturers to be able to use this designation to push their creation even closer to the top of every game player’s wish list.” The early bird rate for manufacturers to enter their products is $200 through March 21, 2014.
