War Toys presents Boardgame Giveaway - Play & Learn About War as a Humanitarian Hero!

Continuing its mission of growing peace by confronting war, the War Toys® nonprofit organization has created a groundbreaking, educational board game for the global toy market. Grab a table and learn how to play while learning more about the vital, lifesaving work of noncombatants in war zones. Appropriate for ages 8+, Evac Ops™ challenges players to work together as a Combat Photojournalist, Frontline Rescuer, or Aid Worker to save civilians in a dangerous war zone. The game is supported by a free mobile app for iPhone and Android that provides additional educational content and instructions in over 35 languages. Evac Ops will be distributed worldwide in bags of plastic army men that include our noncombatant figures and sold as extremely inexpensive, standalone game sets. 

Evac Ops™ is the first product fostered by War Toys as part of our toy industry initiative. We are giving children everywhere access to better toys by simply giving factories better designs. War Toys is bridging the play gap for kids who cannot afford name brand toys by investing in small-but-impactful changes to enduringly popular, generic toy lines and harnessing the existing market to reach every corner of the globe.

This event is supported in part by an arts grant from the City of West Hollywood.
