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:
“Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope’s true gage,
And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
“Downy windows, close,
And golden Phoebus never be beheld
Of eyes again so royal!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
