Lotería, created in 1887, is one of the oldest games in Mexican and Latin American history, and the first-ever Loteria Bilingual Edition unites generations with all-new riddles in English and Spanish, and offers digitally remastered artwork.
Designed by Dreamstar Farms, the Loteria Bilingual Edition updates an iconic game of chance with rhymes and riddles in two languages so that players of all ages can discover, learn and connect in newfound ways, while enjoying all of the elements that have allowed the game to stand the test of time. "Now in both languages for the first time, Lotería becomes a bridge between generations and cultures," said Geoffrey Gray, Co-founder of Dreamstar Farms.
As the game’s exclusive distribution partner, Asmodee is bringing Loteria Bilingual Edition to major retailers across the United States, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Barnes & Noble, and more.
