Dads and Grads Get Ready to Rock Aleken’s Long Live Rock Game Rolls Out on Store Shelves

Genesee Depot, WI - Aleken Games, the leader in music trivia games and calendars rocked The International Toy Fair in February with the showing of its newest board game, Long Live Rock!™, and met demand with early distribution of the game this month.

Available nationwide just in time for the Dads and Grads everywhere to enjoy Father’s Day and Graduation celebrations as well as summertime parties, Aleken Games delivered its Long Live Rock! game to Spencer Gifts and Hastings Entertainment stores.

Aleken Games calls its exciting new board game “The speed game of Rock!” where players race against the clock to unscramble significant happenings on the timeline of Rock and Roll. A rockin’ good time, every time, Long Live Rock! (MSRP $24.95) is designed for 1 or more players, ages 14 and up.

Ken Eichstaedt, president of Aleken Games, said, “This fast-paced game is a sure hit with game players and music fans everywhere. What makes this game so fun and interesting is that Long Live Rock! supplies the Who, What Where and When of Rock and Roll. It’s up to the players to “unscramble” and organize them as they race against time. This game is a blast.”

With every turn each player or team takes three Rock cards, each of which contains a famous “happening” in Rock and Roll. That player or team then has one minute to arrange the cards face-up in correct chronological order. Now flip the cards over. If the events are in the correct date order, that player or team gets to move forward one space on the board. Both you and your opponents also have the opportunity to gain an additional space by correctly guessing the actual year that one of the events took place. The first player or team to cross the finish line wins. Coined as the “un-trivia” game for Rock and Roll fans by co-creator Julie Eichstaedt, Aleken Games’ Long Live Rock! was designed to be played in about 30 minutes and is perfect for parties, get-togethers, coffee time, break time or anytime!

Aleken Games’ 2007 introduction of Long Live Rock! strengthens its position as the industry leader in music and trivia board games and related products.
