I got a package today from my pals over at Cranium. It included a comp copy of Hullabaloo, the game I exhaustively tested over there a while back with Karim and J.T., both of whom I worked with previously on Encarta. Apparently Hullabaloo won an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy Award! I sure hope that [...]
