		<description>Basic reason - they are punching out as many copies as possible through people like Toys R&#039;Us because it&#039;s the best way to get the margins up.  Lower cost, better quality and cheaper to produce mainstream.

Garry has it right though.  The specialty game companies are doing some great products that will last a while.

Also, Hasbro has launched a few &quot;Vintage&quot; edition of games for Monopoly, Sorry! and others.  I would run a search on google for those games using that term - we used to have copies of the Vintage Monopoly but sold out sadly.  We do have a Sorry! copy in though.</description>

		<description>This may be true of mainstream games, but games companies such as Fantasy Flight and Days of Wonder produce great games with excellent production standards and hiqh quality components.</description>
