Board game companies Uberplay and Eagle, which planned to merge this year (see 'Eagle, Uberplay Merger Delayed'), have parted ways.  As an intermediate relatioinship, Eagle had been distributing Uberplay titles (see 'Eagle Games Soar in 2005'); that ended on November 1st.  Uberplay is now handling its own sales, marketing and operations functions, effective immediately.  Neither side has revealed why the merger initiated by a letter of intent was not consummated.
