Stronghold Games has announced a new demo program in support of brick and mortar stores, with over fifty of their games available as demo copies to participating stores.

In following with new policies from Asmodee North America (ANA), Stronghold Games new demo copy program for games is available to "all friendly local game stores" according to an announcement from Stronghold Games president, Stephen M. Buonocore. The new program allows retailers to obtain one demo copy of eligible titles at 75% off MSRP or a free demo copy per case pack. These demo copies will be available from the five major distributors in the US, ACD, Alliance, GTS, PHD, or Southern Hobby, as well as ordered directly from PSI Marketing at the end of the April.

This program launches at the end of the month, and includes ways for customers and game enthusiasts to let their stores know what Stronghold Titles they'd like to see available for demo. Included in the program is the 2012 Kennerspiel des Jahres, Village, many of its expansions, and over 50 other titles.

In February, Stronghold Games and Eggestspiele, originally publisher of Village, announced a partnership bringing all Eggertspiele titles to the North American market (see "Stronghold, Eggertspiele Announce Partnership".)
