Unplugged Family Entertainment
At Front Porch Classics, we believe true quality time is created by bringing people together through play. We learned this by “living it.” As we watched our own children grow, we realized the increasing challenge of finding those precious few minutes where the televisions and computers are off and the cell phones and pagers are silent. It was precisely this search for some “human” time with friends and family that inspired a few dads from Seattle to create a new line of games with a very unique design criteria: games that adults actually want to share and play with their children, as well as with each other. Games that are purposefully designed to engage friends and the whole family (yes, multiple generations!) around the coffee table in laughter, sharing, and building memories. In short, we call it “unplugged family entertainment.”

How do we do it? The formula is simple. Every one of our games combine four essential elements: Rich Story Telling, Elegant Design, Ageless Appeal and Limitless Play. All of our products feature wood, leather, metal or other high quality, durable materials. They are built to last a lifetime and are designed to connect family and friends through play.

New for 2005

Raceway 57™
Long before today’s ultra-modern speedways and sleek, technologically advanced racing machines, yesterday’s legendary drivers hurled themselves around dirt tracks strapped inside the very same cars that everyone else drove on the street. They were outlaws, yet they were the pioneers of American auto racing. This beautiful game lets you experience the full throttle excitement of America’s fastest sport. Roll the dice or play a card to move your cast metal racecar around the track as you manage valuable resources like fuel, suspension and tires. A metal dashboard with magnetized markers helps you keep track of your car and your opponents. Bumping and crashes are part of the sport but damage to your chassis might force you into the pits at the wrong time. A clean fast race to victory and you will receive the Raceway 57 trophy. For 2-5 players ages 8 to adult.
