Who doesn’t love game night?

If you’re into games (and snacks, nom nom nom!), then Ellen’s Game Night Club might be right up your alley!

Ellen’s Game Night Club is a new, curated subscription service that includes a quarterly delivery of games and snacks starting with Goliath’s Game Night in a Can, the title recently acquired under license from Barry & Jason Games & Entertainment, alongside CMYK’s Wavelength and an assortment of snacks and party supplies. It’s sorta like Oprah’s Book Club, but for games from Ellen.

Game Night in a Can features 35 creative and physical challenges, based on segments from Barry McLaughlin and Jason Lautenschleger’s touring live comedy game show. Games include Just Say Noah, where people were invited on stage to create new animal species, and Frumpy Bumpers, a competitive butt-bumping game. Wavelength is a social guessing game where two teams compete to read each other’s minds.

Game Night in a Can is nominated for Game of the Year in the 2023 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards. To learn more about the awards, check out the special TOTY Awards issue of our sister publication, The Toy Book, right here.
