Square Shooters supports Autism Speaks in April

I’d be excited to talk about Square Shooters simply for the fact that it’s one of the most unique and enjoyable games you’ll find on the market today, combining two essential gaming elements everyone loves – cards and dice – into one innovative play experience. Through a patented process they’ve transferred a full deck of cards on to a set of dice, which allows players to roll hands. Yes, the world’s first deck of cards on dice! You can get started with the Square Shooters brand game, then start putting new twists on classic games like Poker and Rummy, and eventually you’ll be creating totally new games altogether. See how cool:

But this post goes beyond the games to call attention to a special campaign they are running for the month of April to support Autism Speaks, the world’s leading autism advocacy and science organization. For the month of April, Square Shooters, now a national program sponsor, will donate $1 for every “like” Square Shooters receives on Facebook. Let me make this easy, visit their Square Shooters Facebook page and Like them. Do it now!

Company owner Tom Donelan has a personal connection with autism and you can read more from Tom at the autism support page on the Square Shooters site. Here’s a great video of Tom summing up both the game and their involvement with Autism Speaks:

Please take a second or two to help them with a “Like” so they’ll have a nice, hefty donation total for the month!
