TORONTO - TelAve -- Analog Game Studios is proud to announce that it has signed a licensing agreement with world-renowned board game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia to publish his playful family-friendly board game, Fruit Island, for the North American market.

Dr. Knizia is one of the most celebrated and prolific designers in the history of modern board gaming, with over 800 published game designs and an unparalleled record of international awards and industry recognition, including the prestigious Spiel des Jahres, Origins Awards, and countless global accolades. His decision to partner with Analog Game Studios represents a significant endorsement of the Canadian publisher and its growing reputation for bringing accessible, high-quality tabletop games to market.

Fruit Island is a clever, fast-playing game for 2–4 players blending intuitive rules with meaningful decision-making—an elegant design reflecting Dr. Knizia's mastery of approachable yet engaging gameplay. Players travel the island collecting fruit from trees, racing to bring their harvest to the trading post, all while avoiding a mischievous gorilla that threatens to undo their progress. Designed to play in around 15 minutes, the game is easy to learn, highly replayable, and ideal for families and casual gamers alike.
