History

Winning Moves Games was founded in 1995 by four game industry professionals, Phil E. Orbanes, Mike Meyers, Tom Kremer, and Alex Randolph.[1] Orbanes left his job at Parker Brothers to found the company.

In 1998, the company made the Monopoly Calculator and Monopoly Gift Pack, which included a book and the calculator. The following year, Winning Moves came out with Monopoly: The Card Game.[2] The company picked up the rights for the Rubik's Cube in 2000.[3] While in 2001, the company published a reproduction of Monopoly 1935 #9. Winning Moves published Monopoly: The Mega Edition in 2006.[2]

In light of local lockdowns in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Winning Moves partnered with Deliveroo to give customers in Melborne the option of buying entertainment with their food.[4]
