For the best award winning, fun, quality games for children, family and adults, then look no further.

Gen 42 Games is a UK based games company established in 2002 by John Yianni, the inventor of the much renowned 'Hive®' game. John, through Gen 42, is committed to bringing back the sense of excitement and adventure we all felt when playing games as kids. 

John loved to design and make games from a young age which he played with family and friends. It was not until he came up with the idea for the amazing 'Hive®' game, that he then started Gen 42 Games and took his passion to another level and he has since added "Army of Frogs" and more recently "Logan Stones - The Rock, Paper, Scissors Game" to his colellection of unique hexagonal tile games without a board.

Gen 42 Games is now internationally recognised with 'Hive®' becoming not only a Mensa awarded game but also a "Dr Toy - Smart Toy" award-winner for its simplicity of rules but chess-like strategy. And 'Hive®' is now an online game with a huge following.

We at Gen 42 Games pride ourselves on the quality of our games, both in the materials we use and the quality of the game play.

Though Gen 42 Games is one of the smaller new-breed of games companies, we have big and exciting plans for the future, all fuelled by fantastic games and a loyal base of distributors internationally.
