SJG Donates Games to the Military
Steve Jackson Games has donated a 5,000 game care package to United States troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait that contained 20 of their most popular titles, including Car Wars, Chez Greek, X-Bugs, the new Chez Grunt. Here's the word from Steve himself:
We at SJG have always had a lot of fans in the armed forces, and we hope that when they get a little downtime from their mission, this will help them relax and feel a bit closer to home. These are all board and card games, each one complete in itself; we're thinking that will be more practical than RPGs.
The games were donated through the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center (CFSC) in Kuwait. The CFSC provides oversight for Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) operations worldwide. Loren Wiseman gets our thanks for rounding up the information and making the contact.
The person we worked with is Ms. Sherry Murphy, at
