Sunny Games was founded in 2004 under the name Zonnespel to increase the range of collaborative games in the Netherlands. In the early days this was achieved by importing the games from the Canadian publisher Family Pastimes and distributing them in the Netherlands. Sunny Games has now grown into a European publisher of 19 cooperative games, most of which are available in four languages and some even in six languages. We envision a world in which collaboration is more important than competition. Our games contribute to this in a playful way.
