WYRMWOOD GAMING
WYRMWOOD GAMING Continued from page 21 sumer manufacturer that has mastered social media and modern marketing techniques,” he explained. “Because we are direct-to-consumers there are no middlemen to share profit with. In my opinion, direct to the consumer is the future of manufacturing.” He continued, “We have over 250k followers on Instagram, over 100k followers on YouTube, over 100k followers on Facebook, and around 100k followers on Twitter. We also have a +100k email customer base. Most manufacturers have, maybe, 1/10th of the influence and reach that we have.” In a multiform genius move, Wyrmwood went back to their furniture roots and recently purchased a furniture manufacturing facility. They started first producing a multi-functional table, the Prophecy Gaming Table, that was designed with four sizes available. In a multiform genius move, the company went back to their furniture roots and recently purchased a furniture manufacturing facility. Starting with a multi-functional table, the Prophecy Gaming Table was designed with four sizes available. The Lilliput is a standard coffee table size; the Wyrmwood coffee table is a square size intended for sectional sofa users; and the dining table kits, which take the table up to a 10 person seating table with breakdown of a small table kit (seats 4), a medium (seats 6), and a large table (seats 8 to 10). “We designed this table with multi-purpose in mind,” Costello explained. “With conversion kits, you can take this table from one size to another, leaving a multitude of options for functionality. This is a table that can grow with your life. You can’t outgrow this table, it’s a game changer.” Lead Designer Jason MacDonald added, “Myself, Doug and Ian started in furniture manufacturing. It’s nice to get back to our roots and to the end game that we had in mind in the beginning. At Wyrmwood we like to be uncompromising with the design and quality of materials we use. We wanted the design to be nice and clean, a high-end furniture piece. The bonus is when people find out that it has really cool gaming abilities.” When asked about the breakdown of the design, Mac- Donald said, “There are four big innovations that went into our Prophecy table. The first being the game lift mechanism, which allows you to have a recess playing surface flush with the top of the table. It gives you tons of versatility depending on what game you’re playing, what style of play you have when you play that particular game. It’s something you’re not going to see on any other gaming table. The second thing we added is a dual magnetic rail system, which incorporates all of the accessories that we have from cup holders to card shelves. It allows you to magnetically attach all these accessories both to the inside and the outside of the table. When you’re done playing the game, you pack it all up inside the game vault (underneath the tabletop), and it’s out of sight, out of mind. The third feature is the reversible play surface which gives you the option to play on either a nice, soft microfiber fabric or you can flip it over for a really nice Hardwood surface. So you have the option to pick which suits your game. The fourth feature is our spill-resistant Coffee tables complete the modular game table line. topper system, a five-leaf topper that has rubber gaskets and rare-earth magnets that gives it a really nice seal. This allows you to cover your game without breaking down the game and taking pictures of where the game pieces were. You can leave it there for the week and when the game is back you can take the toppers back off and you’re ready to start gaming again.” After the Prophecy table, came Wyrmwood armchairs, side chairs and benches. “We are proud to expand our furniture line with our designs for armchairs, side chairs and benches,” Costello said. “No matter your preferred configuration, we have options to provide beautiful, functional seating in all the same wood options as we offer on our Gaming Tables.” Wyrmwood chairs come in two distinct designs, the Gulliver and Diana. The Gulliver line includes upholstery, with fabric options to match or compliment your table, as well as an integrated storage shelf below the seat. They can be further customized in a number of ways. The Diana line features an elegant, all-wood design, with your choice of Ash or Ebonized Ash on steam-bent, solid wood back slats. By reinvestment in their operation, giving back to their community and continued innovative moves, Wyrmwood Gaming is one to watch for massive growth potential. n For more information visit www.wyrmwoodgaming.com.
