Stronghold first released Great Western Trail in the U.S. in November 2016. It was very popular and quick sold out. However, while seeking permission for a second print run of the game in June 2017, Stronghold learned that all assets of eggertspiele had been purchased by Plan B Games, the defendant.



Plan B Games asserted that it had no contract with Stronghold and it did not grant reprint rights to Stronghold. Subsequently, in January 2018, Plan B Games released its own version of Great Western Trail, seemingly identical but removing Stronghold's logo from the packaging. The Complaint (below) [Ed. note: Viewable on Scribd here ] references a contract by which the plaintiff, Stronghold Games, would exclusively publish a board game called " Great Western Trail " from August 3, 2016 to December 31, 2018. At that time, the game was owned by a German company called eggertspiele . The Complaint alleges that one of the obligations eggertspiele agreed to in the contract was it "will not during the term grant to any other person, firm or company any rights that would derogate from the grant made" in its contract with Stronghold Games.Stronghold first releasedin the U.S. in November 2016.
