UPDATED: R&R Games’ sales on Hanabi, which released in the U.S. a year ago in March 2013, have topped 106,000 copies, R&R Games president Frank DiLorenzo told ICv2 (and Sales Manager Dan DiLorenzo updated), with over 20,000 copies shipped in December alone.
Sales have been strongest in the hobby channel, DiLorenzo said, adding, "[T]hat’s where we’ve sold the bulk of these. But we also see a lot going to casual toy/game stores as well."
Regional sales vary, according to DiLorenzo. "Strongest sales have been in Midwest and Western parts of the country, the rest of the country is about even," he said.
Hanabi won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award last year (see "'Hanabi' Is 'Spiel des Jahres 2013'").
