"As you go through life there's some things you remember and other things you never forget."
– Jim Reid
Fondly remembered, the late Jim Reid (1915-2005) was the patriarch and inspiration for Don't Quote Me®. Jim could always turn a phrase, sometimes borrowed, but most often original. Over time the use of phrases and quotes became a source of enjoyment for Jim's family and friends, and as we've discovered, for so many people around the world.
The journey...
A natural beneficiary of Jim's phrases, son, Don Reid is the architect of Don't Quote Me®. During a sunny southern vacation enjoying the warm sands, the serenity of the ocean waters, and the fellowship of his wife Joyce, and a couple of special friends, Mike and Ruth Marcuz, the notion of building a new game concept was born. Connecting the idea for a game with the experience gained from years of exposure to quotes and anecdotes made perfect sense. And so the journey continued as the Don't Quote Me® brand evolved.
The game...
People enjoy quotations and they enjoy playing a good game, and that's why Don't Quote Me® - the game of skill, knowledge and really, really good guesses is an ideal addition to any gathering of friends or family. As the first of the Don't Quote Me® branded products, the board game is a rich source of entertainment, inspiration, contemplation and fun. It's easy to play, it's challenging and rewarding, and it features both competition and collaboration for added enjoyment.
