Pick Your Pickle and Prepare for Puns: Pickleball's Board Game Just Launched. A fast, fun, irreverent board game that celebrates the joy of Pickleball. Fans of silly puns, pickles, and fast-paced games alike have a new game to add to their list of must-haves: HotShot Pickleball. This delightful card-drawing board game is quick to learn and gives a surprising amount of opportunity to lightly strategize as you race to the ball and attempt to hit it back over the net to your opponent.

Some recent movies that fit this growing interest are; The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, The Hobbit, Clash of the Titans, 300, Kick Ass, Pixar's Brave, Black Widow in The Avengers and more.

"The right story would take advantage of the viewing public's fascination not only with Greek mythology but also powerful women. Look at The Hunger Games. Jennifer Lawrence's appeal as bow-wielding heroine Katniss Everdeen earned nearly $700 million at the worldwide box office for Lions Gate..."
"Greek myths haven't done as well, but there's clearly an audience to be found. Sam Worthington's portrayal of Perseus in Warner's remake of Clash of the Titans and sequel Wrath of the Titans has earned about $800 million worldwide on a $275 million two-film production budget."
"Zack Snyder's 300, based on the Frank Miller-written graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae, earned $465 million for Warner on a much smaller budget: $65 million, according to Box Office Mojo..."
