Jaffer Enterprises Releases Cooking-themed Board Game Into Thriving Worldwide Market
ADELAIDE, SA, Sept. 22, 2024 – Jaffer Enterprises, an Australian board game publisher, today released a cooking-themed game called Foodolia into a thriving worldwide market. During the game, players pick up ingredient tokens to cook specific dishes, accumulating scores while avoiding the flavour villain, who is trying to poison their meals.
Harry Tremo, Jaffer Enterprises’ marketing manager, said, “Interest in food and cooking is eternal, and our game tackles the topic with a large dose of humour.” “But Foodolia is not a piece of fluff. It’s designed on a solid base of simple strategy that is both fun and challenging,” he added.
Despite the popularity of computer games, the board game market is flourishing, with worldwide sales having steadily increased over the last five years.
Talia Baker, Jaffer Enterprises’ CEO, said that “as AI infiltrates daily life, people are choosing the human-to-human contact provided by board games. Card games,” she added, “which we also produce, have modern appeal as they have the portability of a smartphone or laptop.”
Foodolia is available online and in-store at major retailers from today onwards. It’s available in Australia, the US, the UK, and specific European and Asian countries.

A Player and Fan inspired Rebuild for Byron Football Club’s 100-year-old Stands
MELBOURNE, Vic., Sept. 22, 2024 – Today, Byron Football Club announced the redevelopment of the 100-year-old Sam Lincoln stand at its home ground in Nettleby, increasing the seating capacity from 6,000 to 10,000 people.
Included in the rebuild is a plaza that adjoins the surrounding parkland, along with new facilities for the women’s team.
“The construction will help our men’s and women’s teams to achieve on-field success and to flourish,” said Caleb Windsor, the club CEO. “And the fans will have a spot to gather in the new outdoor spaces.”
As the old stands are demolished, bricks and railings will be saved and melded into the new design, paying homage to the club’s history.
But the building will be entirely modern, using, wherever feasible, recycled materials and those with a small carbon footprint. Solar roof panels will provide the energy to run the new buildings.
Set to start in September 2024 and finish in December 2025, the rebuild has a projected cost of $100 million. Part of the budget was raised through fundraising activities that fans contributed to.
A video walkthrough of the project along with the architect’s design comments are on the club website.
