Foros Game Wins Three Top National Honors From Parents, Good Housekeeping, and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio All In One Incredible Year
Rockingham, VA (October 17, 2025) – In an extraordinary accomplishment that few toy companies ever achieve, family-run Doren Toy Company has captured a rare “trifecta” of major toy industry awards for its hit wooden strategy game, FOROS. The beautifully designed, fast-to-learn stacking game has earned recognition from three of the most respected names in the industry: Parents Best Toys Awards 2025, Good Housekeeping’s 2025 Best Toy Awards, and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award 2025—all within the same year.
Winning even one of these awards is a huge achievement for any brand. For a small, family-owned publisher like Doren Toy Company to earn all three in a single year from Parents, Good Housekeeping, and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio is almost unheard of in the toy world. It is a rare and remarkable trifecta that underscores just how special FOROS is.
The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, known for its independent, hands-on testing, called FOROS “destined to become a classic.” On the organization’s official Instagram, Stephanie Oppenheim shared: “The new board game Foros is destined to become a classic. Our testers loved that the board comes with two different sides to play on. The game play is much like a mash up of tic tac toe and Connect Four but with lovely wooden pieces. You can play one on one or in two teams. Great fun!”
Crafted from beautiful maple wood, FOROS’ innovative 3D gameplay invites players to think strategically, stack cleverly, and engage socially, whether it is family game night or friendly competition among friends. The game’s blend of simplicity and sophistication has made it a standout in the “big kids” category and a favorite among parents, educators, and toy testers alike.
