A HAMPSHIRE-based company which launched a card game designed to boost children’s knowledge in history has gone from strength to strength.

History Heroes, based in Ropley, was re-launched last year by local resident Alexandra Ehrmann in order to help children develop an understanding of history.

The pocket-sized card games contain over 1,000 years of history with 40 of the “greatest heroes” across different themes.

The themes cover explorers, scientists, World War One Heroes and Sports Heroes and went on to help the company win Junior magazine’s 2014 Best Toy Design.

Ropley Primary School has even adopted the new games to help stimulate learning across their classrooms.
