Bossa Studios
From Wikipedia: '...to do something with "bossa" is to do it with particular charm and natural flair, as in an innate ability.'
Bossa Studios is a games studio poised to disrupt the status quo where 'social games' use friends as resources rather than building meaningful gameplay-based interactions between them.
