Stewart invented “Max” a board game similar to “Tic Tac Toe.” In May 2017, Stewart began negotiating with Big Board, Inc., to license “Max” for distribution outside the United States. On June 11, 2017, the parties met and orally discussed terms. As compensation, Big Board promised to pay Stewart the amount due from another board game he had developed for Big Board two years ago. On June 26, 2017, Lisa, a Big Board employee, sent Stewart an email titled “Max Deal” that repeated all terms previously discussed and added that they “have been agreed to by Big Board subject to a written contract” and was signed with an electronic signature “Best Regards Lisa”.On July 01, 2017, Stewart emailed Big Board a more formal draft of the terms prepared by his lawyer, which Stewart signed, stating the contract needed to be signed and returned within 10 days but Big Board did not sign or return the contract. Big Board subsequently displayed Max at its pre-Toy Fair in August 2017. After the fair, Big Board sent Stewart an unsigned email saying that it no longer wished to license his game.
