ENDLESS
GAMES ADDS “WICKED-LY FUN” PUZZLES
TO COMPANY
LINE-UP
BOARD GAME
SPECIALIST PRESCRIBES PROVEN,
LOW COST
REMEDY TO INCREASE FUN, REDUCE STRESS
South
Amboy, NEW JERSEY – January 27, 2008 – Endless Games, America’s
classic board game specialist, announced today that it has added jigsaw puzzles
to its product line. Following its
successful 2008 brand extension of Endless Collectables – authentic
dinosaur and wildlife collectables from Collecta®, Endless Games’ first puzzle
offering is a series of jigsaw puzzles celebrating the 10th Anniversary of “Wicked: The
Broadway Musical”.
“The heart
and soul of the company is premised squarely on the importance of delivering
high quality, family entertainment at affordable prices,” said Brian Turtle,
National Sales Director for Endless Games. “And puzzles, particularly when created in synergy with a
wildly popular theme, such as Wicked, are a natural extension for us to satisfy
our brand promise.“
Along with
being unique, inexpensive and entertaining, solving puzzles is widely
recognized as a valuable means of exercising the brain, starting with a child’s
cognitive development and then in keeping the brain sharp as we age. It is also common to find jigsaw
puzzles on Top 10 lists for both gift ideas and how to reduce stress, as it
delivers countless hours of relaxation and enjoyment for the whole family. Another positive byproduct for puzzle
enthusiasts is that it makes gift giving from others an easy task, thereby
lowering the stress for family and friends as well.
Each of the
three Endless Games’ “Wicked: The
Broadway Musical” puzzles are 1,000 pieces and measure over 19” x 26” when
complete, and each offers a varying degree of difficulty to make them suitable
for adults and children alike. The
puzzles have an MSRP of $14.95, and are available in
stores across the country.
With the
recently successful launch of the Wicked-themed puzzles, Endless Games Puzzles
will soon be adding eight original jigsaw puzzles, featuring an assortment of
themes, to its collection in 2009.

ESPN FOAM
TABLE TENNIS ANYONE?
ENDLESS GAMES PARTNERS WITH
WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SPORTS TO PUT “ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYONE TENNIS” BACK ON
THE TABLE
South
Amboy, NEW JERSEY – January 28, 2009– Endless Games, America’s classic board game
specialist, announced today the development of the ESPN The Official Foam Table Tennis Set™. The game will be showcased – and
ready for play– at the upcoming New York Toy Fair in February 2009, with
shipment ready for June.
Table
tennis was created in the late 19th Century as a playful outlet to
bring tennis indoors. In the
1970’s, table tennis was at the forefront of two major social revolutions. Following exhibition matches with US
players in China, “ping pong diplomacy” opened the doors for President Nixon’s
historic visit. Likewise,
electronic table tennis – in the form of Atari’s Pong, released in 1972
– is recognized as the first video game to achieve significant commercial
success. Today, table tennis is
the largest participation sport in the world; according to the International
Olympic Committee, which made table tennis an Olympic sport 20 years ago, over
40 million people play competitively worldwide.
“The
recent surge in the popularity of table tennis – as attested by the
thousands of fans celebrating their passion in Yahoo, MeetUp and Facebook
groups; the opening of several dedicated table tennis clubs throughout New York
City; celebrity involvement, including Susan Sarandon, Owen Wilson and 50 Cent;
and ongoing media coverage for the sport – makes the case why foam table
tennis is a can’t-miss, Top 10 game for 2009,” says Brian Turtle, National
Sales Director for Endless Games. “Simply
put, people of all ages, nationalities, gender and even political affiliation
are meeting in apartments, dorm rooms, clubs, pool halls, laundry rooms, etc.
to get in on the fun.”
ESPN The Official Foam Table Tennis Set includes all of the fun, excitement and action of
traditional table tennis. Best of
all, anyone can play it – anytime and anywhere – as players can
turn almost any surface in to a tournament-worthy court. The set is comprised of an adjustable,
plastic net that snaps together in seconds, free of any clamps, screws or
brackets, and the foam ball and soft plastic paddles make it safe to play
indoors and out.
ESPN The
Official Foam Table Tennis Set from Endless Games has an MSRP of
$14.99, and is recommended for ages eight and up.

X-CETER-O™ ENDS CENTURIES OF
TIC-TAC-TOE
FRUSTRATION
ENDLESS GAMES ELIMINATES
DREADED TIC-TAC-TOE TIE
South
Amboy, NEW JERSEY – January 28 09 – Endless Games, America’s classic board game
specialist, announced the debut of X-Ceter-O, an enhanced version of the much
beloved game of Tic-Tac-Toe where somebody always wins. This simple to play yet addictive game will
be introduced at the upcoming New York Toy Fair in February 2009, with shipment
ready for June.
Tic-Tac-Toe,
otherwise known around the world as Noughts and Crosses, X’s and O’s, and Hugs
and Kisses, requires only pencil and paper, and is an easy game to learn and
play. Mathematicians have even determined
that the game offers an astounding 255,168 possible
winning game combinations, yet “best play” for the game almost always ends in a
tie, making it a game suitable only for very young children.
To make it
fun for all ages, X-Ceter-O puts an imaginative twist on the classic game, drawing
inspiration from the ancient “Three Men’s Morris” stone game and incorporating elements
of chess and other strategy games. Every set includes six magnetic game
pieces – three O’s marked “1”, “3” and “5” and three X’s marked “2”,”4”
and “6” – along with the familiar 3x3 game board grid. The pieces are
played in numerical order – that is, the “O” marked “1” goes first,
followed by the “X” marked “2”, and so on. Once the six pieces are on the
board, play continues in sequential fashion, with each move exposing the
now-vacated square to the opponent. The action ends only when the first player to achieve the
once-unthinkable, three-in-a-row combination, wins the game.
X-Ceter-O is the
latest addition to Endless Games popular “Quick Picks” line of affordable,
travel-sized, family games. It has
an MSRP of $9.99 and is recommended for ages seven and up.

QUACKGAMMONTM TAKES FLIGHT
WITH
FAMILY-FRIENDLY BACKGAMMON ADAPTATION
If it looks
like a classic board game, plays fun for the whole family, and sounds
affordably priced, it must be
Endless
Games all-new Quackgammon.
South
Amboy, NEW JERSEY –January 28, 2009 – Endless Games, America’s classic board game
specialist, announced the debut of Quackgammon, a family-friendly variation of
backgammon. The never-before-seen travel game will be introduced at the upcoming New
York Toy Fair in February 2009, with shipment ready for June.
Quackgammon is a simpler version of classic backgammon, designed for
quick-play that can be enjoyed by the whole family, including young children. A couple of fun facts that distinguish
this version, among others, and make it a sure Top 10 board game for 2009:
Ø
SMALL FLOCK OF FLYING
FOWL: Each backgammon player moves
his or her 15 checkers (also known historically as stones, men, counters,
pawns, or chips) around the traditional board; in Quackgammon, each player moves his
or her flock of three “mallards” around a peaceful lake.
Ø
SAFETY IN NUMBERS: Rather than gaining protection by
having multiple checkers on one specific “point”, Quackgammon fowl are instead
protected by staying positioned next to each other. Otherwise, that fowl is quite simply a sitting duck.
Quackgammon is part of
Endless Games popular “Quick Picks” line of affordable, travel-sized, family games. It has an MSRP
of $9.99 and is recommended for ages eight and up.

MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORDTM BOARD GAME HITS THE SHELVES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
ENDLESS GAMES GOES “PRIME TIME” AS TV’s MOST POPULAR NEW GAME SHOW GOES BACK ON AIR
South Amboy, NEW JERSEY – November 25, 2008 – Endless Games, America’s classic board game specialist, announced the debut of Million Dollar Password, a board game based on the number one game show on TV last summer. The game is available starting Friday, November 28 at Target and other specialty stores in time for the holiday season.
CBS revived the popular Password game show as Million Dollar Password last summer. The show was hosted by Who Wants to be a Millionaire and daytime talk show veteran Regis Philbin, and averaged more than ten million viewers. Season two returns to CBS on December 21 with host Philbin, and celebrities William Shatner and Aisha Tyler in the first episode, helping contestants win one million dollars.
Now, fans of the Password format and board game enthusiasts alike will be entertained for hours over the frenetic action and high-pressure tension that only comes from this deceptively simple word guessing game. Played just like the TV game show, with two (or more) teams competing, clever communication remains the key as players rely on one-word clues to guess a series of secret passwords.
Endless Games Million Dollar Password edition includes more than three thousand passwords, and adds to the excitement by featuring the thrilling countdown music from the show. The game has an MSRP of $24.99 and is recommended for players ages ten+.

ENDLESS GAMES TO OFFER THE GODFATHER TRIVIA GAME
NEW YORK – December 18, 2007 --Endless Games announced today that has entered an agreement with Paramount Pictures Consumer Products to create a trivia game based on The Godfather Trilogy. Endless Games has long understood the power of evergreen properties that endure with popular culture and has had many successes creating board games based on classic game shows. Now the company is expanding its library and offering an easy and fun way for movie lovers to engage in game play. The game will hit retail shelves next June with an MSRP of $15.99 for ages 13+.
Fans of The Godfather movies will be able to test their intimate knowledge of the five families as they collect cards from each one for correctly answered questions. Players will be able to build a ‘family’ with correct answers – the first player with ten members in a family wins. But, like life in the underworld, you can never be too sure who is part of the family and who has betrayed you --players can order hits to add or lose family members while they test their memory and try to become “made.”

X-CETER-O™ UPGRADES TIC-TAC-TOE FOR “BIG KIDS” ENDING THE CHANCE OF A TIE SCORE
Now A Winner Every Time In This Classic Game Of Three-In-A-Row
Freehold, NJ (November 25, 2009) – During this hectic holiday season, there’s probably nothing more simple and fun to play than the traditional pencil-and-paper game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Little eyes light up when they realize they have beaten their opponent with three X’s in a row. But what happens when they grow up to be 7 or 8 (or 40) and it seems like they always end the game in an unsatisfying tie. With just six moves, there’s always that darn stalemate. But not anymore!
Endless Games, makers of classic board games, introduced X-Ceter-O™ (pronounced like etc.) earlier this year to the delight of serious tic-tac-toe players. With this clever game, the fun continues to 7 or 8 or 9 moves until a winner is declared. There’s never a tie! At just $14.99, it’s an affordable family game that can be played anytime, anywhere and with anyone!
The concept is a simple one. In addition to the typical strategy of placing an X or O on the corner, edge or center square to make three-in-a-row, players continue the game past the stalemate. The O pieces are numbered “1”, “3” and “5” while the X pieces are numbered “2”, “4” and “6.” Players place their Xs and Os as usual, but in numerical order. O always goes first and moves the “1” piece. When the first six moves are exhausted, O moves his “1” again to any open space. X again maneuvers his “2” and so on. The fun continues until someone wins – and they always do!
X-Ceter-O • Ages: 7+ • $14.99
This clever Tic-Tac-Toe game allows the fun to continue after the first 6 moves so there’s no possibility of ending in a tie. Each game box included a board with 9 squares, 3 “O” game pieces and 3 “X” pieces, each numbered for chronological play. Complete instructions are included.
