Out of the Box Games

Comment: I just got a press release from Matt Mariani who works for Out of the Box games. Years ago I wrote a newspaper column (before Bruce Bowman told me that there was no longer room in the EVV Courier for children) and included the game Snorta which we won as a prize for something that we did as a school. Matt read the column and sent us more games. The company Out of the Box is a great company for board games. The games are beautifully made and sturdy and the kids have a great time playing.

Here's the press release:

Hi Judy,

Glad all is going well. As for "reader friendly"....how about this?


Effective August 2007, the ownership rights to three product
lines-Blink(r), Apples to Apples(r) and Snorta(r)-have been transferred
to Mattel, Inc. of El Segundo, CA. Sales for these products have
recently grown to include major retailers and international sales.
Mattel is better suited to produce and distribute products at this
level.

Out of the Box will continue to do what Out of the Box does best-create
innovative party, card and board games that provide fresh, fun, and
engaging ways for friend and family to enjoy time together. Out of the
Box and the specialty market will continue to work together to present
consumers with a wide array of excellent games. The 10 DAYS(r) series,
Cineplexity(r), Qwitch(r), Squint(r), and the many other OTB titles will
continue to be manufacturer, distribute, and marketed.and there are some
great new games coming out this year! 

Here's one of the games mentioned and one we have:

Focus on Fun!

Squint Jr. brings the creative fun of Squint to the entire family. The 42 simple Shape Cards are used to build pictures. The 168 Squint Junior Cards show the name of an item and give an example of one way of building the picture.

Entertaining and educational!
