About the Company
President of Playroom Entertainment, Daniel Rowen is thrilled about the Award, saying, "We are so proud of ZOKI - it crosses so many boundaries of game-play. It's a strategy based competitive game and it's a brainteasing solitaire game. It teaches mathematical principles, logic, and statistics to older players, and it teaches basic counting and matching skills to younger players. It literally has hundreds of games, all in one box!" He, his friends, and family gather together almost daily to play ZOKI.
Co-owner Tony Ahluwalia says, "ZOKI is a game that brings people together ? friends or family, even total strangers! We had a tournament at a recent consumer trade show, and people were crowded around the table giving suggestions on what the players should do. The response was amazing, and everyone was really into it!"
Along with the ZOKI Card Set, Playroom Entertainment offers the ZOKI Travel Deck and the ZOKI software CD-Rom, which is included in every Card Set. A new "flash-software" version of the ZOKI software will debut in early 2002, which will be playable online at the ZOKI.com website ? either solitaire or interactively over the web.

Play Your Cards Right!
The fully patented ZOKI game concept is a cross between traditional playing cards and dominos, in the fact that solitaire, competitive and group games can all be played with the game pieces - and they can be played as either numbers, symbols or shapes. The intriguing ZOKI game format was created by a mathematician, ensuring a unique game play experience each time! In addition, puzzles as well as strategy, memory, and card games can all be played with ZOKI - the range in types of games varies for all age levels, skill of play, and number of players. The unique aspect of ZOKI is that the game can be played in so many ways and in so many formats: cards, tiles, on the computer, and interactively on the Internet. In addition, educators are also looking forward to the Teachers Educational Kit that will soon be available that reinforces the critical thinking, visual perception and decision-making skills as well as the mathematical, strategic and hand-eye coordination abilities of those of all ages. Known as The Universal Game, ZOKI is perfect for those ages 4 to 104 and for 1 to 6 players. Whether someone is in the mood for a complex brainteaser, a simple card game or a fun family activity, ZOKI is ideal for all game players, as it is The Game Designed With Everyone's Mind in Mind!
ZOKI retails for a suggested price of $14.95 and is available at specialty toy and game stores nationwide and internationally. It can also be purchased by calling 1-866-999-ZOKI or by ordering online at www.zoki.com.
