About the New Games:
Rapid 4 More
Rapid 4 More is a next-generation game that enables more players to enjoy the game together, and puts a whole new dimension to connection games by adding a second board and playing tray. Player engagement reaches a whole new level when players must choose to block their opponents at the request of other players, establish a play of their own, or make a nothing move so that others cannot win.
Bambooga
Bambooga is a human puzzle game where players use color wristbands to bind their hands and feet to one another, leading to a sticky mess of people. The goal of the game is to crawl, walk, scoot or jump one's way towards the finish line, all the while maintaining the connections that are determined by a shake of the Bambooga Shaker. One of the factors that are most notable about Bambooga, is that the game is part of a social entrepreneurship project sponsored by Kids Ark Foundation of Thailand. A portion of the proceeds from the manufacturing of Bambooga will be used by Kids Ark to fund projects that support education and improve standards of living. Additionally, Bambooga is safe and eco-friendly, adhering to "green" manufacturing practices with second-generation cloth material and sustainable bamboo construction. Even the packaging is part of the game.
Pin Black Classics
In January 2008, UST secured the exclusive U.S. rights to distribute the very attractive Black Classic line from Pin International. The line includes Four In a Row, Kalaha, Chinese Checkers, Solitaire and Ludo.
