FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WORDXCHANGE EARNS OPPENHEIM’S BEST TOY AWARD GOLD SEAL
Oppenheim Toy Portfolio has given WORDXCHANGE its “Best Toy Award Gold Seal.”
“Fans of Scrabble, Upwords and other word games will find this an interesting and challenging variation,” Oppenheim said. “It’s harder than Upwords and different from Scrabble.”
WORDXCHANGE (MSRP $24.99, ages 10 and up) and WORDXCHANGE Junior (MSRP $24.99, ages 5 and up) are award-winning family games from Prodijeux. Using quick wits and keen strategy, players build their vocabulary and logic skills while trying to outsmart their opponents.
Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, founded in 1989, is an independent consumer reviewer of children’s media. Products judged by Oppenheim are rigorously tested, and Oppenheim does not charge entry fees or accept ads from manufacturers.
The object of WORDXCHANGE is to steal words by adding at least one letter to any word in front of an opposing player and rearranging the letters into a new word. The catch? No word is safe, as players will only keep a just-stolen word until another player adds new letters to make a newer word and steal it a second time. The first player to complete six words wins.
The game, for two to four players, is elegantly designed and includes 126 letter tiles, 14 white plastic easels, black velvet bag, timer and game pad.
Acclaimed for its creativity, challenge and fun, WORDXCHANGE has won numerous other accolades and prestigious professional and parenting awards, including Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Games, iParenting's Media Awards, Learning Magazine's Teacher's Choice Award, Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award and Parent's Guide Award. The Canadian Toy Testing Council awarded WORDXCHANGE its highest rating.
Prodijeux, Inc. (www.prodijeux.com), is a developer of educational games that offer affordable, quality entertainment for the whole family. WORDXCHANGE and WORDXCHANGE Junior are available at leading retailers everywhere.
