SENTENCE SAYS TO BE DISTRIBUTED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM BY THE GREEN BOARD GAMES COMPANY

MarBan Industries, Inc., maker of Sentence Says, announced its newest distribution agreement for the Untied Kingdom with The Green Board Games Company of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The exclusive agreement is effective immediately and follows on the recent distribution announcements for Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

“This is the fourth agreement since the close of the American International Toy Fair in New York this past February,” says Sherry F. Martin, CEO and Co-founder of MarBan Industries Inc. “At the previous year’s show we had only a prototype of Sentence Says, this year we have already won several awards, established consumer and brand recognition and have secured distribution in four important international markets.”

Since its introduction in May 2004, Sentence Says, The Quick-Thinking Sentence Creation Game, has achieved a number of industry firsts and received a variety of accolades including five trade and consumer awards, named to a prestigious Top 10 Games and Toys 2004 list and was featured as a premier “holiday buy” in a leading national publication.

“Sentence Says is an excellent game to play,” says Gary Wyatt, director of marketing and sales at The Green Board Games Company. “The game should be extremely successful in the UK and is a great addition to our portfolio.”

The Buckinghamshire-based Green Board Games Company, about 35 miles west of London, also manufactures and distributes its own games in the UK and abroad.

The award-winning Sentence Says challenges players to create a bona fide sentence from letter cards while playing against time, action cards, and the judgment of other players; all while protecting sentences and points from being stolen by opponents.

Consider that the following cards were dealt to a player: M, S, B, J, A, and D. The letter "B" could become "Big," "Before" or any other word that begins with the letter "B." Therefore, an example of a sentence using these cards could be: "My Daughter’s Boyfriend Acts Jealous Sometimes," or another sentence could be: “Dad Bought Mom A Satin Jacket.”

Each word in a sentence must begin with the corresponding letter on the cards. A player can arrange the cards in any order to create a sentence and must first announce, "Sentence Says" before reading the completed sentence aloud. The sentence must make sense and the rules laid out in the action cards must be fulfilled in order to win the sentence points, as found at the bottom of every letter card.

Sentence Says retails for $29.95 and is available in specialty shops, online at www.sentencesays.com or by calling 1-800-959-8611.
