Ashton, Maryland (November 18, 2004)-Quinto®, a new board and card game, received the National Parenting Center's 2004 Seal of Approval (see www.tnpc.com).

The National Parenting Center stated in its review that they were intrigued with the familiarity of the board and that they were totally immersed in the game. Because Quinto®contains so many familiar elements found in games like Scrabble, Go, Othello, Rummy, or even Poker, Quinto®appeals to many different backgrounds and age groups.

The National Parenting Center also stated that the rules were simple and easy to understand. There are other variations to add even more spice to the game. The Center concluded, "For family game nights, Quinto is a terrific game to pull out of your game closet."

Quinto®has its roots in an ancient Roman board game called "Calculi" or "Five in a Row." With the addition of playing cards, a scoring system, and chips to replace the old Roman stones, Quinto Game Company has added a modern touch to this ancient game but has preserved the strategy and enjoyment. Quinto®can be played one on one or in teams. Players use playing cards to capture strategic positions on the Quinto®game board and obtain points. The first player or team to reach 500 points wins! Quinto®has various levels of depth and strategy. It is simple to learn but challenging to master.
