Savannah, GA (PRWEB) November 28, 2008 -- Mic-O-Mic Americas Inc.'s LONPOS 303 Pyramid and Rectangle Game, with its 363,566 challenges, received THE TOY MAN's Seal of Approval, Award of Excellence and Editor's Choice Award for 2008. Huge sales of this game result in reduced prices.

These prestigious awards were first awarded to this game in 2007 by The Toy Man who decided that the game should be re-evaluated both by himself, a Child Psychologist/ Behavioral Analyst, a Plastics Design Engineer/Q.C Evaluator and by Consumers in order that his original evaluation could be fully confirmed and enlarged upon.

The evaluation can be read in full by going to: http://www.thetoymanonline.com/product_review3.html?p=LONPOS%20303%20Pyramid%20and%20Rectangle%20Brainteasers

Like one of Mic-O-Mic Americas' other LONPOS products, LONPOS 101 Pyramid and Rectangle Game, this is pocket/purse size and makes a wonderful travel game. The difference is that LONPOS 303 has three times as many preset challenges than LONPOS 101 and its competitor from Educational Insights (Kanoodle).

Playing with LONPOS brainteaser games enhances math skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, concentration, cognitive skills and self-confidence. At the same time, they are fun and even addictive. They are great fun when two or more players vie with each other to see who can finish a problem first, perhaps to win a prize.

For educators, they are terrific classroom tools to help children enhance the skills mentioned above.

This game has 360,984 rectangles (of which 256 are preset) and 2,582 pyramids (of which 47 are preset) that can be assembled using the 12 game pieces (pentominoes) included, providing hours and even years of brain teasing fun.

Because of the huge success of this game, pricing terms recently were renegotiated resulting in the Recommended Retail Price being reduced from US$24.99 to the new Recommended Retail Price of US$16.99.

LONPOS 303 also has been given the following awards:

Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal, NAPPA Gold Award, Parents' Choice Gold Award, Toy Tips Mark of Excellence, Dr. Toy Best Products, 100 Best Children's Products and 10 Best Games awards, Mr. Dad Gold Award, iParenting Media Award, The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, Creative Child Magazine Top Toy of the Year (brainteaser games), Major Fun Award (thinking games), Real Gaming Seal of Approval and Award of Excellence.

It also has been recognized by National Lekotek Center's AblePlay™ Rating Program as being "Good" for children with sensory, communicative and cognitive disabilities.

Inquiries are invited from resellers wishing to find out more about our products and the recently reduced wholesale pricing.
