Quinto®, a new board and card game recently introduced by Quinto Game Company, won a 2004 Parents Choice Approved Award from the Parents Choice Foundation.

Ashton, MD (PRWEB) August 13, 2004 -- The Parents Choice Foundation stated in its review that, the best thing about Quinto® is its appeal to all ages." Quinto® contains familiar elements found in games like Scrabble, Go, Othello, or even Poker, which appeals to many different age groups and backgrounds.

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 strategy and depth and is simple to learn but challenging to master.
