Zabazoo Stacking Game Plan for JAKBO!

Toronto, Ontario - (May 8, 2008) – Zabazoo Corporation, creators of the hit game of rock balancing RUK-SHUK, is stacking shelves with another unique game, JAKBO!, a 2-player strategic challenge game that is played up, down, over and around.

JAKBO (MSRP $29.99, for ages 8 and up) starts with 2-players owning an assortment of black or white geometric pieces. The game is played by trying to cross the color pieces across the board to score as many times as you can. However, since he pieces are multi-level shapes, crossing the board is played on multiple levels on every inch of the board. Strategies emerge when players block and defend, while also attacking to get to the other side.

Malcolm Bisiker , creator of JAKBO and president of Zabazoo, said, “We are extremely excited to present JAKBO as a new one-on-one, 3-D mental landscape game. It is easy-to-learn but tough-to-master, whether you play against the same opponent multiple times or against a different opponent every time. Styles and strategies are personal, variable and perceptual.”

Because of the many different shaped JAKBO pieces, the educational benefits of JAKBO quickly reveal themselves in the form of different strategies. As the game is played, opponents assume problem-solving abilities, spatial-relationship thought processes, and cause-effect analysis.

Like all of the products in the Zabazoo line, JAKBO maintains the company’s strict eco-ethos. JAKBO! comes complete with 40 handmade JAKBO! pieces and a wooden game board. Founded in 2006, Toronto-based Zabazoo Corporation designs and manufactures ecological toys with high educational value. JAKBO joins the Zabazoo product line that already boasts the hit, multi-award-winning game, RUK-SHUK, and the new natural construction product, STONEES .
