KATATU wins Creative Toy 2011 Preferred Choice Award- Curtlin Toys and Games

July 1, 2011 - PRLog -- KATATU, the new startegy board game from Curtlin Toys and Games was honored with the 2011 Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine for abstract board games.  Over 100 teachers, professors, musicians,  moms and dads reviewed, played and discussed over a long weekend to select the toys and games for the 2011 awards.
Curtlin Toys and Games is just about to release this brand new game that is already creating a 'buzz' and is available for pre-order on amazon and will be in local toy stores in the DC metropolitan area.

Curtis Paul, COO of Curtlin Toys and Games, said "CTAG published XTREME TAKEOVER, battle of the Xiacons in 2009 and sold out 5,000 copies in less than a year so we are very excited about KATATU getting into the stores.  We believe KATATU is one of those core games that children should have since variations of the game have been played for over 3,000 years. Like Chess, Checkers, tic-tac-toe or even  Connect Four, the game is 100% strategy based and provides valuable lessons of strategic game play".  

KATATU  takes a few cues from tic-tac-toe, but is much more in-depth and has three phases whereby you place, slide and can fly to capture your opponents game pieces which are cleaverly designed as bubblebees and grasshoppers on a very usefull magnetic game board.  Curtlin even provides a 'bug bag' to carry the game pieces making the game portable and great for on the go or vacation entertainment.
