The Thanksgiving Game(TM) Launched to Help Families Celebrate USA’s Oldest Holiday

The Thanksgiving Game(TM) Combines Fun with Tradition to Enhance Gatherings

                               Across America



    LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 19 /EMWNews/ -. The Thanksgiving Game, Inc.

announces the launch of the first and only game on the market for

Thanksgiving. Lexington businessman Louie Stotz invented the game for his

family several years ago as they waited for late dinner guests to arrive.

It was an instant hit with Stotz's family, so much so that they have played

it every year since. The patent-pending game provides a means for

celebrants to start a new tradition while observing an old one.

    Stotz had never considered doing anything more with the game until a

couple of Thanksgivings ago, when his son-in-law remarked that it should be

"shared with the world." Deciding he was right, Stotz enlisted that

son-in-law, Tim Lester, to transform his idea into a retail product. Lester

took the homemade version and developed it into a boxed game that is

available to consumers. More Americans celebrate Thanksgiving than any

other holiday including Christmas, with roughly 90% of the population

taking part.



    The game has received rave reviews, and early retail response has been

positive. Lester describes the game: "ThanksGiving, ThanksGuessing, and

ThanksSharing(TM) are the progressive phases. Participants reflect on their

blessings and fill out multiple game cards. Creativity and competitive

strategy are rewarded, and adventurous players can 'shoot the turkey' for

extra points. The game brings families, from 7 to 97-year-olds, closer

together and makes the season more relevant in a fun, new way. It focuses

attention on what Thanksgiving is all about -- realizing the many blessings

God has given all Americans, sharing them with loved ones, and doing it all

in an interactive, unique manner that would not be possible without playing

The Thanksgiving Game(TM)." Lester adds, "It's the perfect gift to take to

the host home but it really can be enjoyed any time of year, not just

Thanksgiving."



    The game has a suggested retail price of $19.99, can be played by 3 to

20 players and is available on Amazon.com, in all Cracker Barrel Old

Country Stores throughout the U.S., select Kroger stores, Christian

bookstores through STL-Distribution.com, and other retailers. The

Thanksgiving Game, Inc. was founded in 2007 with the singular mission of

sharing the game with families across America.
