Pywacket Games is expanding the distribution of its Keesdrow game this holiday season, after its initial run of 5,000 games sold out in under 60 days after its release in October, 2005. The expanded distribution includes Borders and Herberger's, Younkers, Carson Pirie Scott, and Elder Beerman department stores, in addition to independent retailers.
Keesdrow ('word seek' spelled backwards) uses double-sided letter tiles and plastic pegs on a game board. There are two SKUs. Keesdrow ($24.99) has 36 plastic tiles, the Deluxe version ($29.99) has 64 hardwood tiles.
The game has won a number of awards this year, including Mensa Select Top 5 Mind Games, Dr. Topy Smart Play/Smart Toy, and Parents Choice Recommended awards.
