ESCAPE TO PARADISE AND LOSE YOURSELF IN WORD MONACO

BOTHELL, Wash – July 31, 2006 - - Sandlot Games, a leading publisher of entertaining PC games announced the release of Word Monaco, a truly challenging and innovative game set in the French Riviera. Already a chart-topping hit on Palm OS® devices, Word Monaco will engage any player who enjoys either solitaire-style card games, word games, or both. Word Monaco is available for purchase at www.sandlotgames.com and will soon be available on all other major portals.

In Word Monaco, relax under the warm sun of the Mediterranean and play a unique blend of word-creation and solitaire. Against the backdrop of a sandy Monaco beach, the Royalty Café, a high-stakes Casino or a number of other exotic locales, you are presented letters in columns similar to cards in a game of solitaire. Create words by moving letters from column to column and use power-ups to score bonus points. With a word list of over 50,000+ words and 5 decks of varying difficulty, there are endless possibilities.

“Word Monaco is a great addition to the Sandlot Games catalog of exciting, innovative and top-selling online games” said Daniel Bernstein, CEO and President, Sandlot Games. “Players have come to expect creativity and innovation from our titles and Word Monaco delivers this on many levels.”

“We are excited to release Word Monaco in partnership with Sandlot Games,” said Todd Sherman, president of Smart Box Design. “Their guidance and understanding of the casual gaming market resulted in a game that will appeal to word and card players alike.”
