Founded in late 2003, Karmel Games Inc., is an innovative games' company focusing on bringing "intelligent fun"™ to the family and educational markets. The company's founder, Dennis Klein, started Karmel Games after retiring from a career in the computer field. It was his passion for word games that inspired the company's first product, Anagramania®, which became one of the most highly acclaimed games of 2005 and winner of ten prestigious industry awards including a NAPPA 2005 Gold Award and an iParenting Media 2005 Award. In February 2006, the company introduced its second game, Nymble™. Known as the "hilarious game of equals and opposites", Nymble is also a word game, and like its predecessor has already received high acclaim and several awards. The newest game launched is Equalz. This interactive card game for two to six players offers fun for children, parents and teachers, too. In each round, players try to produce multiple arithmetic expressions that match a randomly selected target number. The game tests mental skills and creative ability, and includes an optional buy/sell rule for an entertaining twist. Karmel Games also carries a patent-pending Universal Games Timer (UGT) – a simple-to-use electronic timer that can be used to replace sand and clockwork timers.

Karmel Games is headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California and its products are widely available in specialty toy & game and educational stores, as well as through a number of online retailers and printed catalogs. The company has already entered international markets, with distribution in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
