Mindtwister USA was founded in 2006, when two Swedish, professional skateboarders came across a game called Pentago. Pentago originated in Sweden and was released into the European market in 2005. Because of the uniqueness and strategy of this game, these two skateboarding entrepreneurs set out to bring Pentago here to the USA and Canada.

Since its humble beginnings, Pentago has won numerous awards and sold over one million Pentago games worldwide. Mindtwister USA has developed into a prolific game company which offers a variety of different board and card games in their line; all of which offer fun, mind twisting gameplay for everyone.

Pentago Lite
Skateboard Madness
To be introduced at Toy Fair New York

The latest Pentago utilizes the sleek design style of the Multi-Player version in the compact ready to go, two-player version.

Pentago is a two-player game in which the object is to create a row of five markers, in any direction, before your opponent does, but with a twist. Each move consists of placing a marker and then twisting one of the four game blocks; simple yet ingenious.

The definitive board game of Skateboarding. This is a fun and original game that features whimsical artwork, unique gameplay, and sponsorship from some of the top names and brands in Skateboarding today including the X Games.

Your goal is to become a pro skater and ultimately win the X Games. Up to 6 players race around the board collecting sponsors and learning tricks from the pros. The game features mechanics that are more in depth then the typical ‘roll your dice and move around the board’ feature found in so many board games.

Despite this, it is very intuitive and matches perfectly to the theme of Skateboard Madness. Fans of Skateboarding will appreciate the authenticity while everyone else will grasp the user friendly mechanics. Featuring many different ways of playing and multiple paths to victory, Skateboard Madness will be fun for the whole family!

Repello
Fandooble
A deeper strategy game that the older kids and adults will enjoy, Repello features incredibly unique game mechanics whose ever deepening strategies become more and more apparent as you play. Each player begins with their own stack of ‘repeller chips’. As players move around the board, more and more chips are placed. No repeller can be next to another repeller. If this happens, they ‘repel’ each other so that they are one space apart. As the board fills up, crazy chain reactions can occur, sending repellers every which way, including off the board, which is the goal. The more repellers on the board, the more unpredictable the outcome! This allows a novice to still have an enjoyable play experience with more experienced players. The winner is the player who pushes off the most repellers, but be careful you don’t get pushed off too!

A wildly fun push your luck dice game for 2-6 players, Fandooble will be a hit at parties, on the road, or waiting for your meal at a restaurant. Kids and adults alike love the artwork, theme, and simplistic gameplay. Players place a pile of the dragons gold in the center of the table. Each player also gets a little gold to start. Everyone then takes turns rolling four dice. Three of these dice have treasure, and dragons. The other has Fandooble, Knights, and Wizards, that can all help you. Roll as often as you want, taking treasure from the dragon or your friends but be careful; roll three dragons and you are out of luck!
