Dec. 26, 2006 - It Stinks!

It's from Columbus and it stinks.

Tracy Turner of  The Columubus Dispatch wrote of a new game:

 "A new board game created by a pair of Columbus gamers really stinks. And its designers couldn’t be happier.  Called P.U. the Guessing Game of Smells, the game challenges young players to race through a Candyland-like board that requires them to choose various scratch-and-sniff cards. Those cards release a range of smells from roses to dog poop. "

Columbusites Russell Pinto and Dale Harris both immigrants to the US developed the game, P.U. the Guessing Game of Smells.

From "The Publisher" on 'The Game Preserve' website:

"Odorville is made up of different venues where people today encounter smell. Rigorous market testing among kids and parents help identify the venues. The game starts out at a farm and then proceeds to the beach, garbage dump, laundry, candle shops, restaurants, outdoors, garages and ends at the carnival. The board is littered with over 300 elements of smell."

According to an online toy store, The Game Preserve, the game is for children aged seven to ten.
