Collector's Editions Of The Yahtzee Game & Chess

The ultimate game of strategy and the classic dice game team up with the world's most popular soft drink to bring enthusiasts two games with a refreshing new twist: COCA-COLA COLLECTOR'S EDITIONS of the YAHTZEE game and CHESS. USAOPOLY, licensee of Hasbro, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company and maker of the popular MONOPOLY: COCA-COLA COLLECTOR'S EDITION game, will unveil both games at the 28th Annual COCA-COLA Collector's Club National Convention in Palm Springs .

For generations, Coca-Cola has symbolized fun times with family and friends, said Dane Chapin, CEO of USAOPOLY. This holiday season, we hope our COCA-COLA themed YAHTZEE, CHESS and MONOPOLY games will also capture the spirit of Coca-Cola enthusiasts and collectors of memorabilia.

COCA-COLA COLLECTOR'S EDITION GAME USAOPOLY introduces the YAHTZEE: COCA-COLA COLLECTOR'S EDITION game, a refreshing new version of America's favorite shake and score dice game. Specially packaged in what looks like a can of Coca-Cola, this collector's edition of the YAHTZEE game includes six red and white dice showcasing Coca-Cola icons: Genuine Glass, Bottle Cap, COCA-COLA Polar Bear, COCA-COLA Santa Claus, Contour Bottle and signature COCA-COLA script trademark. Using a combination of luck and strategy, players still roll 'em the same. Full house, small and large straights, four of a kind are all good. Five of a kind that's YAHTZEE! Player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

It was avid Coca-Cola drinker and YAHTZEE game player, Maggie Matthews, Vice President Marketing of USAOPOLY, who was inspired to serve up the unique packaging execution for the YAHTZEE: COCA-COLA COLLECTOR'S EDITION game. We hope fans will especially enjoy shaking and throwing their custom Coca-Cola dice from an oversized Coca-Cola can. Though we departed from the traditional box packaging, the can makes a great shaker and a handy travel game, said Matthews.
