University Games' New 'CAN YOU BEAT KEN?' First Board Game With Jeopardy! World Champ Ken Jennings

Jennings Himself to Showcase Exciting Trivia Game that Challenges Players to Beat Television's All-Time Game Show Record Holder

TOY FAIR, NEW YORK, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- University Games, an international game and toy company celebrating its 20th year, today announced it will launch "CAN YOU BEAT KEN?" at the American International Toy Fair in New York. The first board game with all-time television game show winner Ken Jennings, who recently beat his 74th opponent on Jeopardy! to collect $2,520,700, lets players face off against Ken to see if they have what it takes to beat the champ.

Do you know the question to Ken's recent winning Jeopardy! answer?

"Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal, white-collar
employees work only four months a year?"

Correct question: "What is H & R Block?"



"CAN YOU BEAT KEN?" is University Games' latest title in the adult and family category and is sure to steal the show at this year's Toy Fair. Jennings himself will be on-hand to show off the new game and introduce it to the world.

University Games' products are sold at all major game, toy and specialty stores and are available online at www.AreYouGame.com.
