Description



The classic game of strategy which takes "a minute to learn, a lifetime to master". Othello is one of the easiest games in the world to learn, yet it's endlessly fascinating. Players flank their opponents' disks in order to flip them over.

Ruth and Elliot Handler and Harold "Matt" Matson launch a new company named Mattel out of a garage workshop in Southern California in 1945. The first Mattel products are picture-frames, but Elliott soon develops a side business in dollhouse furniture made from picture frame scraps. Harold Matson soon sells out to his partner, and, encouraged by the success of the doll furniture, the Handlers turned the company's emphasis to toys. "Leadership at Mattel is the ability to develop and communicate a compelling picture of the future that inspires and motivates others to take action. Leaders at Mattel align themselves with Mattel's core values, exhibit leadership competencies and drive for success in their business strategies. In this way, Mattel work's to achieve their vision of being The world's Premier Toy Brands - Today and Tomorrow." Every day as Mattel's 25,000 employees worldwide strive to realize that vision, their leadership team is guiding the way. Some of Mattel's brands include, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Toy Story, Power Wheels, Disney Princess, Disney Fairies, Thomas the tank, Thomas and Friends, Elmo, Sesame Street, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Go Diego Go, and Dora the Explorer.

Comments about Mattel 1001134 Othello Game:

I started playing this game with my best friend. We found it in an old box and we got hooked. It is so fun because you never know who is going to win. There is not one strategy to this game. It is a lifetime of learning. Now all the younger cousins play the game. It is our family game and I plan to play it with my kids! I recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun mental challenge!
