DANVERS, Mass., Feb. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Winning Moves Games, maker of the Rubik's® Cube, unveils a revolutionary new puzzle: Rubik's® Void. The Void is puzzling to comprehend because there's a hole right in the middle of it. Consumers can literally put their finger right through the center of the Void. The object is to solve each side, much like you would a standard Rubik's Cube, but that's where the similarities end. The Void has different colors, rounded edges, and requires a different solution. This is a hole new challenge!

"We are delighted to bring something entirely new and unique to the market with the Void. A Rubik's puzzle without a center space is really something tricky to wrap your head around. Thanks to the ingenious internal mechanism, the Void is extremely durable and twists very smoothly. We think the millions of Rubik's fans will really enjoy trying to solve the Void," said Phil Orbanes, a noted game historian, author of Monopoly®: The World's Most Famous Game & How It Got That Way, and President of Winning Moves Games.

Winning Moves is pleased to announce it has signed a 3-year term extension with Seven Towns, licensor of the Rubik's brand.

Winning Moves Games has delighted game players for more than 15 years with their line of classic and custom card games, board games and puzzles. They are available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Calendar Club Stores, specialty retailers nationwide and at http://www.winning-moves.com.
