New York, NY — February 18, 2008 — The Rubik's Revolution™ was recognized as the "Game of the Year" at the eighth annual TOTY (Toy of the Year Awards) at Pier 60/Chelsea Piers in New York. The ceremony, which kicked off the 105th Toy Fair, saluted the best toys developed by the international toy industry for North American consumers.
