Press Release Summary = Hip Hop + Board Game

Press Release Body =
BLING BLING 2002(TM), a new board game based on Hip Hop\'s favorite dice game, C-LO,
has been introduced to the market by The Gameologist Group LLC and 456
Productions.com, two Atlantic City-based, minority-owned companies. Geared to the
urban youth market, the game capitalizes on the notoriety of C-LO, which has been
played in music videos of such Hip Hop and R&B stars as Biggie Smalls, Jay Z, Nas,
Cameron and many others.

BLING BLING includes a sound track and a documentary DVD with tracks which are
exclusive to the game, together with interviews by Hip Hop artists, including Nu
Jersey Devil, DJ Envy, Jim Jones, Sam Scarfo, Riz, DJ Fah, Black Rob, Big Smoke and
The King of Kings, among others.

The Hip Hop community has been quick to react. Def Jam artist Sam Scarfo said, \"This
game is definitely for the Hustlers.\"; Black Wall Street artist Nu Jersey Devil
commented, \"It\'s one of the hottest games I\'ve ever played.\"; Bad Boy artist Black
Rob exclaimed, \"What? That\'s crazy! I won mad money playing C-LO. Make sure I get a
board game!\"; Universal Recording artist Merlino said, \"The hood is going to love
you for this!\"; and Dipset\'s Jim Jones quipped, \"C-LO on a board game is a beautiful
thing!\"

Players become adventurers in an inner city setting, trying to gather up as much
money and property as possible in the 30 to 60 minutes that it takes to play. Using
the popular C-LO game play to move on the board and accumulate cash and property
with which to erect urban city projects, players encounter ups and downs in the
process of their turn. They can win or lose money, move their playing piece to \"The
Bank Statement,\" or play \"C-LO Heads Up\" with the Bank for cash or land on \"Now
Whut?\" and find their fate in the unfortunate and sometimes hilarious inner city
\"hoods.\" The player that acquires most of the cash and property, is crowned
\"Ultimate Hustler,\" a title which brings with it opportunities for bragging and
\"talking trash.\"

\"The timing is right to introduce the BLING BLING 2002(TM) line of games to
mainstream audiences,\" said CEO Jeff McGill, a/k/a SMOKE. \"BLING BLING is a game
that the inner city demographic can relate to: the lingo, the situations, the pit
falls and the come ups,\" he continued. Intended for two to eight players, the board
game is the \"Ultimate Hustler\'s game,\" according to McGill, who said that the new
release is subtitled, \"Part 1, The Takeover,\" and that it is the first in a series
of Hip Hop games planned for release in 2006.

A portion of proceeds from the sale of the all games will be donated to The
Gameologist Group Community Trust, and the funds distributed to non-profit groups
which provide assistance to inner city residents of metropolitan Atlantic City.
