New Game: Sumoku
Sumoku. SUMoku sounds similar to popular puzzle game Sudoku. But, there are tiles to be used instead of just a paper and pencil. In all SUMmoku games, tiles must be arranged in a corssword-style pattern such that each row and column adds up to a multiple of the key number. The key number is the number rolled on the die. The created pattern itself is called a Sumoku. Here at PERC, you may find this game in the General Math section, or under the spotlighted "New Items."
This game is suitable for:
Ages 9 to Adult
For 2 to 5 players

SLEEPING GRUMP
A CO-OPERATIVE GAME
For ages 4 to 7. This game may be played with 2, 3, or 4 Players.
This is a co-operative fantasy game. The story goes like this: A grump has taken all of our village treasures and is now fast asleep at the top of the beanstalk. Together, we quietly climb the stalk to get back our share of the treasures without waking the greedy grump. If awakened he grabs all the treasures back and we must start all over. This is a fun game for young kids; who will use their imagination and enjoy beating the grump.

In Loving Memory.
It has been over a year since Myrna Harbough has passed on, the previous director of 23 years for PERC. She loved PERC and was loved by all. PERC is still going strong with all its support from the community and volunteers. The donations given to PERC in Myrna's behalf were used to buy new items that are things she would especially have liked for us to have. A label on those items designate the items bought in her memory. Look on your items to see if they have "the labels." We want to remember Myrna for all the hard work she put into PERC and in helping PERC continue for all these years. Thank you Myrna.
