Morning everybody.Now,as you know,this morning we're going to talk about our latest products in our range of games.Before we talk about the selling points of each game,I'd just like to describe them briefly.I'll begin with this general konwledge game called Mindtwist,which comes in two versions:a standard size and a travel size.

As you can see,the differences are size,weight and,of course,cost.The standard version has a normal size board,two packs of cards,six wooden playing pieces,a timer and two dice.The travel size,Mindtwist Travel,is obviously smaller:it has a thin,light-weight,magnetic board which measures just 23cm square.The cards are smaller and the four playing pieces are magnetic counters which are made of coloured plastic.The total weight is only 300 grammes.The standard version will retail at &10.99.

And now I'd like to show you another new game called Collect.This is a card game for three to six players……

R:So Sophie,how are our products selling?

S:Board games are the big seller at the moment.They're selling better than ever before?

R:Good,so you might be interested in having a bigger range of our board games then.

S:Yes,if there's anything different.

R:We've got Mindtwist.It's our newest board game.The game itself comes in two versions:standard and travel.The games are basically the same but the travel version's lighter and smaller.There are also fewer playing pieces.

S:I stock several general knowledge games already,but I don't have a travel size.I might be interested in that.

R:Right.This is it.You can see it's nice and compact.

S:Mmm,it looks interesting.Are the instructions easy to follow?Some of your games have very complicated instructions.

R:Yes,other customers have told us that as well.So we've made the instructions easier.But

I have another travel size game,called Collect.It's even easier to play.Let me show you.It's a card game based on the television programme Collectables.You know,antiques.

S:Oh yes.

R:And it isn't as big as the board game either.

S:Hmm,well,it sounds different,but I'm not sure it'll sell as well as the board games.Not everybody's interested in antiques.Anyway,what's the recommended retail price of the Mindtwist travel version?

R:10.99.

S:That sounds reasonable.And what would you be willing to sell it to us for?

R:9.99.

S:Would there be a discount on large orders?

R:Not on Mindtwist on its own,no.But if you were to buy both versions of Mindtwist,I could give you 5% on both games.

S:Ok,I'll take them both,but I'll order just a few to start with.

R:Good.I'll get an order form.
