Abstract: This invention relates to a heat sealable adhesive composition for packaging for moderate to high moisture food products. The adhesive comprises latex in water with a minimum film formation temperature near or below 25° C. and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer dispersion in water, blocking resistance up to 50° C., heat seal-ability under reasonable conditions of contact time, temperature and pressure, good adhesive properties, and approval for food contact.

Abstract: A game board includes concentric circular areas (outer, middle, and center) each having a respective subset of piece locations. A barrier separates locations in the outer and middle areas and/or in the middle and center areas. Outer and middle area locations and some center area locations are disposed in a ring. Other center area locations are disposed inside the center ring. The barrier has two to four openings for pieces to pass through. A barrier separating the center and middle areas has at most four openings, preferably two aligned on a single diameter. Outer area locations have at least two different visual identifiers. A game includes providing a playing piece set to players, each set having one special piece and different other pieces identical to one another. Each player takes turns to prevent an opponent's special piece from being able to move without elimination of any piece during the game.
