The Israel Postal Service has issued two new stamps in a special tribute to Israeli inventions: the famous company games Taki and Ramikov. The stamps were designed by the designer Hadar Bar, and cost them two and a half shekels. They will be sold at post offices and the Philatelic Service Store.

Remikov, a blue-and-white Israeli game, is one of the three most played box games in the world, after Monopoly and Scrabble. Today it is the No. 1 export game in Israel, sold to about 59 countries in more than 20 languages, including: the US, European countries and exotic countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, Nepal and Indonesia. Egypt is also expected to join the list of countries purchasing Remikov games, And will be the 60th nation in number to enjoy the finest Israeli produce. It is estimated that every 6 seconds a new Remikov game is produced.

The game Remikov was developed in the 1950s by the late Ephraim Hertzeno, and is produced in Israel by "Vertex". In addition, it was declared one of the 100 best games of the 20th century. The game also has a popular online app, with millions of downloads around the world, making it easy to play with different players.

Taki, one of the most popular games in the history of the country, is produced by the benign, benign animal game company - the inventor of the game. It was invented by him in 1983 and, like Remikov, gained worldwide enthusiasm and is considered one of the most popular and best-selling games in 40 countries. Taki means Japanese waterfall. His designer is Ari Ron.
