However, this was overseen after the emergent technologies were revealed.
The purpose of 9Tens was to supply and deliver customers with the most functional and dynamic games, including toolsets which come with a 3-year warranty and free replacement services.
Hence, it was evident that 9Tens was just getting started with non-electronic gaming sets, especially board games such as Chess, Trivial Pursuit, and Backgammon.
It was suitable for both adults and children to play these games, hence 9Tens received immense popularity and gained profits in the gaming industry.
