Besides his newest game, Indochine 2000, some of the other more notable games of Joli Quentin Kansil are:

Bridgette, Bridgette, launched in 1970 by JQK's first company Gamut of Games, Inc. It is a two-hand bridge game that sold many thousands of sets over a 30-year period. Bridgette is one of only 20 games in the GAMES Magazine Hall of Fame, along with such other classics as Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue, Sorry, Diplomacy, and Acquire. It is hoped that Bridgette will be marketed again in the near future.

Zig-Zag, (formerly My Word!), a secret word game played with a special pad. It was first marketed in 1973 and is JQKs biggest seller except for Bridgette. (In 1994, Zig-Zag was redone and sold in a computer version)

Itinerary, a travel board game launched in 1981. A player tries to be the first one to visit 50 countries and return home. The game is best for three players, and some 250 countries of the world are featured.

Marrakesh, based on the bearing off feature of Backgammon, but utilizing cards as well as dice. This game was the favorite of the editors of GAMES Magazine when it was introduced in 1980. It had a big following for almost 10 years, and it is still sold in Germany.

Grand Slam Baseball, an intriguing game played with special cards, field, score-board, and markers. It was introduced in 1981, but sales were limited as there have been so many games based on baseball.

Montage, a word game played in partnerships with colored chips. Long out of print. When it was launched in 1973, it was called "the word game of the century" by the editors of GAMES & PUZZLES Magazine. Out of print; cannot be ordered.

Krakatoa, a game played with special 12-sided dice. Perhaps JQKs most original game, Krakatoa actually requires physical skill for its play, and it was first marketed in 1984.

Knock-on-Word, a partnership word game for four players. Launched in 1992, it is played on a beautiful inlaid board with lettered tiles and "combo blocks".

Finally, there are two games that have never been marketed, but which are ready, should a large company be willing to take either one on:

Wam-pum, a gambling table game for casino play. Developed during the 1990s, the game is based on Backgammon and a computer version has been designed by games expert Michael Keller.

Boliche [bo-lee-chay Spanish for bowling], a 12-sided dice game that also utilizes a larger single 12-sided die and which is played in a 15-inch by 15-inch court. This game up to now has been too difficult to produce in quantity. It remains, however, JQK's most addictive game, and it can be played solitaire-style as well as by up to six players. As in bowling, the maximum score is 300.
