Spanish term

Tembleque

Spanish to English Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports children's games
This is a Spanish game. It appears in a marketing idea for a popular chocolate bar, there's no more context than what appears below except that it is in the "Fun for Kids" section...anybody heard of it?

Cada XXX es una pieza de Tembleque. Para
comer jugando...

Hi Lisa: I just saw Noni's explanation and I found this if it helps http://www.ciao.es/Quake_Midway__Opinion_101542 but I would leave as is as Noni as suggested (sorry about 1st posting).
Lisa Mann (asker) Jun 13, 2007:
I don't think its a food because the Tembeque pieces are made out of a chocolate bar - the product is a chocolate bar - I think it's a game you need different pieces to play and these can be made from chocolate...

Tembleque

Leave it as it is: it's the name of a game. There is a computer game of this name, but this won't be the same. I suspect it's more like "Jenga" which I think is also known as "topple".

Ah, not "Topple", that's another game. Careful with those trademarks! Por cierto, veo que Topple se vende como "Juego de Equilibrio" en español.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot. I thought it might be something that we have the equivalent of in English, but apparently not. I asked all my Spanish friends and nobody had ever heard of it. I left it as it was with a note to the client. Thanks again!"

shaker / shaky / tremble/r

Tremble or Tremble could be a good name for it if you must translate it, since "tembleque" means a shivery (trembling), shaking person or thing.

Depends on how the game is played I suppose...
