84-Year-Old Man Invents Award-Winning Word Game
George Weiss has been an inventor since the 1950s, and he received his first patent in 1958, but he’s never had a big success. But now, after about 80+ inventions, he just might have it.
The 84-year-old’s word game Dabble has won the 2011 “Game of the Year” Award (in the Word Games Category) from Creative Child Magazine in the United States, and has been picked up for distribution around the country. “With a little luck, this might be a big game,” says Weiss.
Dabble is known as “The Fast Thinking Word Game”, and the game is pretty simple to play. Each player gets 20 letter tiles, and the object is to create 5 different words within 5 minutes – a 2-letter word, a 3-letter word, a 4-letter word, a 5-letter word, and a 6-letter word.
You can expect to see this game in the UK before long and Game Stack will let you know as soon as it becomes available.
