<u>GAME</u> idea, Have sets of six cards with various fanciful  <br>
pictures and names such as "Martians", "Great Gloops",

etc. Ther is one set of 6 cards for each player in  <br>
the game. One of each set is marked as a chief.  <br>
The cards are shuffled and dealt out so that each player  <br>
gets 6 cards. <s>The p</s> A player with a chief card  <br>
tries to locate the other five of his group and get  <br>
them to go with him. The first chief to collect his  <br>
whole group gets a certain number of points, from which  <br>
he must pay out his promises to the members of his  <br>
group - except that a player can only belong to one  <br>
group. First group completed should get the most points,  <br>
etc. This game, of course, is similar to <u>PAYOFF</u>.
 
<u>HAT IN THE RING</u>. Up to 5 can play. Each player has  <br>
a "soapbox" which is a slightly raised platform about  <br>
16" x 16". These platforms are set around a "hat" which  <br>
is made like a flat straw hat ansd is placed upside  <br>
down on the floor. Each player has a set of 15 "vote"  <br>
cards with from 5 to 1 votes noted on them. (5 of 1,  <br>
4 of 2, 3 of 3, 2 of 4, 1 of 5). Standing on their plat-  <br>
forms the players try to throw their cards into the  <br>
hat. If a player can reach another player's missed  <br>
card he can pick it up. Others just remain on the  <br>
floor. After all cards have been thrown there is a  <br>
scramble for votes and all players pick up as many  <br>
missed cards as they can. Then there is a bargaining  <br>
session where players trade to get back their own  <br>
cards. Then they go back to their platforms. This  <br>
can be repeated one or two more times. Most votes  <br>
in the hat wins. Only those touching the bottom are  <br>
counted unless there is a tie in which case the  <br>
tying players can count any that are on the brim  <br>
At my father's tried flipping cards into a bowl.  <br>
Fun.
