The Ungame Game, 1975

Summary

An unusual "non-competitive," "non-threatening" board game, the Ungame encouraged adults and children to improve their communication skills by providing personal questions for the players to answer. The game board included spaces called "tell it like it is" and "do your own thing." Parents undoubtedly liked the game more than kids did.
