New Games Book
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Games Book and its companion, the More New Games book, were resources developed for the "New Games" movement to encourage people to play non-competitive or friendlier games. Many of the "New Games" may now be seen played, in their modern variants, by church youth groups, summer campers, and even [in some cases] gym students.
The New Games movement was first spearheaded by Stewart Brand, George Leonard, and Pat Farrington. The three organized the first "New Games Tournament" at Gerbode Preserve in October 1973. The Tournament was funded by The Point Foundation.
The success of this tournament led to the creation of the New Games Foundation which published the New Games book in 1976. This book was questioned many times but it was decided to publish it.
