My Great Great Uncle Rudolph Lapps invented the game. He was an engineer in Michigan and would travel home to Pennsylvania to see his sister and her two daughters Janice and Betty. When he would come visit he kept the girls busy by making up this game for them to play. It was until he shared this idea with a friend in hopes of marketing it that he ran with the idea to Milton Bradley Games. My uncle never received any money or contributions for his invention but we still have the original game in our family to this day! It was in the early 1900's.
