With the understanding that you, the American public, are striving to become more
aware, Dynamic Design Industries, Inc. offers you any of eight sophisticated adult
games. All are designed to stimulate the mind, promoting insight and understand-
ing of the issues at hand while providing the enjoyment and recreation that you would
expect from a group participation game. Increase your knowledge of "NOW" issues
—Women's liberation, racial inequities, dissention in the cities, competition in
society, body language, politics, home and family. Each game packaged in a
handsome, full- color bookshelf box. If not available through your favorite store,
ask for it... or order direct.
WINE CELLAR An unusually sophisticated adult wine-tasting game that
provides each player, by using his own strategy, the challenge and enjoy-
ment of stocking his own personal wine cellar, while gaining an invaluable
education in the art of wine-tasting, wine-identification, and wine eti-
quette. With each stop on the map, you will learn bits of history about
wine, what qualities to look for in a good wine, and how to speak the
language of wine. Included in the game is a 24 page book by: "The Wine
Advisory Board" as an introduction to wine.

WHO CAN BEAT NIXON? Is a contest for up to seven challengers against
Richard M. Nixon for the presidency of the United States. You can choose
to be one of eight candidates—Nixon, Sen. George McGovern, Sen. Edward
Kennedy, Mayor John Lindsay, Sen. Edmund Muskie, Sen. Harold Hughes,
Gov. George Wallace, or if those candidates don't suit you, then run as
the "dark horse," with the name of the candidate of your choice—maybe
your own. If one new face isn't enough substitute other candidates for
those suggested. To win, the challenger or Nixon must be the first to
gain 270 electoral votes of the 538 cast by the state electoral colleges.
Players obtain electoral votes by a combination of money and media
points, printed on the game board.
$7.00.
THE FAMILY GAME How long has it been since you really had fun with
your family? Wouldn't you really like to know more about them and more
about how they feel about you? In The Family Game you get a chance to
increase and test your understanding of yourself and other family mem-
bers and have fun while doing it. The Family Game is not a simulation,
so you can be yourself in the game and compete with the other family
members to be the first player to be "Home Free." Do you really know
the people in your family? Play The Family Game and find out. They may
be more aware of your feelings than you realize.

BLACKS & WHITES How much can a white person understand about the
black struggle for economic opportunity and political equality? Quite a
bit, when you play this widely hailed game of social action. Blacks & Whites
will give you more of a feeling for the nature of black-white relationships
than any book you could read—because you are there. What is it like to
be economically and emotionally frustrated by the very structures of
society? Why is the ghetto both a place and a state of mind? Why is wel-
fare money doled out in amounts that are sufficient to keep you alive...but
not enough to really let you live? What are the whites doing that keeps
black anger so thoroughly alive and growing? When you play Blacks &
Whites,
you get the insider's view.

THE CITIES GAME Why are cities falling apart? Why is transportation
so bad? Why is the air almost unbreathable and the streets littered with
refuse? How did so many city people become so paranoid? And more to
the point—what can be done about it all? The Cities Game gives you a
working insight into the reasons for urban collapse...as well as the
ways in which corrective action can be effectively taken. Cities are peo-
ple in large groups, and cities begin to come apart when people begin
to come apart—when they can no longer find ways to communicate with
each other, and through communication work together toward common
goals.

BODY TALK Chances are there is a serious gap in your education. In
this country, we are rarely taught how to use our bodies as effective,
conscious communicators. Body Talk is designed to help remedy this
situation—and it's plenty of fun, too! How do you say "I love you" without
opening your mouth? How do you signal concern to another person without
using words or a facial expression? How would you show fear with your
hands alone? It's a lot of fun to find out how you would do all these things
—and an important education in the communicative possibilities of your
physical being. Since scientific research has indicated that as much as
93% of the impact of what you communicate to others is conveyed by
nonverbal means, it is a matter of some importance that you learn more
specifically what these means are.

WOMAN & MAN The War Between the Sexes, unlike most other wars,
has seen a lot of fraternizing across enemy lines. This has been fortu-
nate for love, babies, passion, literature and unemployed poets—but
very unfortunate for women who want to be recognized and treated as
equal members of society. Woman & Man aims to help correct this situa-
tion by making both women and men more conscious of the sinister, sly
ruses and bias of traditional man-woman relationships.

SOCIETY TODAY Society Today is a game you already know a good deal
about—because you have been playing a version of it since the day you
were born. What counts in this game is what counts in life: your knowledge
of people and events, your judgment, your confidence in yourself, your
skills and, not least of all, your luck. You make plans, only to see them
evaporate when larger social forces (like wars and recessions) take a
hand. You could land in Limbo or be thrown into jail, perhaps for a crime
somebody else committed. You are called upon to give your opinions on
some of the most burning social issues of today (and in the process, to
become much more aware of what you actually do think about some
issues you may not have examined in depth before).
