Denys Fisher had a reputation for producing some very 'different' games - not least Shakeout which involves each player taking hold of a plastic sphere filled with plastic sticks, and having to shake it frantically to 'spill' out the contents. These are then subsequently placed in various combinations upon a plastic scoreboard in a race to create the maximum points. The first Player to empty his 'sphere' and score the most is the winner! An unusual game, and one that is so simple it is consequently overlooked. c1971
