There is a false belief that the inventor of Twister was Reynolds Gaer (Reynolds Guyer). The fact that he was just a businessman who took part in the destiny of this sports game in the early stages of life. If we look Patent 3 454 279, the original of which is kept in the Patent Office of America, it becomes clear that invented Twister Charles F. Foley and Neil Century of Rubens who worked in the company of Gaara.
An interesting fact is that Gaer stubbornly wanted to strip Twister "brand" roulette and strongly pressed on the developers, claiming that the dice will be a more convenient way of determining where any part of the body to put. Even when the decision was made to sell the development a larger toy company Milton Bradley (Milton Bradley), prototype, sent to the future owner, kept playing dice. Only thanks to the perseverance and ingenuity of Charles Foley (who sent the prototype to the buyer) managed to save the idea - he just replaced the dice on roulette. From a marketing perspective, that's right: with roulette Twister is more child like game for kids. With playing the same bones (which established a bad reputation among parents) it is seen from the position games for adult company.
The success story of the game Twister is also remarkable. In the first years of Twister not enjoyed great success with customers. Most likely due to the politics of leadership Milton Bradley: if we produce toys, we should be conservative and rely on sredneamerikanskoe mother 35-45 years. Thus, they are incorrectly positioned their products and chose the wrong group of buyers: the calculation must be done for young people aged 15 who Twister allowed not only fun, but also to show the beauty and flexibility of your body, and also to look at the charms of the opposite sex. Young people will not seek Twister (the game for a large adult company) among dolls and cars.
But the time to explain everything: the third of may, 1966, an incident happened that changed Americans ' attitudes toward the Twister (or, to use "corporate style" - tied it in a knot). Tonight half of America's families gathered to see the famous show johnny Carson (Tonight Show - similar to our "Good evening, Moscow). TV shows are very popular, and there was such a Star invited - the sex symbol of the time, actress Eva Gabor.
And now, after a series of questions about the life and career of johnny Carson offers eve to play Twister! Say, then Eva Gabor was dressed in a long evening dress with large slit that opens lovely legs. Johnny spins the roulette wheel, and eve elegantly puts foot on the red circle - the game went. It was a blast! The transfer has not yet ended, and the people in front of the TV already telephoned a familiar shops for purchase of Twister. Remarkable fact: for the first year after this show eve has sold more than three million boxes of Twister. Everywhere were the tournament Twister, it took on pikney and parties - he got game status for a large adult company. Competitors even tried to accuse Milton Bradley in "selling sex" (as reported in those years), but have tried to create something similar. Of course, it was pathetic imitations which simply could not surpass the original Twister.
Now the rules of the Twister is owned by Hasbro and other companies produce it under license. One Twister now will not meet! And simple, and the Tick Twister and Twister Max - hundreds of options.
As they say in the Guinness Book of world records, the largest game of Twister occupied an area of 436, 6 m2 on the mats, which were connected together. The previous record for the largest game was played in the Netherlands in April 2005 on the mats area of 227, 9 m2.
Rules
In "Twister" is played on a plastic Mat size 150x180 cm, spread on the floor or on the ground. On the Mat shows large colored circles (red, yellow, blue, and green) in four rows of six pieces each. Special roulette is attached to a square Board and serves as a generator of randomness. Roulette is divided into four sections: right leg, left leg, right hand and left hand. Each section is divided into four color. After rotation is called combination (example: right hand on yellow) and players must move their appropriate arm or leg at a point appropriate color. In the game for two participants cannot put the arm or leg in the same circle. Rules may vary for larger numbers of people. Due to the lack of colored circles, players will often be required to put themselves in an uncomfortable or unstable position that will ultimately lead to the fall somebody. People retire, if he fell or when his elbow or knee touches the Mat. There is no limit on the number of players at the same time, but more than four is hardly included.
