Abstract: A game is provided for stimulating innovation and exercising fundamental thinking and communication skills. Each game player is provided with a game card which is imprinted with pictorial illustrations and legends characterizing a predetermined number of different kinds of stories which each player is to tell during the course of play. Each player in turn randomly selects the primary characteristics of a story to be told. The player then randomly selects a randomly predetermined number of graphic images, these being then used by the player in telling a story of the previously selected character. On successfully completing the telling of the story, the player is given a frame to place about the particular pictorial illustration bearing the characterizing legend for the story just told. The game is completed when a player has first provided frames about all the pictorial illustrations on his game card.

Abstract: Matrix of discrete visual representations are presented either as individual cards to be arranged in some pattern, or in a predetermined, fixed arrangement with respect to one another. In the first matrix, a subject arranges a base group of cards presented to him, these cards bearing representations which is a group display examples of the same concept between at least next adjacent cards and which can be arranged in a logical sequence, and then verbalizes what that arrangement means. Cards in succeeding additional groups presented are not logically related to one another as a group, however, certain cards in each additional group have a logical connection to certain cards making up a preceding group. The subject can substitute cards logically connected into the predetermined pattern, making up a new story about what the new pattern means.
