In 1981, Doug Rueter entered into a license agreement with a Minneapolis based company to manufacture and distribute SEQUENCE, the family board game he invented. SEQUENCE has been continuously and actively marketed since April 1, 1982 - that’s over 36 years for those of you are trying to do the math. SEQUENCE enjoys world-wide distribution and has sold millions of copies. Doug also invented a game called QB8 which he entered in the 56th Annual Minnesota Inventors Congress Invention and Idea Show in Redwood Falls, MN in 2013. It was awarded the F. ROBERT STARR (GRAND PRIZE) AWARD – it is the ONLY toy or game to EVER win that inventor competition in its 56 year history. QB8 was also awarded a Gold Medal and the PROFESSOR OTTO SCHMITT MEMORIAL AWARD for being “the most creative, innovative or unusual invention exhibited. . .” He has since developed a spin-off of that game called QB8 WORDS - both of which are here tonight. Doug has invented several other games – two of which will be presented to several game companies at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair this coming November in hopes that one or both will be licensed for distribution. Doug will be talking about the inventing process he has used for all the games he’s invented and for the first time will publicly display the original hand-made SEQUENCE game board. Free for SCHS members; $5 for non-members. 6PM Game Signing with a 7PM presentation |
