Make digital games that require no batteries. The digits in question are your fingers. 100 years ago, these games were called dexterity toys. Construct a beautiful Meteor marble pattern matching board. Then design your own Pigs-in-Clover Game and another classic marble rolling challenge. Play with games that A.C. Gilbert built in New Haven in the 1920's, 90 years ago. Take home 3 games, 100 marbles, and a new appreciation of the world of your great-grandparents; a world in which toys and almost everything else had no on/off switches.
