EARLY COMPETITIONS The first academic game was WFF 'N PROOF, the original version completed in 1961 and considered the "grandaddy" of all Academic Games. The first national competition was held in the 1966, where WFF 'N PROOF was the only game played, and The National Academic Games Tournament has run continuously every year since then. The national tournaments were originally held at various college campuses, but eventually the traditional site became the Rock Eagle 4-H center in Eatonton, Georgia . LEADERS Robert (Bob) W. Allen was the founding father of The National Academic Games Project and what has become The National Academic Games Tournament. He and his brother, Professor Layman E. Allen, of the University Of Michigan , are the authors of the seven games that are played at the National Academic Games Tournament. Bob Allen is the author of The LinguiSHTIK Game, The Presidents’ Game (originally called “A Man called Mr. President”), World Card (originally called “Americard-Euorocard”), and the principal author of The Propaganda Game, while Layman Allen is the author of WFF 'N PROOF: The Game of Modern Logic, EQUATIONS: The Game of Creative Mathematics, and the principal author of ON-SETS: The Game of Set Theory.
