3) Dabble: After 50 years of rejected patents, 84-year-old Brooklyn wallpaper hanger George Weiss sold his first invention in 2011. He had created Dabble, a word game in which each player has five minutes to rearrange the letters he receives on 20 tiles into words. Dabble won Creative Child Magazine’s 2011 Game of the Year award under Family Word Games, and today, Dabble can be downloaded as an app on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
