total of 1,084,766 game-playing minutes from September through December.
Patch Products,
a leading manufacturer of board and card games, organizes the Million Minute
Family Challenge every year to encourage interaction and communication among
family and friends by setting a national goal of playing games for 1 million
minutes during the four months.
A total of 312
