While it was critically well received and reprinted in 1955, it was not a financial success. As he worked on his next novel (which would eventually become Cat's Cradle), he needed to supplement his income with other endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of those efforts was an original board game called GHQ (General Headquarters). He designed it throughout 1956 and attempted to sell it to game companies, an effort that was ultimately unsuccessful. His notes on the game were filed away and Vonnegut's GHQ was lost to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGHQ is a fast and strategic two-player battle game.
