Rudyard Kipling described one of the most popular scout games in his novel "Kim".
The game is called also "Kim" - as the name of the main character in this novel - a small boy who had to be a spy - and it teaches us how to be more perceptive.
The rules are easy:
after having a good look at hte things lying on the ground, you should notice which of them disappeared, when everything was mixed, when nobody looked at it.
When I reflected, I came to the conclusion that instead of describing the game - it's better ro represent the rule of making games. In the same way as I did it while I was describing diffenrent kinds of survival. Some elements (equipment, time of duration, place, participants) will be recurred.
Now we should take into account everything to create a game:
Sometimes we can create something like that example.
