This wildly popular game was based on a real pastime of the author (and also based on a real place).

Fittingly enough, the game’s name (X) led to the name of another activity (Y) (popular at some universities) that was directly derived from this game.

Which game (X), and what is the activity (Y) called?

Almost everyone got the name of the game. No one got the activity…

Mayukh, that is one awesome box! How in the world did you get your hands on a Kaypro?
