+The Game of Gale was invented by mathematician and economist, David Gale and introduced to the world by Martin Gardner (who also coined the name). Since then it has been a board game (Bridg-it), a programming exercise and a great pencil-and-paper game (or at least, a great colored-pens-and-paper game).
