It has an agreed set of equipment and of procedural "rules" by which the equipment is manipulated to produce a winning situation.</pre> From David Parlett, The Oxford History of Board Games.

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming, The clouds me thought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked I cried to dream again. </pre> (Caliban in The Tempest, William Shakespeare) O..." current

Based on 80 column line length of telex, selectrix, vt100, and even 1928 IBM punch cards. Maybe based on the size of the dollar bill in the late 19th century.
