Compleat?
Nice find! The last vestige of the '70s in the shop? Is that an office of the judges (staff)? #judgesguild
Zach H Could be, since there doesn't seem to be any product of the era in there. :)
Looks like it's over the door to their back (side) office.
Roger Giner-Sorolla Correct. The door is towards the back on the right side of the store as you head back from the storefront.
Richard G, that's how it's spelled....thecompleatstrategist.com - Games | Manhattan | The Compleat Strategist
Must be the same influence as The Compleat Adventurer, The Compleat Alchemist, etc.But I'll confess I don't know the significance of the spelling...
I'm pretty sure they're all referencing the Compleat Angler, which I must get around to reading one day.en.wikipedia.org - The Compleat Angler - Wikipedia
Ah. There was no limit to Izaak's genius....
Hmm, the wood paneling might be another vestige of the '70s.
The Compleat Strategyst was RAND Corporation's 1966 book that introduced Game Theory to the everyman. Yes, it was inspired by the Compleat Angler. Here is a free copy (dig the illustrations): rand.org - www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/commercial_books/2007/RAND_CB113-1.pdf
Here, let me show you a comparison. My Strategyes are the Compleatest.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/WYQbLZog3Mt-wTJ-ku15q1QRSxoyHRE1G6NxwPwBrD4p_lLzXQU4cfT3CkC3nACmiK_XiDKRPja6xMtovSmnEqwtEEftGGAfsXw=s0
They still remember Car Wars, too. Were you a member of the AADA?https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SOYz6exDwL4B2S5FbOX5zh69PjLnkh6AL1DR43FFb6V9TWh4NnfgjL5pO98oWfzUnvt6Dw_J6cftw_8DeUzz5nwu2gInyzMjbdk=s0
