I'll review this. It'll be sad how many times I will lose the game while reviewing it though. Expect at most a week for me to finish reviewing this. Thanks,  ΤheQ Editor  ^Talk? 21:11, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Lead

• "in several different countries" should be "in different countries"

•  Done

• "A number of tactics" - should be "Tactics"

•  Done

Gameplay

• FN 3 doesn't say anything about "However, one reported variation states that The Game ends..."

• It says "some players claim it ends only when the prime minister announces The Game is up on TV" — I've changed the article to read However, some players state that The Game ends when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announces on television that "The Game is up."

• Don't all strategies focus on making others lose?

• Removed the word "most"

• Last few sentences of paragraph 1 in Strategies is uncited.

• Okay, I've changed that section slightly.

• In here, it states another variation is that if you completely forget about The Game, then you win.

• Mentioned.

• "several petitions" should be "petitions"

•  Done

Origins

• "did not fit with "game theory"" should be "did not fit with the "game theory""

•  Done

Reception

•  Done

• ""You lose The Game"" - should be ""You Lose The Game"" according to the sign.

•  Done

Other

• Would it be helpful if you link to Paradox too in the See Also section?

• Nice idea — I've added it.

• FN 12 resulted in a connection failure. Sources do not have to be online but if it can be fixed, then it would be even better.

• The site only seems to have changed addresses very recently... anyway, I've fixed it.

I was able to review this quickly due to its size and most of the sources are online. Once the issues are fixed, I will have another look through. If there are no other problems spotted, then it gets promoted! Thanks,  ΤheQ Editor  ^Talk? 22:03, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I've responded to your comments. Bilorv ^(Talk)_(Contribs) 22:59, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
