In retrospect, I can see that this game was about Dungeons and Dragons, the fantasy role-playing game that, according to legend, was first played in February 1974.
But initially, and while I was searching, I thought they were just hobbies, something that when I saw HOBBYSHOP confirmed it for me.
The real thrill for me in this game was spotting two seven-letter words that don’t belong in the game, since I normally only see four-letter words when moving around the boards looking for a clue.
