The One True Game
This refers to the Original Dungeons & Dragons published in 1974. It is truly The One True Game and provides more fun and enjoyment than any other game ever devised. Only above average people can play the game since those with less than normal (i.e. above average) have enough intelligence and imagination to play The one True GameOne
One thing about The One True Game, it has few adherents since most people are too lazy to play the real thing.
