While it was critically well received and reprinted in 1955, it was not a financial success.

World War 2 veteran Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1954. While it was critically well received and reprinted in 1955, it was not a financial success. As he worked on his next novel (which would eventually become Cat's Cradle), he needed to supplement his income with other endeavors.

One of those efforts was an original board game called GHQ (General Headquarters). He designed it throughout 1956 and attempted to sell it to game companies, an effort that was ultimately unsuccessful. His notes on the game were filed away and Vonnegut's GHQ was lost to us.

Until now.

GHQ is a fast and strategic two-player battle game. Played on a standard 8x8 checkerboard, players command infantry, armored vehicles, artillery, and the powerful airborne regiment, maneuvering to capture the opposing headquarters. Can you skillfully use real-world combined arms tactics and call on reinforcements at the right time to turn the tide of battle?

This first edition of GHQ features deluxe wooden pieces and a 24-page commentary booklet showing Kurt Vonnegut's design notes to give insight into his creative process.

Surprising
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
It’s a heavier cotton, but like it very much will wear it in warm temps as well as colder. Was true to size and the small amt. of stretch makes it very comfortable. Shocked at the price,I purchased fully expecting a bit of dissatisfaction.

knocked 3 stars off because no shirt pocket
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Two stars because there's no pocket. Shirt is actually nice otherwise but I was so focused on finding shirts with button-down collars (so my Sony WXB400 headphones don't escape) that I didn't notice these didn't have a pocket. I always carry a fountain pen so I need that, also for my phone if I'm not wearing cargo shorts with a "technology" pocket. If pockets are important to you, this shirt should suffice. Price is right.

Great purchase
Size: Large, Color: Blue Shark-white
Shirt was the perfect gift for my 21 year old son. The small pattern was perfect and he said that made the shirt cool. The material is comfortable and light enough for warm weather without feeling cheap. Shirt is versatile with the ability to dress up or down.
