Published in an edition of 2000 numbered copies. Human Inference is a company that advises in the field of customer interaction. The game was used as a promotional material in 1994 for the introduction of a (then new) software package from Human Inference called Name / IT. This package consisted of four modules (capital letter conversion, format conversion, validation and shortening and dividing), with which the names of, for example, persons and companies were correctly put in upper and lower case or it was determined whether a certain name was actually valid ( Jansen is a correct surname, but Jannnssen is not). In the game, the four modules were explained in a playful way. (source: HONG (Historical Overview of Dutch Board Games)) As far as is known, all boxes are signed by Peter de Smet. The numbering is on one of the cards. There are also copies where the numbering (H.C ...) is written on the box by hand.
