In the first part of Roberta Williams' "The Colonel's Bequest", we are introduced to Laura Bow, a young student at Tulane University in 1920s' New Orleans, as she is invited by her friend, Lillian, to spend the weekend at the remote mansion of her wealthy uncle, Colonel Henri Dijon. Apparently, the Colonel has called together a large family reunion, during which it is announced that he is planning to bequeath his wealth equally to everybody gathered at the table, which leads to a rather spirited discussion. After dinner, with all the guests spread around the mansion, Laura sets out to explore the building and make small talk with some of the Colonel's relatives, including Lillian herself, her drunk mother Ethel, the Colonel in person, and his younger relatives.

Clearly a magnificent game and one I regret not having when I was running a noisy old 8086.
