- ... that although the icosian game was advertised as "a highly amusing game for the drawing room", it was too easy to play and few copies were sold?
- Source: For quote from 1859 ad, see Turner (1987); for the claims that it was too easy and not successful see Sowell (2001), https://scholarship.claremont.edu/hmnj/vol1/iss24/14 (and note the dates of these are pre-Wikipedia, too early to be circular references)
