  • So, I've checked this against the criteria. It's new, long enough, and neutral. Everything's cited to books, so I can't check for paraphrasing, but, I can AGF.

  • Hook checks, but it's actually way understated. The source says first British patent for a board game, which is a much bigger thing. Since the point is a hook, I'd suggest removing the word "musical"? otherwise. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 03:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
