	Parlour game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A parlour game is a group game played indoors.
		Parlour games decreased in popularity in the first half of the 20th century as radio, movies, and later, television captured more of the public's leisure time.
		Parlour games are usually competitive, but cumulative scores are not usually kept and the only reward for winning a round is the admiration of one's peers.

		In ((economics) a theory of competition stated in terms of gains and losses among opposing players) game theory, game complexity is a measure of the complexity of a (A contest with rules to determine a winner) game.
		The game tree is typically vastly larger than the state space because the same positions can occur in many games (for example, the initial position appears in all games).
		An upper bound for the size of the game tree can sometimes be computed by simplifying the game in a way that only increases the size of the game tree (for example, by allowing illegal moves) until it becomes tractable.

	Christmas Parlour Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		All ages of people find themselves in the situation where the best thing to do together is a group game, or parlour game (in Victorian times "Parlour" was the word for Living Room or Lounge).
		Games give everyone something to do that is just to do with the game itself - so it's easier to forget who is supposed to be looking after who and how you should be behaving, and just relax and enjoy the game.
		This is a word game and won't work if you have very young ones in the group - you have to work out for yourself if they could cope.

	It's a Shame About Ray...
		Before the game Ray Parlour spoke about how Boro will have to be more concentrated if they want to end in top 4.
		Due to Lazio's 2-2 game last week, Boro is also through in the UEFA Cup no matter what kind of result they get home against Zagreb - very nice.
		Just as you thought everything was quiet on the Parlour front, Ray jumps out and calls for a ban of fans, players, teams and countries who acts racist or fails to do something about the problem!

		In a game at the Riverside which Arsenal controlled without ever hitting their highest gear, Wiltord struck early in the second half to keep the Gunners three points behind United with a game in hand.
		It was by no means an easy game for the defending champions, despite the fact that Middlesbrough contrived only one shot or header on target all afternoon, and nothing was certain until Henry scored with just eight minutes of the game remaining.
		The strikers may have been the matchwinners, but Arsenal, weakened by injury, were inspired by Ray Parlour, standing in as skipper for the injured Patrick Vieira in some style.
