A few weeks ago I posted a request for suggestions for two different types of
games.  I promised to summarize the results, so here they are.

For a strategy game for two the winner is (may I have the envelope please?):

PENTE.  This sounds like a version of 'go-moku'*, i.e. five in a row, but a
number of people said that this is a game that remains involving.  So, my SO's
parents are getting this game.
 (* but the board is different, apparently)

For a mystery solving game, One suggestion for "Sherlock Holmes: Consulting
detective" and one for "Consulting detective" make me think that that is/those
are the game(s) to get.  Whether they are one and the same, I don't know.  I
plan to find out, but since I already got my SO enough presents, that will
wait for another excuse to spend money.

Thanks to all who responded.  -- Clark
