I built the Matchbox for Hexapawn, detailed in National Geographic Kids!
I didn't know what a Jujube was, but I got the idea.
That Hexapawn article was my first introduction to AI as a kid, though I never actually built it.
Found it in a "Reader's Digest Young Persons annual" which my dad got when he was a kid in the 60s. I still have that.
