A victory-calculation system proposed by
Venbacker and
Maelberg in 1961, its main feature being that tokens count against the final score of a player (−1 per red, −2 for yellow, and so forth).
Although it never really caught on, and IMCS only hesitantly gave it mention in print, a game being played for the highest Venbacker-Maelberg score is invariably a challenging and intricate one.
