The 'game of logic' is a diagrammatic means of representing two propositions from which a logical conclusion can be drawn and was developed between and as a tool for teaching elementary logic to children.
The 'game' is designed to enable an understanding of the syllogism - a form of logical problem originally defined by Aristotle which gained considerable interest among logicians and mathematicians in the midth century. Dodgson initially set out to explore better ways of solving syllogisms which set him on a path to write a three-volume text on symbolic logic, of which only the first volume Symbolic Logic - Part 1 was published.
Whilst writing the first volume of Symbolic Logic and developing the ideas which were intended for the second and third parts, Dodgson digressed to publish The Game of Logic , a short book intended just to introduce the idea of the syllogism and show how such problems could be solved using his diagrammatic method.
