Kim's Game was/is used to develop a person's capacity to observe and remember specific details. In Kipling's Kim the game was used to train Kim and other students in the art of clandestine operations in Central Asia and Northern India. While there a number of variations on the game, the fundamental set-up is one where there are a number (perhaps 20) of objects on a table; these objects can be anything from stones, knives, coins, pencils etc. The trainee would be shown the objects for a full minute and then the objects would be covered with a cloth. The trainee would then be asked to list as many of the objects as possible - the trainee who could name the most objects would win the game. After playing the game for a while, Kim could not only name all the objects, but he would be able to describe each object in detail. More advanced versions of the game involve removing objects one by one and asking the players to name which object has been removed. This article is about the novel by Rudyard Kipling. ...
