MM3 is MM1's useless son obv, a classic "prince-in-waiting" roué dimwit, more interested in banging cocktail waitresses two at a time than Mastering the Game, let alone his mind: when MM1 vanished, GF1 had MM3 quietly garotted — by GF2, naturally.
GF2, MM1's octopussy-lucabrazz,i had never been his lover, stil less MM3's mom (whose death in penury in Eastern Europe in the mid-50s had pushed MM1 into this mode of life). Caring more about the Style of the Game than mere worldly loyalties or passions, GF2 was swiftly suborned when GF1 made appeal to the Aesthetics of Gangster Succession.
GF3/4 were models hired for the photograph.
i bet if i rooted around mom's basement i could uncover the damn thing

the pimpy mystery (mustery?) of the orig. cover was haff the fun. its what convinced that MY game was way cooler than say, yahtzee or uno or some shit
[restorer's note: this wz some pervy S&M pic relating to GWAR]
Mastermind Episode IV: A New Hope
mark yr proposed cover would have deterred me from yahtzee forever
it was a failed attempt at independence which ultimately proved deadly (GF1 doesn't eff around you see)
this explains why subsequent reissues tidily returned to the standard MM blueprint
in the early GF1/MM1 phase (which note represent the SECOND actual mastermind historically: MM2 was the first, as seen only in poor ly reproduced pix), the words "mastermind" are tilted to square off with GF1's body. In SENHA — which represents one of MM3's indulged silly-ass games — the word "SENHA" is tilted exactly NOT to square off with anyone. Also it is an anag of "ashen", which is how MM1 looked when he gazed on such poltroonery.
thanks

Mastermind: The Next Generation = two kids but no adults?
The Eight = includes Super-Sonic (reposted CB just now); Grand Mastermind (ditto); Senha (but not the version I just reposted: features a hand and someone in a mask?); a rodin's thinker issue; and four others? -- i kinda assume replications of the classic format) (i don't think mine at 11.53 and cb's at 11.57 were included in the eight)
but what was "another piece in the puzzle" and who was the "woman who knows all" (posted by n and alba respectively)?

i may also hyper-abusee the system tudy up the MM1/MM2 confusion which tbh baffles me as much as anyone -- all it is is that i am inconsistent in my naming principle: viz am i using the Real Actual Historical Chronlogy or the Appearances Chronology (ans=i switch around arbitrarily)
