Game of Stakes

The Game of Stakes was a period of history beginning on or about July 8, 1947 and continuing through to roughly the time of the Forced Hand Incident in 1984. It begins with the Roswell Incident beginning on the date in question, the development of The Third Power by Majestic-12 in the years that followed, and the subsequent shadow war involving the paired soviet program which began in the aftermath of the Kallamishtëz Incident in January, 1963; the so-called Novanin Project. The game being referred to by the term was said in the popular history to be between the NATO powers and the Eastern Bloc. In Shadow History, it refers to the tension between the Third Power and the Novanin.

The Game of Stakes is said to have resulted in, and been ended by, the Forced Hand Incident.
