Is Eagles Around the Moon really a game?   Well actually it's probably better described as a puzzle, a challenge or a brain teaser.   It is based on Petals Around the Rose aka Polar Bears Around the Ice Hole.

If you succeed in working out the secret to the challenge, you become a Commander of Alpha MoonBase..   However, you must pledge to be a cruel and heartless wretch who will never divulge the secret of the game to anyone else.   Only those that can work it out for themselves should know the secret of Eagles Around the Moon.
