In retrospect, I can see that this game was about Dungeons and Dragons, the fantasy role-playing game that, according to legend, was first played in February 1974.
But initially, and while I was searching, I thought it was just about hobbies, which finding HOBBYSHOP confirmed for me.
The real fun for me in this game was spotting two non-game-related seven-letter words, as I usually only see four-letter words as I move around the boards looking for a clue.
