History
The original version of Stepping Stone was invented by Mary Whitmore Jones around 1900 under the name "Step Up". David Parlett modified the rules somewhat and changed the name to Staircase in his book "Card Games for One". In order to make the game more easily playable on computer, Thomas Warfield again modified the rules and changed the name to Stepping Stone.
