connections, regardless of which numbers. Also the number of such connections can be a measure of the victory.
GAME idea. Fill in letters taken from some reading material at random in a layout like that shown.

[Diagram of a group of seven sets of spaces that look to be partial words. Letters from different words are connected via arrows. The words are from 2 to 5 letters long.]

Then connect spaces so as to form words. Lines cannot be crossed. Win if every letter is used. (See "Word Game Idea" by C.S. 8/22/64.)
GAME idea. On a quadrille layout similar to that shown use a random method of marking a certain number of arrows.

[Diagram of a 6 x 6 grid. There is a dot in the upper left corner and another near the center. There is a red line with arrows on it meandering orthogonally throughout the grid. To the right of the grid the numbers 1 thru 6 are printed vertically. There are hash marks next to them. (5 wuth 1, 2 with 2, 2 with 3, 2 with 4, 2 with 5, and 1 with 6).]

Then starting at one corner form a path so that
each arrowed line is traversed in the proper direction. Each segment
of the (red) line between turns is recorded. Have some time limit
as to how many of each length can be used..
(In the sample too many 1-longs have been used.)

GAME idea. Player can move tho one, or possibly 2,
layouts similar to PAPER BOXING. Spaces landed in allow
buying and selling of stocks with object to make the most
money. (To be developed.) Possibly most of the spaces can be
filled in in the printing with only some spaces to be filled
in at random to cause variety.
