in California. They asked if he would be interested in any of  <br>
their games for his column. He wondered if I knew anythin about it,  <br>
which I didn't. He'll write and try and find out more about it.  <br>
In his June '72 column he has a game called <u>SLITHER</u>, which was done  <br>
<s>(if I remember correctly)</s> by <u>David Silverman</u> of <u>YOUR MOVE</u>.  <br>
An array of dots of any size - with 5x 6 suggested as a start -  <br>
are placed on a sheet of paper. <s>Players in turn</s> The first  <br>
player places a line connecting two dots orthogonally. Then  <br>
in turn players add one unit of line orthogonally from  <br>
either end until a player cannot play other than to close  <br>
the line, not necessarily end to end. (A scoring system  <br>
can be worked out based on the number of squares in  <br>
the enclosed portion.)
