<u>Phil Shoptaugh</u>
<u>Phil Shoptaugh</u> told me about his game <u>LINES</u> - he sent me  <br>
the patent on it. He has now simplified it greatly but is still  <br>
not sure Four Generations will do it. (Incidentally, he is  <br>
taking some of his royalties in stock so he'll have a stake in  <br>
the company.)  <br>
The board is as shown. Each player has the  <br>
following pcs.  <br>
 
[Two diagrams: The larger shows a roughly 4 x 4 grid of interconnected squares and hexagons. The smaller shows three different hexagon pieces along with a small square piece. These are all identical in size to the associated spaces on the board. There are 2 of one hex, 4 of another, 2 of a third one, and 8 of the squares.]
 
Two play and take turns placing pcs., either an  <br>
octagon or a square. A square pc. must remain  <br>
where it is placed. A player may, instead of  <br>
placing a pc., rotate an octagon or move it to  <br>
another position. He still hasn't decided whether  <br>
to allow a moved pc. to be rotated and, if rotated,  <br>
a limit of one face on a turn or any  <br>
number. Object is to complete a path between  <br>
the players two sides of the board. Opponent's pcs. can be used  <br>
and a path can turn at a crossing point.  <br>
