Thinking of another p&p [illegible strikeout] game. There is a 5x6 field
in the center. Each of from 2 to 4 players has a 6x6
field filled with numbers from 1 to 9. They also have
cardboard squares with R [arrow pointing to right], [arrow pointing to left] L, U [arrow pointing up],
and D [arrowing pointing down]. Starting from a set
(differently shaded) box on their field players "bid" for
"properties" by playing an arrow square face down. The
first unused <s>squ</s> number in that direction is their "bid."
Each player in turn chooses a "property" and all bid on
it. Score for each group at the end - maximum extent
horizontally multiplied by maximum extent vertically. Max
score is 6x5=30. A single "property" score 1. (Later
thought of a tentative name - <u>LANDGRAB</u>.)
