To post office and mailed the rules for MATRIX, etc. back to Haar Hoolim.

Thinking of another p&p 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 squ 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 - LANDGRAB.)
