+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."

 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>.)
