New ideas for a deductive game - tentative home INVESTIGATION Another possible name - TWISTS AND TURNS, On quadrile field each player puts a continuous string of lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 long - but not necessarily in that order. Try to determine the others layout by asking for the content of one space, or more in a limited number of times. Answer is "hit," "near" miss" (new to), on "miss." If get correctly score 1 point. If wrong opponent get two points. Possible for both to try, at any time each has has the same number of turns, made a new layout for BALLY CLAPS. Filled in the numbers on an overlay.
