in some type of breakdown of games into different kinds. Since it

<br>Idea for a <u>GAME</u> for <u>FUN FOR ONE</u>. The tear-out sheet will have
a series of lines (probably dotted) that go between
a number of blank squares (say about 6). The printed
material will give-say-10 squares like that shown
and 8 different sets out of the ten will be indicated. [drawing of a square with a red, green, and blue line through it in different directions] Object
is to play the six squares so that the lines of the same color
are connected. (Rough idea.)
<br>Further thoughts on the <u>GAME</u> like <u>FREE FORM</u>. Each
player has a set of pieces of his own color as follows.
<br>[drawings of 6 different shaped pieces]
<br>The playing field is "w" wide and length varies with number playing
probably one space longer than 5x number
playing. Pieces can be moved if they can
be gripped on two sides, including the
two small pieces which are placed in the second level.
