Had an idea for a game I can probably get away with call- ing DICKENS. On a hexagonal field players take turns placing one letter. Each tries to form words in one of the 6 directions, and up to 6 can play. In placing a letter, a player must make a word in at least one direc- tion - not necessarily his own. Score for longest word in each row as follows: 2-1, 3-2, 4-4, 5-7, 6-10, 7-15, 8-20, 9-25.
Later thinking of some variations. 1) Letters can be skipped in determining a word. 2) Players write their letters in their own color. Players score bonuses for each letter in a word that is not their own color - but not more than 1 for a two-letter word and 2 for a three- letter word, and only if all of the letters are not his own color for these two cases. BB suggested the name CARROLL for SUPERGHOSTS.
