Using my hex graph paper
Using my hex graph paper made a layout for <u>SOLAR SYSTEM</u>. Tried it with
an overlay. Dealt out cards until a trip from one planet to another could be
made. Cards not used are "wasted fuel." Must make trip with a set number
of times thru the deck. 3 seems easy. Later thought of possibility of a
special penalty for wasted cards - possibly count 10 points for a deal of
the deck plus 1 point for each wasted card, and allow about 40 to 50 points.
