To I/S. Alice, Felicia, and Bryce Russell - V.P. of AMT there. Bryce took us <br>
out to lunch, Discussed games. <br>
He was thinking of a game and played with triangular dominues <br>
divided like this [Diagram of small triangle] with a different colors instead of <br>
numbers, Told him about <u>COLOROMOS</u>. He is thinking of playing to <br>
surround a color. Told him about <u>TROMINO GO</u> and then we played <br>
it. He seemed to like it, but no further comment.  <br>
Showed him <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> and he liked it. Wants it sent.  <br>
Showed him <u>DATA</u>. He liked the idea of the notched cards but not the
continents or the business motif. He said he'd think about it <br>
and I said I would. <br>
Discussed <u>FREE FORM</u> and its resemblance to <u>UNIVERSE</u> <br>
He suggested using connected triangies instead of squares.  <br>
Later thought about this but triangles didn't seem to <br>
work too well, Hexes, however, seem just the thing. <br>
There are 7 possible shapes for 4 connected hexes. To keep <br>
the relationships I worked out for the quadrominoes, only 5 <br>
