[DIAGRAM OF AN 11 x 11 GRID. THE NUMBERS 1-12 RUN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP AND FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ALONG THE LEFT EDGE. (Transcriber note: Not sure if SS meant for it to be an 11 x 11 grid or a 12 x 12 grid which was misdrawn. The number one is actually at the exact corner and does not correlate with a row or column.)] | |||
Layout as shown. 121 number tiles that would fill in the spaces to make a multiplication table. 4 racks, 11 blank tiles. | |||

Play is similar to <u>OLD MAID</u>. A player wins by holding the 3 special cards in his hand at one time. If a player by playing cards, reduces his hand to zero he is out (How can the others tell?) | |||
