netic bases.
<br>She also showed me <u>SHAPE OUT</u>, a game of hers that Parker may be
interested in. It is played on a 3x3 board. There are 8 different
pcs. [pieces] (her model had geometric shapes in different colors). There is a
deck of cards showing different arrangement of three pcs. (not
all possible). Players each take 3 cards which they keep secret.
The pcs. are placed on the board alternately. If a row in any
direction, including diagonally, matches a player's card he throws
off that card and draws another. After all the pcs. are down, players
in turn throw a die and make as many moves as the
number showing. A move is either orthogonally to the empty
space or an orthogonal jump. If during the moves either player
has a matching row or rows they throw off the card or cards.
First to throw off a set number of cards (which actually are
dealt face down to the players) is the winner. Up to 4 can play.
<br>I had constantly better dice throws than she did which gave me
the game. I suggested using the die but each player in turn
moving each throw.
<br>In connection with the suit, Gini said that <u>TORUS</u> was stolen
from an idea submitted to Bill Knox. It was submitted as a
flat puzzle and Knox added the heights in place of colors.
Called Felicia to tell her about my meeting with Keith (except
