So it's contradictory, I know, but in working on my games page
http://sandradodd.com/gaming

I've found some things that should be of interest, variously, to some
of you.

There is a Russian dice game that has a game sheet you can print out
here:

It's too hard for me; too many rules and numbers. I glazed over.
But I had never seen or heard of it, so I bring it here for those of
you for whom numbers and rules about them sound fun!

There are some pencil-and-paper games in general. Sprout looks
good. It has numbers, but only one rule. <g>


For those who prefer games based on words and letters, two easy things:

Yesterday Holly was alphabetizing her favorite movies for MyPage, and
"showed me her work." We talked about oddities of alphabetizing, how
phone books put all the capitalized things together, like radio and
TV stations, rather than interspersed, and about it being a little
variable. The video store puts numeric names before A; the phone
book doesn't.

Anyway, here's something I sent her from the games googling:
