This is a tiny little game that will fit on the corner of a floppy, and for something that is so uncomplicated, its, strangely addictive. Of course, I don't know about you, but sometimes uncomplicated is soothing [no, Stormy, you're not as dumb as the last game made you feel, you can win something!]

Anyway, there is a grid and you and the computer take turns going first to pick a number, which becomes your score for that round. Then the other of you must take a number from one of the rows the other number shares; either horizontally or vertically. Each game takes 1 1/2 to 2 minutes so you're not stuck for half the day; [right, so now there is time to play just one more game, and one more, and.....

Also, I'm not real sure how young, [that's a loong story and has nothing to do with software] but, I think a fairly young child could play this game, since staying within the rules would just evolve recognizing the similarity between the 2 numbers.

So, give it a try, and if someone discovers just how young a kid can play; let me know so next time I will really know, instead of guessing.
