<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Dear James:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I hope you can help. I found your web site
on the history of games which I thought to be helpful and interesting.
However, the answer to my question could not be found there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I found a game that has a board of 16 squares,
four rows and four columns.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">There are sixteen tiles each having four
dots. The patterns of the dots are different on each tile. The dots
are arranged on each tile as corners of a square. The dots are: red
(r) , black (k) , white (w), blue (b), green (g) , purple (p), yellow
with '+' sign (+), yellow with '-' sign (-).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">The tile patterns are in the clockwise
direction:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Tile 1: +
p b r</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Tile 2: - p b r

<DIV>Do you know what this game is and how to play it?</DIV>
