W H E E L S A N D B O N E S
by Rick Ferreira
All began with Og. He wuz smart Neanderthal (we call sumtimes Wise Og)
who make first wheel. Whut wheel do, we still not know but he say it great
invenshun. Hey, least it not burn like dang fire. Anyway, he scratch lines
in dirt -- two cross, two down. Not bad art, eh? Then Og get wheels and
sum bones frum ded dinusore. Plenny of them laying round since that dang
comet hit. Then he say, "Ug, you be bones. I be wheels. We play two games
with lines. Game One we try get three -- that one more than two, okay? --
in row. Cross, down or diagunal."
Ug look confused (normal) so Og say, "Game One call Tic-Tac-Toe. Don't
ask why. First one get three in row win. What say?"
Ug scratch hed and say, "What diagunal mean?" Og hit Ug bout hed and
body. Og say, "Next game call Wheels And Bones. It same as Tic-Tac-Toe
except try NOT get three in row. Get three in row and lose."
Ug look like he understand so Og get worried. "Two more rules for
Wheels And Bones. If you play bones (look like X) on both side of wheel
(look like O) last play switch. Like this:
X ! O ! X = last play X ! O ! O
--------- ---------
! ! turn into this ! !
--------- ---------
! ! ! !
"In Wheels And Bones it good idea to get last play to switch," Og
explaned. "You don't want get three in row. Last rule. If you play and
trap wheel in corner, last play switch. Like this:
! X ! O turn into this ! X ! O
--------- ---------
! ! X = last play ! ! O
--------- ---------
! ! ! !
"See how it work?" Og ask. Ug mumble sumthing but can't hear cuz of volcano
erupt. Rock hit Ug on hed. Ug say, "I get it now. Try NOT get three in
row. But what diagunal mean?"
Og scratch hed and mutter, "Oy vey."
Use mouse or joystick to play. Don't eat mouse. Don't beat mate with
joystick. Use to play game and move wheel and bones. Score kept so you can
see who smarter, Og or Ug. Two cavemen play or one caveman (Og) play
against computer who play for Ug. Ug play like dum caveman or like smart
computer. You chuze. Computer made of rock not reel smart, but better than
dum caveman. Og looking forward to Bronze Age. Got great idea for game
made from automatic transmishun. Call Chess.
