Question:

Last week my wife and I invited our neighbors over for a game of Ta-Ka-Radi^®. Just as it was my wife's turn to make a play, Alan leaned over and suggested to her that they could go outside to count the stars. She became so rattled that she upset the tower. Surely his play was illegal?

Answer:

'fraid not! In fact, his move is a perfect example of applied Jungle Rules! (Incidentally, the next time it happens, suggest to your wife that she wait until it is his turn to make a play, and then quietly but enthusiastically accept his offer! See if he can keep his composure then! Be warned, though. Too much enthusiasm on her part - a hand on the knee, for example - might be grounds for disqualification under the 'no contact' rule. To say nothing of divorce!)

A letter from a volcano on Hawaii:

"High To Ta-Ka-Radi^®"

"Being played at 8,000 ft level of Mauna Lea Volcano on the island of Hawaii. head lamps used to spot spaces between blocks or disturb your opponent under jungle rules. Thought you'd find this interesting."
