Yamodo! I have no idea how to pronounce it or what it even means, but I think that might be the point.

At the time they were selling this sheets of paper with a crazy nonsense word at the top of each page, a haphazard line or two in the middle of the page, and “Is…” and a couple …

Peggy is an inventor chum of mine and so I asked her to tell me a little about how she came up with the game. She was also nice enough to …
