So it seems that having gone off half cocked, and shot his bolt,
Mark Steere has implicitly admitted my claim after all! ;-)
But who cares about priority. (other than Mark...)

So am I ! It seems I have gone off half-cocked, at least with this
random comment. I must have been thinking of something
particular that turned out to be not so general.
There's no obvious reason why, in fact, there shouldn't be
such a game, (locally hex, toroidal, equi-tasked), and
in fact I have constructed one in a parallel post, though
it's not (yet) especially satisfactory.
I still claim, however, a game of extreme cuteness and
considerable "naturalness", with my "N.Z."
N = North and Northwest; Z = eaZt and northeaZt.
N = Negative slope; Z = poZitive slope.
NZ = New Zealand. YAY!
