### 1/5 — Huh?

*2014-01-21*

This game must have been rushed out before being tested.  There are no instructions.  I figured I would be able to figure out the object of the game, but to no avail.  What exactly are you supposed to do with the city names?  Unscrabble them and make other words???  Who knows?  Maybe the next version will tell us.
