Bill's written directions made more sense; I have to admit that I've never played Aquarius before. And... here's interesting news... one of the other teachers in my Biology class did her hands on activity with vertebrates and invertebrates, and the kids played dominos with it... to match up the characters, and such. I felt like jumping up and saying, "HEY! Are you reading my EMAIL???" ;)

I'm having a friend make templates for me in Photoshop and we'll see what we can do. What I'd love to have is say PDFs of all the various cards that can be downloaded and printed out on cards - or stickers and put on playing cards!! - available.

As for how to describe - I think Bill hit it on the head when he said "look at a deck of Aquarius." At that point, it's like: wherever you see water, think "Fish", wherever you see fire, think "mammal" etc.

Does THAT help/make sense? If not, I think I can get my writer's hat out and describe it more...

    Like I said, you COULD use the word in the context of your

    Heh.  Actually, I purposely chose adopted, because I didn't
    really "adapt" or change anything significant, and I didn't
    really want to say "stolen" from Aquarius.

So, I was using the definition: a·dopt vt

    It happens to all of us, Bill.  Its one reason we have
    editors!:)  I saw one that used 'adopted' instead of 'adapted',
    I think at the top.   That's the only one I remember off the
    top of my head.  And the only reason I remember it is because
    you COULD use the word adopted there, so I had to process it
    logically in my mind.
