Games, anyone?

Apropos of nothing: does anyone out there have the most recent copy of Games Magazine, with an unmarked copy of the mini-puzzle-suite by Mike Selinker, Mark Gottleib, and Teeuwynn Woodruff? I don't find myself willing to pay $4.50 for a copy of the magazine, but I'd pay someone to photocopy it for me, if they have it.

I've got one. Not surprisingly. :)

Who is "Teeuwynn Woodruff" an anagram for?

For that, you'd have to ask her parents. Unlikely though it may seem, that is apparently her name; I met her, I think briefly, at the Vancouver NPL convention.

One web page tells me that "Teeuwynn Woodruff, a well-known game designer[,] had half her name given to her by her Dutch parent and half by her Irish parent." I'm assuming that he means they each contributed half of her first name, and not that her father contributed "Woodruff" and her mother "Teeuwynn". I can't vouch that this is true, but websearching "Teeuwen" does turn up a lot of Dutch webpages, mostly about musician Hans Teeuwen, and "-wynn" is a plausible Celticization.
