8/8 SATURDAY 6 AUGUST
Transfiguration 1966 218th day - 147 days to come
From Alice rcd. the rules for INFLATION by Glenn Q. Ripley, Jr.
The game is similar in concept to BOOM OR BUST.
Thinking of making FOA into a game for 2 to 6 players.
Use a 7 x 7 checkered board. There are 49 square pcs.
6 sets of 8 pcs. numbered from 1 to 8 and 1 pc. with
an arrow as shown [drawing of a square with an arrow inside pointing right]. The players choose their colors
then all 49 pcs. are placed face down and shuffled,
and then placed on the board and turned face up. The arrow
points to the first player. The pcs. of unused colors are
removed (with two or three players or one or two extra colors
can be left on the board which cannot move, but can be
captured.) M
Movement of pcs. is as many spaces in any direction
(including diagonal) as there are pcs. next to the isol moving
pc. Isolated pcs. can move 1 space if an odd number
and two spaces if an even number. Captures are by replacement.
A player can only capture one pc. of
a given number. If all pcs. of a given number are
captured, a player may capture his own piece of
that number, the only time a player may capture his
own pc.
Object is to capture five pcs. in consecutive numerical
order.
