TRIEDDATA AS FOLLOWS
EACH PLAYER GETS
" SAW FLIP FLOP GO" (Mattel)
Same as REVERSI with different shape board.
Each player has 30 pcs. with his color on top. 2 of these
have "double" on both sides. One has "stop" on the side
of his opponent's color.
When turning a row of opponent's color over and turn
"stop" must stop & turn back those already turned.
Score 1 point for each pc. in each row turned. Include
the sandwiching pcs. in the length of the row (not sure of this).
"Double" in row doubles its value. 2 "doubles" redouble value. Etc.
At end add one point for each of your color showing. Most points
wins.
There is a scorer that registers the score for each player.

Black has three pcs. started on spaces shown.
White has one pc. started as he pleases.
Black moves first.
Black can move forward or to side on any line - one space.
White can move one space in any direction.
Black wins by trapping white at the upper space.
